A classic!

'Changes' was the first Ama Ata Aidoo book I actively remember reading. I was in junior high and was so in love with it that I wanted to write a story exactly like it! (I was also half in love with Esi's second husband). This book was my first introduction, at that stage,

@virgo2384 Interesting question. The Ghana Bureau of Languages has some published resources. That would be a good book source... Otherwise, hang out in very Ga areas of Accra and just learn by interaction...

Books vs. Movies

What's your go-to??

Would you read a book that has a movie made from it or would you rather watch the movie and let the book be??
