K'iche' Classes
Casa Xelajú offers classes of K'iche', one
of the 22
Mayan languages spoken
in Guatemala. We strongly believe that
one of the best methods for learning a language is to have a complete
immersion into that language and culture, which we offer by providing
a one on one ratio of students and teachers. We also give students
the opportunity to live with an indigenous family (Maya-K'iche')
where they become integrated in the daily life of Guatemala.
|
| Within the class structure, our
teachers are able to offer students the chance to research various
subjects using their acquired knowledge. At
the same time, students can participate as part-time volunteers
in our Community Project "La
Pedrera", or in other communities where they can practice
on a daily basis what they have learned in class. The
city of Quetzaltenango, with its population of 50% Indigenous
y 50% Ladino, is a place rich in the Maya-K’iche’ heritage
with an abundance of cultural linguistic centers such as Association
of Mayan Writers, Pop Wuj museum, The Mayan League, Association
Kawawil, etc. |
