Kofi Asante during his conversation with some Ghanaians revealed he lived in Ghana for a couple of years until he left the country in 1988 and during his time, he learned some of the local languages in the country including Twi, Ga, Hausa, Ewe among others.

When asked why he can still speak the Twi language ahead of the other languages so well even after leaving the country in about 33 years ago, he answered he noted that every Ghanaian one way of the other can speak and understand the Twi language hence motivated him to speak Twi with every Ghanaian he comes across on the streets of London.
