Brother teaches sister native language 

Hey Anna, so I'm biracial too. My mom is Cameroonian and my dad is French. I actually didn't learn the language even though my mom is the African one. Why you ask? Well, she says it's because it was harder speaking in Douala to me when I knew as a small child that she also spoke French (since she spoke French to my dad). So I have some sympathy for your dad. When he was with your mother, Dutch was the language of the house. Whereas for your brothers it was Ewe.

Anna, I loved this video so much. We need more language challenge videos! This definitely encourages me to push myself to speak Ewe/Mina since I can understand a good amount already. I just need to speak what I know and not worry about how I sound lol.

Ana, another excellent video! Glad to see that you have recovered from the doldrums after your initial relocation back to the Netherlands from Ghana. Netherlands may have all the modern conveniences but we excel at being warm and friendly-something you will always come back to Ghana for. For your information, Ga names like Adjetey etc are common among the Ewe, especially those in Togo because the Gas had to run to Togo from Akwamu wars in the 17th Century. They became assimilated to Ewe and lost their Ga language but continued to carry their Ga names. The remnants of some of those refugees in Togo still speak the Ga language. The Gas were later joined by people from Elmina in Ghana who were also running from war. The Elmina people also lost their Fante language and adopted the Ewe language which they call Mina. The Ewe language your brother is teaching you is the Mina language. Best wishes for your RU-vid career! You are a natural interviewer.

Wow , 1st time hearing Togo Ewe! Sounds so french-influenced compared to Volta Ewe. Some sounds familiar to me. Can't wait to be fluent in Ewe. Very interesting video, thank you!

What a nice video! I enjoyed it! Anna keep trying. I heard this and believe it, language is something where knowing even a little is worth a lot. Keep learning!

😂😂😂😂babanawo looooo Anna! Ik lach je niet uit, echt niet😝. Mijn vader is Ghanees/Togolese en ik waardeer hem echt dat hij moeite heeft gedaan om mij Ewe te leren. Ewe is echt een taal die je vanaf baby moet leren, want tis echt moeilijk en er zijn verschillende Ewe, dus niet alle Ewe versta ik geweldig. Anyway als je wilt oefenen ben ik er voor je😘

Loving this video and you guys 😍 your content lately is so entertaining, keep up the good work!!!

Such a nice video with baby bro!. His English is very good.

Hi Anna!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

Anna you know thinks are kind of mixed with the Gan, Mina and Ewe language. In Togo they call Mina language Gan or “Guengbe” and some of the words are the same in Gan and Mina, but there is more similarities in Ewe and Mina. The name Adjete or Adjele is purely Gan and the Minas use it too, because after all Minas are Gans too☺️. But as Africans we are all the same. Anyway good job guys👍🏽

I didn't know you and your dad were Gun. There's a lot of interesting history there. Your brother speaks beautifully. His mother did well in teaching him. I think the issue with your dad is it's not easy to teach when you're the only parent speaking the language. Having a wife who also spoke his language made it easier to pass on to the children.

Anna you are very determine that good.

Loved this

Togo people are originally Ga. Thats why they have Ga names. Especially people around Anahor area.

This was hilarious but I commend you for trying Good job

Hi Anna, Happy Wednesday. How was it learning the Ewe language/ phrases with your brother? You know I can't speak the language either 😅 but I can understand what you're saying to me. Loved today's video 😊🙌🏾 Sending love ❤️🫶🏾

Yes Anna you are right about the names😂

Hi Anna, I thoroughly enjoyed that video with you and your brother. You should do a follow up with your dad about this language thing. Also you should entice your brother to come on your videos as the two if you are great together.

Well done Anna! This is a lovely video. Philip‘a English is good 😊

Adjetey and Adjele are ewe names too

Thank you Anna for this video. It was very funny. I am lucky, I have live 4 years in Togo and was able to learn and speak the language. I will add, if both parents are not from Togo or if you do not live in Togo, it will be very difficult for the children to speak ewe/mina.

Your dad, has done well for speaking ewe with your brothers and they can speak it, most kids born in Europe cannot speak their parent language oooh. Only English language most parents speak with them.😍😍

Hi Anna, Adjeley and Adjetey are Ga, they are not Ewe names. You are correct when you say the Ewes have names like Mawuli and Esianyo. My sister is Amerley and my senior brother is Amartey. I am the second daughter and so am called Amorkor and in your line your dad's second daughter would be Adjorkor. The Ga's name their children in the order they are born while Akans name their children according to the day they are born. I am also mixed race, English/Ga, and also do not speak the language as my dad is Ga and decided not to speak to us children in Ga. I have lived in Ghana for the last 13 years and struggle with the language.

Anna try to visit ghanaian shops in amsterdam oost and bijmer

This is great stuff....

I love it ❤️

Love the Ewe language

His english is good 👍

I can't stop laughing am sorry😀😀😀😀😀😀

This your brother is so lovely like you

This was fun watching...Philip really tried

Your brother's English is good👍🏾 very handsome man😊

Anna, you are hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣 I am also biracial with my mum being English n dad German/Ghanaian/Togolese. I have the same problem as you, as my father never spoke to us in any of his languages but kept taking us from Ghana (mother n siblings) to Lomé, Togo for our holidays. Girl, did we suffer just like you over thr...as we struggled with the Mina language and French. I cld understand a bit of what yr brother was saying but thr were times i also got stuck. The earlier sentences he said to you were pretty hard like ...what you said, "text book sentences" !!! Ouch. 🙈

That names belong to aneho people and those gan people who use that names came from aneho according to the history we heard❤❤❤❤❤

I only speak English, lol. I am currently trying to learn Spanish and Creole. SMH...Maybe this will motivate me more. The two of you speak English well and you know other languages, I think it is amazing. 🙂

Ewe is general language in Togo 🇹🇬 but Ga and mina from in ewe mean if you are speaking ga or mina immediately you are speakings ewe , so Ghana Gas from Togo 🇹🇬 like voltariens also from it . Ghana is full Togo 🇹🇬 people

The language is initiatic language a way of thinking,living a identity...should live speak with the people...

Ga are same as awes because of the history between two because dad don’t tell everything.😊

Anna!! Anna!! Congraaaaats!!!!!!

Love this challenge!

Ewes also have names like that Anna

Hey Anna, love this video

Togo have tradition like ga’s .

I think your dad spoke to your brother in Ewe because your dad spoke to his mum in Ewe ? whereas your mum didn’t speak Ewe so maybe that’s why?!

Good job Anna keep trying. Enyo nto

Oh this is the thing for me I forgot ewe but I used to be working there its the best way for me to get my Mina back

Lovely

hahahaha best video.. he should teach you with a cane the African way.

Awesome

Good job guys

🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing... nice try y'all. Good job. With practice you will be fluent. Keep trying.

Does anyone know if the Ghanaian and Togolese Ewe differ much?

I have ewe name Kodjovi Mawunyo

I got ewe school to learn?

You both look like your father

Are any of your parents from around Anecho in Togo?

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍👍

😁😁👍❤️

I suggest you take a short and simple online class with someone who really know how to teach. He need to make it more simple as it’s not difficult

👍🏽❤️🇯🇲🇺🇲
