Hey,

I would like to know the cost of leaving in Tema, accomodation (shareflat, or studio), cost of food (the cheapest), nightlife, transport ...

I would be in internship with a very low salary so I would like to know how much do I need to save before going there for 6 months !

Thanks

Ghana is not a cheap country to live in despite the fact that many people live in poverty.
Cost of living all depends on your life style. There is cheap accommodation but it will be very basic with few amenities. If you eat local food then you can also eat cheaply. I would think you could live on GhC1000 per month but as I say it all depends on your life style.

The money used here is the Ghanaian Cedi and it is worth around 2 to the US$.
I am not sure about English courses available. The availability of accommodation depends on your budget.
