Visting a friend at their home

These lessons are a quick example of how a conversation might occur when a person, Kofi in this example, visits a friend.

In one situation the visitor is invited in immediately (”Amee, bra mu”).

In another situation the visitor is asked for more information (”Eye hwan”)

The visitor usually says “Agoo” while they are knocking on the door.
