Скачать или смотреть Quechua at MIT

Kichwa is a Quechua language variant. Quechua is an Indigenous language and the most widely spoken language in the Americas. It is also one of the world's endangered languages.

Soledad Chango, an instructor at MIT and a graduate student in MIT's Indigenous Language Initiative, led a two-week course in Quechua during MIT's four-week Independent Activities Period. The course, which featured an interactive approach, focused on oral and written skills, emphasizing tasks based on familiar contexts.

In this video, Soledad teaches students a traditional dance from Quechua speakers. She leads them through the dance's steps, counting and giving directions about how to move in the language.
