WE’RE ON TV!
Posted by the GLS Team on Thursday 2nd April 2015
GLS Made its TV Debut on Ghanaian Independence Day!
On Ghanaian Independence Day GLS made its TV Debut on OH TV in a documentary entitled “British Ghanaians: Lost in Translation
In the documentary, ORTIS DELEY (The Gadget Show, Channel 5) set out on a quest to discover the root causes of the decline in Ghanaian languages being spoken in the UK.
Inspired by his own lack of fluency in a Ghanaian language, Ortis is intrigued by the stories of other successful British Ghanaians who aren’t all fluent Ghanaian language speakers either.
Ortis aims to encourage Ghanaians everywhere in Britain to learn their languages and therefore further embrace their cultural identity.
