Learning Ewe

I’ve decided I want to learn at least one language from most of the major continents, and two from Africa.

So as far as Africa I have decided that I wanted to start by learning Ewe. Now you are probably wondering why Ewe.

Well, I’ve been very interested in Ghana for some time now, and this is one of the languages spoken there. It’s also spoken in Togo and Benin.

You are probably thinking that if you were to learn an African language why Ewe, why not Igbo, Yoruba or Swahili. There are a lot of language choices out there, but I am choosing languages from the two countries I am the most interested in, Ghana and Nigeria, so the second language, I’ll start learning later will probably be Yoruba. Though I’m not sure yet.

But I am sure about the Ghanian language, I’ve chosen Ewe. I’m mainly choosing it because it’s a challenge…

With millions of people speaking it you would think that there would at least be some literature about it, but sadly no. At least none that I have access to in The States. I have found a Peace Corp course and one children’s book. And that’s something that I really want to change . I find that I like research and I thought this would be super fun. To not only study a little known language but also bring awareness of this …

I would love to make an African based language learning app.I’m slowly but surely working on that. But that’ll take some time.

Wish me luck.
