Kichwaaa

Since November 2012 I have been taking Kichwa classes with Kimberly Tellez once or twice a week; I’ve also joined in with my sixth graders at my local school thursday afternoons for their Kichwa class too. I have learned so much of the language, but what I’ve found more interesting is the ancient beliefs and unique culture. To finish up with our weekly classes in Cotacachi City we tryed out our acting skills, filmed, and created the following Kichwa final proyecto video just showing some of what we’ve learned this year, enjoy:
