Inga is spoken in Colombia and Ecuador; it is the northernmost dialect of the grand Quechua family of languages which has some 13 million speakers. This class features Inga language instruction as well as exposure to such cultural elements as community organization, traditional medicine, foodways, myths and legends, music and song, arts and crafts

Come and learn the Quechua language!!!
Note for advisors and students:
There are no pre-requisites for LTAM Q-101, and freshmen are welcome; however, this option requires a deep interest in the peoples, language and culture of the Andes and adjacent lowlands of South America, and should be especially valuable for students who already have a knowledge of one of the other languages spoken in South America. Doctoral students can apply for the summer and year- long FLAS.
