As a Twi learner, you may have encountered situations where a Twi speaker used an expression whose constituent words you understood individually, yet you couldn't grasp the overall meaning of the expression. This phenomenon is commonly associated with proverbs, idioms, and other similar sayings. The purpose of this guide is twofold:

1. to help you make sense of some key idiomatic expressions in Twi.
2. to empower you to use them confidently when speaking Twi.

The guide is organized into twenty chapters, with each chapter focusing on idioms that are commonly used within a specific sensitive topical area. Each introduced idiom in the book comes with:

• a vocabulary breakdown section.
• a meaning section, providing both the literal and figurative meanings of the expression.
• a usage section, featuring other example sentences demonstrating how the idiom can be used.
