Quechua is a beautiful language, spoken by the indigenous people of the Andes, from southern Equador to northern Argentina. The heart lies in Peru, in the high altitude in Peru in the region of Cusco, the capital of the Inka Empire of old.

As I have found it very difficult to obtain proper material to learn this language I have tried my hand on writing a simple grammar. It consists of 8 lessons and some exercises. I will expand these in order to make it a consistent book, free on the internet to learn the basics of the language.

Remember that in coming to Peru and other places where this language is spoken, people are extremely pleased if you can talk with them in their own language, be it even on a simple level.

If you have any comments on this project you would like to let me know, please mail to vanenos@gmail.com, or use contact

Although I have tried my utmost, and I have the material checked in Cusco by a native speaker, I am not completely fluent in the language and I may make mistakes. I would be glad to learn from you as a reader as well. If you find mistakes or you think it is not right, please send me a mail through contact: Contact opnemen!

Good luck!
