Studying Twi

I have gotten the written text and the MP3 downloaded of the language TWI-pronounced Chwee- That is how I am learning the language is verbally.  The written language is hard to pronounce.
I listen to a lesson play it again and try to say the words with them - oh my!!!

For example: Please = Mepa wo kyew = Me pa chow
                      Yes = Aane = A knee

I use to be good at memorizing but I am not sure with this.  Anyway I have all kinds of cheat sheets and on tape - Jack says to sleep with the tape going boy that would be great but ..... - I will try it!!! Ha! 

Wish me luck - Ese se mesua adee - es set set me seum ade a (in case you need me to interpret it is I need to study!)

3 months and counting

I told a number of my friends at the health club today.  Everyone was very supportive.  I had to cancel my membership for the 4th of October.  Trying to get bills in line for Jack.

Been out looking at shoes, dresses and skirts.  Everything has to be strong since I have to hand wash but I want light cool etc.  Found nothing yet but the search is still on.

I am thinking light broom skirt, with camp shirt; denim jumper with a sleeve or t shirt under it, 50's style dress button down the front with short sleeves-think the Beavers Mom Ha.  Any ideas?? I am willing to look.

Shoes- clarks, merrill something like that in a Mary Jane so I can wear with dresses but they would support my feet on unpaved uneven streets.  Anyone have a fav shoe???

Love to hear anyone's ideas.  Till next time.
