The actress made this interesting revelation during an interview with Tony Best on Akoma FM, monitored by GH Page.

During the interview, Tony Best challenged Joselyn Dumas over her inability to speak Twi fluently, arguing that although she was born and raised in Ghana, where Twi is one of the widely spoken local languages, she hardly speaks it.

However, in her response, the celebrated television host confidently dismissed the suggestion, insisting that she is exceptionally good at speaking Twi but simply chooses not to speak the language frequently.

According to Joselyn Dumas, she does not only speak Twi fluently but can also communicate eloquently using proverbs and other expressions in the language.

To prove her point, the actress switched to Twi and dropped a rather interesting proverb, saying: “Ohia ma nnipa dwene s? kontomire ma mogya,” which translates to “Poverty makes people think that kontomire gives blood.”

Her response has once again demonstrated her command of the Twi language, despite her decision not to speak it regularly in public.
