LEARNING THE AKAN CULTURE

Hello everyone, today I am going to share one cultural points of the Akans.

# When you attend a ceremony and you’re greeting the elders, you’re supposed to greet from the right to the left. It’s also wrong give a left-handed shake or wave with the left. It’s seen as disrespectful and there might be some penalties especially if it’s done in the presence of royalty.

# You can simply say Akwaaba ‘welcome’ as a friendly and hospitable way of greeting.
