With around 10 million speakers, Quechua is the most commonly spoken of the indigenous languages in South America.

You will also continue to learn about Quechua culture and Andean realities, building off of two previous years of Quechua study as well as the summer Pitt in Bolivia program. In addition to focusing on Quechua language and culture, we also will dedicate substantial time to Quechua linguistics. You will participate in the structure of the class, as this is a tailored course. The main goal of this intermediate course is for you to continue to develop the skills necessary to communicate in Quechua. These skills include listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Equally important for communication, you will also deepen your understanding of the various cultural, historical, and political contexts in which Quechua is situated.
