I taught Peace Corps Volunteers/ British Volunteers Overseas as well as Diplomats for several years in Gambia & Senegal before immigrating to the States in 1990. Westerners ( once the grammar structure is understood ) have the advantage of early education and higher learning skills / research that makes it easier to learn a foreign language. It takes us in Africa several years to speak a western language because of the many academic disciplines/courses/standards as oppose to majoring in one particular language to communicate. Adult learning is also quite advantage , however I have seen children of diplomats who fluently spoke months after getting immersed in a local language(s) in Africa. So is nothing new .

Nobody comes to the uk and speak with an English accent unless they come from the uk,I can tell the difference easy but when whites learn a language you cannot tell the difference,when I speak German I have been told I can pass for German even though I'm scotish irish,I can do accents from countries I've never even been too,I can speak with an Australian accent,South African,German Russian,Chinese,Japanese serbian,Croatian, I can do my own countries accents too scotish irish english,welsh etc,I do the accent around the world so good that when people hear me they think I come from there,I tricked a guy from new Zealand once into thinking I came from New Zealand haha

​@@cantagiousca5220All whites most certainly DO NOT speak foreign languages without accents. In fact, most that I've seen speak with their own accent coming through strongly. I'm black British and have been told that I speak languages w zero accent.

Yes, a long time ago I read that there was a strong suspicion that the Jamaican accent and patwa were influenced by Twi.

Bro looks like he wants me to play a game

Why the shock? People have been travelling for centuries. Are the Brits shocked to see a Ghanaian speak English? Maybe he was raised in Ghana as a child like many other European children.

It's like the brothers have seen a unicorn 😅

Did he say he met ( ?) In London in the 80s , also the places he lived ? I couldn’t understand a word but I loved listening to their conversation:)

This is really beautiful to see ❤ I wish british schools pushed language learning more. I'd love to see more of this.

I think English schools should start with Spanish not French. It's easier and they're far more likely to go there.

@des87908 do you know a good tutor? 10 million words might be a bit beyond my capabilities. But Islamic calligraphy and art is gorgeous. Learning languages is empowering and can open doors, its not a zero sum game. Language is knowledge, even learning a computer language can change your life. (Currently learning Ladder Logic and C++) So many free resources out there don't be afraid try it for yourself ;)

​@@mrdeadlift6237 But this guy was born in Ghana and grew up with the language. 🤷‍♀️ So it's not that amazing. It is as amazing as a black Ghanaian, who has lived in England for most of their life, speaking English. 🤷‍♀️

He looks adorable.❤
