I think I know!!  Tough part is figuring out the root word because the dictionary doesn't show plural, words with prefix and suffixes...

Try to identify the verb. That opens the door for me. There's usually a pronoun attached to it.

Meda ase.  So for example,

"Pa kyɛw, wotumi kyerɛ aseɛ anaa?"

Pa kyɛw ( Excuse me)

Wotumi ( verb - you+ can?)
Kyerɛ (teach?)
Aseɛ (this?)

I started to try reading Twi grammar stories as you suggested.  Pronunciation is much better but translating and understanding how to formulate sentences are struggling.
