Description: Content creator @joannabaidoo shares helpful tips on understanding Ghanaian cultural norms when speaking with locals. She explains that one of the first things you should learn is “mepa wo kyew” — a phrase that means please and is used constantly in Ghanaian conversation, even to say thank you. Another key phrase is “eye sen”, which means how much. Joanna explains that when you combine the two — for example, “mepa wo kyew, eye sen?” — you show respect and effort, which can often help you avoid paying the “foreigner tax.” Her advice encourages visitors not to rely only on English but to learn and use simple Twi phrases to connect better and show appreciation for Ghanaian culture.
