STUDY SPANISH AND TRAVEL TO SOUTH AMERICA

Spanish sometimes called Castilian (castellano) is a Romance language that originated in northern Spain, and gradually spread in the Kingdom of Castile and evolved into the principal language of government and trade. It was taken most notably to the Americas, and also to Africa and Asia Pacific with the expansion of the Spanish Empire between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Today, about 350 million people speak Spanish as a native language, making it the world's third most spoken language. Mexico contains the largest population of Spanish speakers.
Spanish is growing increasingly popular as a second or third language in a number of countries due to logistical, economic, and touristic interest towards the many nations which chiefly use Spanish as the primary language. This phenomenon is most notable in Brazil, the United States, Italy, France, Portugal, and much of the Anglosphere in general.

Meaning and inflection acording to subject - Significado y flexión de acuerdo al sujeto
In English, the verb to be means ser as well as estar, and this fact makes the things a little bit easier. The inflection of the verb to be in simple present tense, for different subject pronouns, is as indicated by the following chart:
En inglés, el verbo to be significa ser tanto como estar, y este hecho hace que las cosas sean un tanto más sencillas. La flexión del verbo to be en tiempo presente simple, para diferentes sujetos, es como se indica en la tabla siguiente:

Singular		Plural
	contraction		contraction
I am (yo soy)	I'm	we are (nosotros somos)	we're
you are (tú eres)	you're	you are (ustedes son)	you're
he is (él es)	he's	they are (ellos son)	they're
she is (ella es)	she's
it is (él/ella [cosa, animal, tiempo, clima] es)	it's

About the Quechua Language

Quechua ("qheshwa") is an indigenous language of the Andean region, spoken today by approximately 13 million people in Peru,Bolivia , Ecuador, Northern Chile, Argentina, and Southern Colombia. It was the official language of Tawantinsuyu, the Inca Empire.

Quechua is a perfectly regular language, which makes learning the basics quite easy. However, a large number of suffixes and infixes can be added to words to change both overall significance and subtle shades of meaning, which leads to a rare expressiveness. Above the beginning level, Quechua requires some vast changes of mind-set as learners try to master bipersonal conjugation, conjugation dependent on mental state and veracity of knowledge, spatial and temporal relationships, and numerous cultural factors.

Quechua Lessons
I teach Quechua lessons in Brisbane. When possible we form classes of a few people for a richer learning experience, though individual lessons are always available. Lessons are usually once a week; short-term intensive training can be arranged. Classes focus on Cuzco dialect. Some live instruction (at least one or two lessons) is essential to understandable pronunciation!
