The African Culture-What things do you know?

[Kanyiri 0]

Just wanted to add this link. It is the cookbook that Peace Corps Volunteers were given in Ghana. It has basic recipes that obviously only use ingredients that can be found in Ghana. Some are Ghanaian food and others are American foods modified to be used with ingredients available there.

I have been on the hunt to read up on the African Culture- I thought what better way to get more information and learn about some things that I still do not know than to ask my fellow members in the Africa:Sub-Saharan forum. It could be about anything...........that you know to be true that you want to share. I was mainly interested in the male African culture thru my search I saw this book that was written by this author Pete "Oil King" Agbo- Loving the African male: What every women must know. Have anyone read this book? Would also like to hear your reviews on the book if you have read it. I am posting to gain more knowledge.....KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Hello everyone, i'm new to the forum but wanted to post my two (or three, or four) cents!

I'm recently married to a Ghanaian man. He is an Akan. I have to say that, like someone else mentioned, Africa (and even Ghana) is a diverse place with many different subcultures. I've found the most helpful thing for me to do is to attempt to learn his language and how to cook Ghanaian dishes that he likes. The following website is a good resource for anyone married to an African man/woman www.abibitumikasa.com. They off courses in several different African languages including Twi and Swahili. They even offer classes!

Awwwww man! That is such a cool resource. I want to learn hausa and it's not listed. Dang nab it!!! I've been going through an online course from byki.com. They have hausa. It's at your own pace, which is good, cause I forget things now that I haven't been back to Ghana in six months.

Yeah. I know. I downloaded and I'm taking it there. I was looking for it on the website she just posted. That website is very interesting because they have online, face to face courses. Are you doing hausa with byki.com? Maybe we can practice together. I sent my future father in law a birthday card in November with handwritten notes in hausa. Hee Hee. Now, I'm his favorite daughter in law.

Naw, my 'usban, speaks "GA", I can't find that language no damn where.

And you know what, (whispering, "come closer"), I can't understand nothing he says while he's speakin' in tongues, (and guurrrllllll, I can make him speak some tongues ), ahem , but anyway, I can definitely tell when he is cursing some one out.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I can't remember the exact dates of our AOS timeline, but we submitted paperwork in August (I-485, I-765). Hubby has done biometrics and got EAD. Our interview is scheduled for the end of this month. YAAY! We're counting down the days.

What else does he speak? Most africans speak more than one language. Maybe you can learn another one of the languages he speaks.

Zee, do you speak hausa? I have a theory.

Oooo....Good luck! Definitely let us know how the interview goes. Some people on VJ have gotten AOS without an interview, so it may not be terribly difficult.

I do not speak Hausa but my parents do and so do most of the people who live in my area. I speak one language fluently, can understand 2 more and read one of those. Outside all that I speak, read and write Arabic too
