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!
