Quechua

Whenever I hear about the imminent disappearance of an indigenous language, my socks start to roll up and down and my intensity level about our work increases.

This morning I received an email that I would like to share with the group in hopes that anyone has any possible response ideas to put in the comment fields below:

Dear Mr. Slavic,

I have followed some of your teachings on YouTube. I am not a teacher but learning Chanka Quechua and I am living in Apurimac, Abancay. So the exposure to Quechua speakers is abundant. I am pretty much on my own since the University Quechua teachers follow old school grammar teaching methods.

I want to know what guidelines I can follow to put together my own scripts and structures and then go out to native speakers and practice? Any TPRS Quechua material out there? Or do I simply find Quechua stories and choose structures and select that which will repeated for the lesson plan?

Thanks for any help,

Stephan
