One of the reasons I started this blog was to disprove the notion that Kumasi folks don’t like speaking English. We don’t just like it, we LOVE it. Otherwise why would we make so much use of it in our daily parlance? In a usually humorous way, English words have been adopted by Kumasi ‘street culture’ and are used so uniquely that they now have very little to do with the original meaning. Say what you will, but this shows a real interest in English. So before you laugh and dismiss the Siano’s humble attempt at making English his own, do read on before you jump to any conclusion.
