Understanding the different cultures of our world, which has become a global village, has been the author’s childhood dream. This dream propelled him to learn the French language in a systematic way. Living in Ghana, a purely anglophone country surrounded by francophone countries, spurred him on to understand the way of life of his immediate global environment.
This quest took him to Togo, Côte d’Ivoire, and Benin, all neighbouring francophone nations. Afer earning his B.Ed. degree at the University of Education, Winneba, he pursued a Master of Philosophy in French at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Having taught for some time, it dawned on him to share what he had acquired through writing French textbooks for junior and senior high school levels. Adopting ‘Partageons’ – a French word meaning ‘let’s share’ – as the name of his series, his books have gained uncommon popularity in the country and won approval from the Ghana Education Service to be used as supplementary educational materials.
He also has an unquenchable passion for writing and reciting poems. He recently authored a book of poems entitled Reasoning and Rhyming, which contains over one hundred poems and is pending publication.
