I hope more young Mexicans take the initiative to learn Nahuatl just like many young Irish people have done with Gaeilge.
That’s funny you say that cause I’m Mexican and Irish, going to teach myself Nahuatl and Irish😁
@@adrianmendoza9135 That's one killer racial combination, Adrian. Bendiciones.
@@adrianmendoza9135 Irish-Mexican club 🙌
@@Lightningstreak0pika Both incredibly brave peoples! Los mexicanos no olvidamos Eirinn go deo, nunca.
I’m a Newfoundlander but I love the sound of Nahuatl, so… why not.
Yo broe honestly thank you for this, I'm Mexican and I always felt ashamed for being clowned on for not being able to speak Spanish fluently but never really had problems pronouncing words in Nahuatl. You're the best, may the ancestors protect and watch over you.
Why not study regularly at the website run by the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language?
There are lots of references to well-written books on Spanish.
@@user-xl4wo9gf8z because Spanish is the language of our oppressors and colonizer
@@user-xl4wo9gf8z he’s a Native American, an Aztec, that’s the language of our Gods and ancestors! This language was spoken in North America way before Spanish or English came here!!
Don't be ashamed bro. I'm Mexican with some indigenous blood and I don't speak Nahuatl. Think of it like this. Nahuatl has been spoken in Mexico for several thousand years while Spanish has only been spoken there for like 500 years. So on the contrary, you should be proud to be a native Nahuatl speaker. I truly envy you.
I fully understand that I learned Spanish in school but in New Mexico they speak a different type so I can get along in Mexico or Spain but here I can’t converse with elders
Hi I am Japanese and I am learning Nahuatl. I found Nahuatl really interesting. Love your video
hajimemashite! Boku wa nihongo ga daisuki desu! Demo, Kanji o shirimasen >_
@@thenahuatlchannel3896 Wow you really speak good Japanese! Actually as a native speaker I think kanji is difficult to write and recognize as well.
I really like your Nahuatl video, yoroshiku onegaishimasu m(_ _)m
That’s awesome, never expected a Japanese to be interested in Nahuatl
Thats crazy 😆 I am Mexican American and looked up abit of Japanese and their early history, awesome!
You’ve inspired me as a Mexican American rediscovering my roots. Nahuatl is such a beautiful language
I was plucked out of Puebla, Mexico. My Grandma spoke Nahuatl. But she didnt get the chance to pass it down before we were taken to America in the 90s. Thank you!! I am trying to find my roots. I dont know where to start.
Nahuatl is definitely all around in Puebla, good luck!
I’m a history teacher myself and I love talking about the Aztec Empire and the Mexica people. In the context of pre-euro contact, it was such a thriving and rich culture. It warms my heart to see people reinvigorating such a beautiful language, and to see that the culture itself is far from lost.
Thank you. The Aztecs really don't get the credit that they deserve.
Tlazocamati huel miac 💯
It's actually spoken by over 1 million people in Mexico alone! The language and culture are FAR from gone
Da'an'zho pyialli I'm 100 💯% native american indigenous mexican apache aztec of mexico tlazcohmati thank you love our people 🕵🏾♀️💎👏🏾💥
K onda soy mexica nacido en Estados Unidos y me encanta nuestra historia y siempre eh querido aprended Nahuatl , thanks for making these videos💪🏼
my grandparents speak nahuatl but sadly because of poverty and drug abuse they never passed it down to my dad or my tia, i want to learn it and keep the language alive❤️
You wanna team up and practice off each other? I just started learning serious yesterday watching these vids
How do those things keep them from teaching that language to their children?..... At least in America, the kids of the ppl born in the US were forced to not speak Spanish.....did that also happen with Nahuatl?.....
Greetings to the Aztecs from a Ukrainian from Ukraine! We know about your great civilization!
Greetings to yall out there!
I am beyond grateful to have found your channel cousin! I am a descendant of the Nahuas, Otomi, Huichol tribes and my ancestors forgot their ways and language centuries ago. So to come across this and to learn of the book on Amazon I feel happy that I’m finally coming home. I’ve been searching since my childhood the ways of my people. Thank you for preserving the language. May the creator bless you for the work your doing.
excellent, glad to hear :)
I'm just glad I'm not the only one in search of the return of our language. I'm a descendant of the Mexika 👍🏾
Hello what book you recommend?
My husband and children are descendants of the Otomi. I hope one day they are interested in their beautiful heritage along with my side having Scottish and German ancestry.
I am from the American northeast. I am very fascinated by pre-Colombian languages and cultures, and have always wanted to learn the native tongues. Since it is far more studied than the other native languages, I’d like to learn Nahuatl.
I am an American and am very interested in the Nahuatl language. I want to learn it because I think that Nahuatl is a very interesting language, I also want to learn a language that people do not normally think about, and I also just want to learn the language.
Picked up the book a couple weeks ago to relearn the language my great grandfather couldn't pass to his children. Looking forward to seeing more from this channel!
which book?
DJ Syntraxx Follow the channel you”ll see his book 📖. It’s call Learn Nahuatl the Language of the Aztec and modern nahuas , by Yan Garcia. , I got mine too.
I’m looking forward to it to share it with my children when I have kids in the future
@@ooeygooeycheese Aztecs weren't the only people of Mexico.
One of the most helpful videos out there. I’m Mexican American and I’d love to learn the language of my ancestors. I took a dna test and it turns out I’m 72% native so learning this language makes me feel closer to my roots. Keep up the great work!
The average Mexican is 59% Native American ancestry. Mexico is a Native American nation, even though we are also culturally Spanish.
@@lewisc9959 culturally Mexico took as much as it could from the natives, unlike some other people more north
@@tuluppampam Absolutely. Mexican Spanish ir greatly enriched with Nahatl words! Some are even used in American English such as coyote, peyote, sotol or hisote, tomate, chile....
This is my first lesson. Living abroad, this Mestiza is wanting to reconnect with my indigenous roots. It sounds like a very sweet language.
Hey man thanks for teaching us a beautiful language that surpassed centuries of human history progressing alongside one another. For weeks, I've had urges to learn both Czech and the Aztec language, Nahuatl. Now I've finally began to learn and practice utilizing these words to acquire in my mind. Your channel has inspired and motivated me to continue my language studies. Thank You!
Note to self: do no practice my ‘TL’s when I’m eating a snack 😭🤣
In reclaiming my indigenous roots (Mexican side of family assimilated hard & I was never allowed to speak to them growing up) these videos have been amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼
Gracias mi hermano ...por tus enseñanzas de Language...
I’m so happy that you created this channel because my mom and grandmother grew up in Tlaxcala and there’s hardly anyone speaking Nahuatl and I got so interested in my family culture when I was 13 and I always wanted to know the language
excellent glad you are learning now!
This is amazing. I’m trying to retrace my roots (Mexican and German). My mothers side has been in Texas for generations now and my great grandmother was the last who actively spoke even Spanish. I feel like learning Nahuatl is a key to having a greater connection with not only my roots but the land upon which I live.
Your dad and his family didn’t genocide your moms family? I’m shocked! The Germans and Northern Europeans love to genocide all the non Aryan people all over the world. 😳
I've been looking for a channel like this since around 2008/09. I'm so stoked right now. Tiahui!!
is Tiahui another way to say tlazocamati?
I've been trying to learn Nahuatl from A Paquilitztli's channel, and his videos were so informational and good but I felt like I needed a lower level to start off and then work my way up. I spent forever trying to find good resources and suddenly found your channel and immediately subscribed! Thank you for this series, it's just what I needed to start speaking Nahuatl!
Is he the homosexual who lives in San Francisco?

Thank you for sharing from Lydia. Enjoyed the teaching. You teaching is easy.
I'm hoping to one day become a fluent speaker and be able to honor my ancestors by learning their language
This is an amazing resource. I have so much to learn. A few years ago i learned that my great great grandparents were the last to speak Nahuatl but i do not know which variation it was. Thank you!
You are definitely a natural born teacher. I appreciate the ease in which you teach this beautiful dialect/language. My father is P'urépecha. I never got to meet him, but I wish I could find a teacher like you on TH-cam to learn P'urépecha. Any recommendations to guide me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with your followers 💖
Holland here, thanks for these videos. Really helpful, much love!
Thank you for learning and teaching our native tongue 🥺💖
Tlaskamati! I just started to study the book 📚 I look forward to the next video.
Feel free to post any questions, best of luck , or kwalli ohtli!
I just found out I’m 25% Nahua. I’m glad I found your channel.
Thank for this channel. I recently did some research in my family ancestry and was amazed to find out my 13th Great Grandfather was Moctezuma Xocoyotzin. I am so proud if my heritage and i am wanting to learn the beautiful language of my great grandfather. Peace and blessings ❤️
Awesome, hope u can learn a few words that ur ancestors breathed out! :)
Soy Mexicana! Me encanta este lenguaje! Me gustaría ver mas videos tuyos!!
Notokah West Coast Graffiti gracias for this I'll definitely watch the whole lesson you've put out 🙏🏼
Hey bro I appreciate the research you have done, and being honest about no addenda just passing on the language so we could keep its authenticity alive, and never forget our ancestors. I am Caxcan de Teocaltichillzin or Teocaltiche Jalisco. Keep up the great work
I am tecuexe so we're neighbors, thanks!
@@thenahuatlchannel3896 all my grandfathers with the name Nava have lived in Teocaltiche since 1760 a very special Pueblo para Caxcanes. I am sure our relatives shared the same rain for many years. We support you.
I discovered your channel recently. I have a considerable mastery of both English and Spanish. I speak a mediocre Italian, and caveman-like Romanian. I'm fluent in the promiscuous PortuÑol, and I can read Cyrilic and a very basic Chinese and Japanese. Why did I yearned for the language of half of my ancestors until so recently? you humble me, my dude. Thank you.
My first nahuatl lessons were with your channel Canal Nahuatl a few years ago. You got a knack for teaching! Your videos are very easy to follow. Thank you! "Timoittazceh ceyoc hueltah!"
Appreciate that, Tlaskamati!
really a great instructor, I feel like I'm picking it up on the first lesson. The repetition is key for me.
omg thank you for this!! this is my biggest goal
Thank you sir. being able to understand the way a language works now helps understand (at least a little) how a language was before. Looking at the glyphs with a better understand lets you understand better. :)
BTW - Always check your sources no matter what :). You have that right. There's a difference between ancient aliens and an academic journal paper.
My neighbor in Mexico which is almost like my grandma calls me okichpil even though I am an older teen. It just makes me think how wholesome she is.
This is the REAL Mexican culture.
My family from my mother's side( Dad & Mom were both from Veracruz) would speak around me when i was a teenager and I was always curious but they weren't too keen on teaching but my cousin tought me a bit. Now im an adult and verrry curious to learn. We all need to know where we came from and not let our culture die out or forget our ancestors no matter what they did, respectively.
This is an awesome channel, man! Glad I came across it. I remember I was really interested in learning Nahuatl back when I was in middle school, but I could never find any videos teaching it on TH-cam back in the day. I'm a half-Mexican, half-Irish dude from Texas, and I've sort of made it a mission of mine to learn the native tongues of these countries.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Absolutely invaluable!
Notokah Citlalzin. My roots come from tenochtitlan aka Mexico City or El D.F. Just subscribed. Thank you glad I came around your channel.
So excited I found this channel! Thank you!
Been thinking about watching these videos for a while, finally did and looking forward to watching more
Great series. Mad props for conserving and spreading the language like this.
This is fantastic! Thank you for putting this together and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you I've search for this❤
This is perfect! I’m looking forward to future lessons 😃✨
Come to come! tlaskamati!
thank you so much for this! after three years of learning spanish i've been looking for resources to learn nahuatl too. this channel is easily the best i've found, such good quality audio, and so accessible with how you go over the vocab
Thanks a lot for your lessons! After visiting Mexican places of interest last year, we decided to learn more about native history of Mesoamerica. And your course is so useful! Keep teaching! Good luck!
All my family that knew the language are out of reach or have sadly passed and Im only limited to basic phrases. you’ve given my 7 year old son the opportunity to properly learn and understand more than what I can teach him, thank you!🥹
Listo para aprender mi idioma original. Gracias hermano
I have been wanting to learn Nahuatl since I can remember. I listened to Tales From Azlantis podcast where you appeared as a guest to talk about learning Nahuatl. I’m glad I did, I ordered your book, just waiting to receive it, and found your TH-cam channel and Facebook group. I appreciate you! I’m going to immerse myself in your lessons. Tlaskamati!
Post questions anytime, enjoy :)
So excited to learn from you brother
Saludos desde Miami Florida 🏝️😎👍💙💯🔥💯 thank you for showing are language Aztec am Mexican am learning nahuatl
Im 22 and my family is from puebla and have been wanting to learn this beautiful language for so long . Much love , hopefully i can help teach my friends and family.
Oh how beautiful!!! I’m loving this!
I remember the vlogger Sabbatical touring through Mexico to find people to speak Nahuatl to. Cool language.
Muchas gracias por su valiosa contribución Maestro.
A person I follow on Twitter recommended your channel to me (I asked how to pronounce Nahuatl). I absolutely love how you start with small concrete examples and build from there.
Thank you so much for helping us connect with our ancestral roots❤️🔥
Thank you so much! I have a young student who mainly speaks Nahuatl, and I really want to be able to communicate with him and show him that I am interested in the language he and his family speak!
Que Dios le bedinga por estas videos!!
Talk to some folks that speak "regular Spanish" , not the text book stuff that is Spain's language . Most Mexicans speak a mix of Nahuatl and Spains spanish.
I cant believe i found a video for the huastec version! Im a descendant of the huastec people and been wanting to connect more with my indigenous side. Really appreciate this video!!
Check our all my videos theres tons more :)
I love it cant wait to learn more
Yan, thee best temachtiani in socal!
I am so excited to have found this channel! I've been wanting to learn Nahuatl for a very long time and am looking forward to learning.
Welcome here!
I appreciate you so much, this will be my 7th language im picking up.
Thank you so much for putting effort in teaching this beautiful language... I'm a Brazilian self-learner, and Nahuatl is on my bucket list!! Greetings!!
MY RESPECTS TO THIS GUY DEPARTE DE RAUL NAVEJAS III 🇺🇲🇲🇽 SALUDOS AND KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB IN PRESERVING HISTORY...
Thank you for this, i really want to learn the language of my ancestors.

Tlazcamati Yan looking forward to the next one..
You are wonderful! Tlazokamati!
Thank you for this, look forward to viewing your videos and learning. Thank you for sharing this knowledge
Thankyou so much for creating this channel and having the passion to carry on what has been lost❤️I have found it hard to find resources of correct information on our ancestors and this channel is an amazing resource I love you and Thankyou Thankyou for this channel ❤️I know our ancestors cherish you
This is awesome āchcāuhtli, I’m subscribed and plan on learning with you. Much love from Texas
I have to learn the language for a movie I’m going to be in.
Thank you for these videos.
Love this!
Thank you for this. Teaching my children and making this a family foundation.
Powerful sounding language
recently ive been trying to connect with my native roots, i dont even know what tribe my family comes from since we are so disconnected from it. but i thought if i cant figure out specifically, i could at least try to reconnect with what most mexicans are familiar with, nahuatl. thank you very much for your lessons! i look forward to learning more from your videos!
I think thats a good idea, nahuatl was a general language then and it can be once again, not all of us can relearn our original language or reconnect so nahuatl is a great space for reconnecting
@Lewis C tbh I’m not sure. My mom told me she was born in Agua Buena but I don’t think they’re originally from there. They moved after a few years to Matamoros and that’s where most of them stayed.
You're a really good teacher! Tlascamate!
Just found your video so great have been wanting to learn this thanks
Excellent presentation of elementary Nahuatl. Good for building a foundation in this fascinating language.
Este contenido vale oro, identidad en un video, además empieza por la variante Huasteca ❤. Subscrito.
Very well presented --I love it.
THANK YOU. love from croatia
this awesome! I love your books and you are a big inspiration for me.
Thank you for that! Tlaskamati
