Today, we spent half the day practicing numbers 1-10. As difficult as they are to remember, it became a bit too redundant. We just need to practice on our own. Does anyone out there have a good suggestion for remembering the basic numbers and the tens?
The second half was focused on "expressions of time" and translating verb conjugations. Both of these aspects are crucial to basic conversation in Twi. Here are some of the most important terms for time:
an⊃pa [ana-pa] = morning
awia [ay-wee-ah] = noon / afternoon / sun
anwumerε [an-womay-reh] = evening
anadwo [ana-jwoh] = night
εnnora [ehn-norah] = yesterday
εnnε [ehn-neh] = today
⊃kyena [aw-chenah] = tomorrow
seesei [saay-say] = now
seesei ara = right now ("ara" puts emphasis on "seesei")
akyire yi [aw-chireh yee] = later ("yi" puts emphasis on "akyire")
