    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.

    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 CZcams career! You are a natural interviewer.

    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.

    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.

    😂😂😂😂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😘

    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!

    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 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?!

    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.

    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.

      Jackie, i am biracial with my info above. I have never heard of the Ewes like Anna has said with those Ga names. The Ewes give their children names on the day they were born and not in the order they are born like the Ga's. If two children are born on the same day (not necessarily twins) like on a Wednesday, they will both be called Aku but to differentiate them the older one will be called Aku..ga and the other Aku..vi meaning older Aku and younger Aku.

    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. 🙈
