Meda ase paa hene.

It has become very apparent that based on my life's work I am required to review and continue my Twi studies as it will lubricate my experience when I arrive. :)

Unfortunately due to work demands I did not complete my sessions.  Is there a special fee for students who are completing a class and/or reviewing? Or do you have to pay all over again?

I cannot accurately say.  My feeling memory says 2-4 classes left to complete.  How many classes were there in all?
