Methodology

Learning by using the language

Five ways of approaching Quechua that come back in every online class.

01

Rimay

To speak.

“Because a language is learned by using it.”

Speaking practice starts in the very first online class: asking, answering, introducing yourself and holding a conversation.

02

Uyariy

To listen.

“The ear learns before grammar does.”

Your ear is trained with real voices, songs and dialogues to recognise the sounds of Quechua.

03

Takiy

To sing.

“Music holds on to what memory lets go.”

Music, rhythm and repetition help fix pronunciation and vocabulary naturally.

04

Pukllay

To play.

“We learn better when we enjoy it.”

Games, cards and group activities turn learning into an active, memorable experience.

05

Qillqay

To write.

“Writing consolidates what the voice discovers.”

Writing consolidates what you learn and lets you study on your own between classes.

The same approach, now online

The methodology didn't change when we moved online: what changed is where we meet. Live classes keep the conversation, the music and the play that have always been at the heart of our teaching.
