The Class

What a blessing! My first week in Huanuco, Jan Benson and Amador Tucto, (far left) with whom I'll be making the dictionary, taught a class on Quechua grammer. The class was at a training center for young people who want to be involved in missions in the Andes! We spent several hours each day studying Quechua, learning about its grammer, its similarities and differences from other languages in the world, and how the different Quechua languages developed. It was great training for me!

I really enjoyed the other students, and we all loved the "grammer game" in the photo below. Quechua languages utilize really long words, compared to languages like English, and here we had to work together to combine our parts of words to make one Quechua word.

That looks like a really long word, but it's actually kinda small for a Quechua language!
