In this video I have a quick look at an example sentence of Quechua and then you can hear me practise the VERY basic little amount I learned in my couple of weeks here in Peru!
Quechua is a unique and beautiful language that i was privileged to learned as my native language and i could also teach.
+Choche Saune Really? you can teach quechua?
Amaru Kuntur i would say that I'm not full grown up scholar in Quechua, but i would try to teach to those who's interested in learning, just because i've been raised in a Quechua community and can speak, write and read. in fact i may be posting some videos in Quechua pretty soon.
Amaru Kuntur
oh by the way, your name sounds interesting where did you get it.
Choche Saune Oh that's awesome, can I chat in runa-simi with you by Skipe or maybe Facebook.
My name is runa-simi.
Amaru Kuntur
why not, only a dollar a moth and no extra fees. haha just kidding. mine is efrain saune aspa, so look for me and we can talk.
Thumbs up Sir..People like you, genuinely interested in local cultures bring an air of respect to our language. Racism in Lima is so brutal that Quechua speakers choose to communicate using spanish. If "limeños' heard you speaking Quechua they will ridicule you. However, if you as a foreigner speaks it, they will be amazed.. The educational system in Perú was designed to eliminate Quechua (little change as now). Peru promote our culture to attract tourists but it denies our dignity & language
Found this video searching for Quechua to teach my daughter a bit about her heritage, we were both drawn in to your experience- awesome!
Thank you! My partner's mother from Los Yungas in Bolivia speaks Quechua, and I am trying to learn a bit. This was greatly helpful to have it broken down like this
Thank You so much! As a Peruvian I have to admit that You know Quechua more than most of us, which is a shame. But It is never too late to start!
VERY INTERESTING.
I am Peruvian and I feel so bad that I don't even know Quechua at all :(

Hello, encouraging you to learn some if you feel called.
I sing and practice songs in my ancestral languages, when I can. I know very very little, but I do make the attempt.
If you try it, even small words, your tongue remembers, it is in our genes.
It is a beautiful language, all the best
Hey, Benny. I stumbled across your site and just wanted to say that you're doing a fantastic job! I'm also teaching online (although I've only been producing videos for TH-cam for the past few months), and it's been quite rare to find teachers doing interesting things with language learning. Keep up the great work and if there's anything I can do to help your learners improve in learning English, do let me know!
Have a good one!
Drew
Very interesting... . 😊

@josipcro16 No program - TH-cam has a captioning option. Google it and you'll see how easy it is to add AFTER uploading a video :)
Good video about quechua language. Quechua is also official language in my country but although in my country Spanish is the main language Quechua is spoken by millions of people and it's part of our history.
I'll learn to speak Quechua one day.
Gracias por tus aportes y muy interesante tu método de aprender idiomas
Saludos Cordiales!!

You are my hero, I love to learn languages.
Thanks Joel!
Haha, indeed, the question particle in Polish is "czy". But as opposed to Quechua or Asian languages (e.g. Chinese "ma", Japanese "ka"), it is placed at the beginning of a sentence.
That's a really cool graphic you have in the beginning.
I just realized a similarity between turkish and quechua which is that if you translate this sentence into turkish it would be like "Quechua'yı konuşuyor musun?" runa simi = quechua, "-yı" = ta, rimanki = konuşuyor(sun) and chu = musun that makes it a question. However, I have to add "quechua'yı konuşuyorsun = you speak quechua" and quechua'yı konuşuyor musun? = do you speak quechua?" so this "-sun(second singular person suffix)" goes to the end and get together with "mu" and becomes "musun" to mean this question is asked to "second singular person" I dont know if this what happens in quechua but just wanted to say.
Yes you are completely right, such similarities can be found in many so called agglutinative language. I speak Turkish at about B2 and for reading maybe C1 and have a very poor knowledge of Japanese and noticed how even larger sentences have almost the same word order : e.g. the man who stands there is my teacher - ora-da dur-an adam ben-im ögretmen-im-dir and asoko ni tatta hito wa watasi no sensei desu are both more or las that-place-in stand-ing man (extra subject marker in Japanese) me-of teacher-my(ommitted in Japanese)-is . I guess in Quechua you can find similar parallels
The Lonely Planet phrasebook is cheap and actually really good.
It is! I used it in Cusco for the same kind of immersion this guy is doing, alongside learning from locals. Its immensely helpful
you know that reminds me of nahuatl. You should learn nahuatl, it is the most spoken indigenous language in mexico. it is also an aglutinate language
Good on you! I'd love to learn Quechua too.
Pusaq wataña pasarun, rimachkankiñachu runa simita?
that breaking it down into building blocks is extremely helpful thank you :) i will return again to my lonely planet quechua phrase book and quechua app again with that helpful basis :) x
How many weeks/months does it take to can easily speak it with everybody input the places where they speak it, and is it a difficult language?
I'll check it out, thanks.
By the way, I really love watching your videos. I truly think you're amazing!
1:21 I would need this kind of Quechua lessons with many sentences splitted up. Haha
Awesome. Someday, I want to go to Macchu Picchu and learn to speak quechuan.
Great to seem more content!
theyre similar with turkish
runa-simi-ta rima-nki-chu
türk-çe-yi konuşuyor-sun mu (we normally say "türkçe konuşuyor musun" but when using the suffixes like quechua does its also meaningful)
yeah probably its also similar with other altaic languages like mongolian korean japanese...
Ekliys Toküş Yes because those are all agglutinative languages. And about Korean and Japanese, we still don't have clear proof of them being altaic, but they definitely are agglutinative like all altaic languages but also for example tamil.
Agglutinative languages are one of the simpliest and most logical languages.
Where did you find your resources to learn Quechua?
Greedo in SW apparently speaks Quechua :P
Muchas gracias por escoger Quechua como una de tus muchas misiones. ;-)
Thanks Benny, this is great. Do you have any book or online resource recommendations for learning Quechua?
I had this project 10 years ago, so anything I'd recommend would be out of date! But I did use the Lonely Planet phrasebook and found it useful.
@@irishpolyglot thanks so much mate, I hadn’t thought of this. Best wishes for your upcoming travels.
This is too cool. Any idea what English would sound like with a Quechua accent?
+Ashley Marie Well, I don't know but some people say "if you speak runa-simi (name of the languague in quechua) you should be able to learn english faster.
maybe search for bolivian or peruvian english speakers with heavy accents. Even if they never learned it themselves, the quechua language in those countries influenced their spanish so much it gives it a diferent cadence and makes it sound a bit diferent to other spanish accents. You could compare their speaking with other latinos and see if you catch any difference
How would you rate your Quechua proficiency right now?

How do you say thankyou in Quechua
There is a rock band in Perú called UCHPA, that sings in quechua their original songs. Here is the link of one of their songs : th-cam.com/video/KoQJ0RnA2XY/w-d-xo.html
Such a beautiful language eh? Have you looked at Nahuatl yet? The "aztec" or Mexica language :)
Excellent..
Have you ever thought of going to Finland or learning Finnish, Benny? Finnish works a whooole lot like this.
i can see why incas choose quecha as the official lingua franca of the empire. It has all the ingredients of a language that is easy to learn pronunciation with clear syllables and easy rules.. Classic lingua franca language
Yes, Come to Peru..
Ppl teach you how speak quechua..
you'll have nice days !!!
or how irishpoyglot , you could live whith quechua native speakers
What did you use to learn Quechua, books? I very interested. Thanks.
Very impressive...ich think u can Master in a couple of months with u attitude
Sumaqmi kachun!
Are you able today to dominate the "click" sounds?
Ñacha, isqun watañam siqarirun
muy bien.
Kiu estas la plej bona lernolibro por kechua?
Quechua? Gotta tip my hat to you sir. Thumbs up.
Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu.
OMG the way they write sentences is so similar to Japanese its scary.
really explain me about that ¡¡¡
japanese sentences:
Subject - what it acts on - verb - question marker
tenedria It's called SOV order...
I know nothing about Quechua. Where can I start from?
In Finnish:
Runasimi-ta
Ketshu-aa
rima-nki-chu ?
Puhu-t-ko ?
It works much the same...🤔🙂
What Quechua app are you using?
Amazing
Hiram Bingham didn't discover Machu Pichu. Everyone in the area knew about it. Bingham just exposed it to the world.
did you know that in our country, speaking Quechua is a stigma of being backwards and underdeveloped, while in Paraguay, speaking Guarani is a sign of education and culture?
Now do one on Wayuunaiki/Guajiro :D But be careful if you decide to do that language because Venezuela is in a really bad situation right now. Even so, if you manage to make a video about Wayuu I would be so happy.
“Discovered” it was always there.

I think the more attention that is being payed to this language, the more likely it is gong to survive.
Quechua is the inca language ,and only 2 or 3 very ancient empire civilizations still have the same language today, but small variations of attempted concoring nations. Inca civilization language of Quechua is one of them
Some Quechua last name sound japanese, such as tenesaca.
If you liked Quechua you should come to Bolivia and learn Aymara
bolivia have the most quechua speakers of all south america
the most interesting part is that Quechua isn't written
fyi: it's Jabba the Hutt's language
I just came her bc my cousin know how to speak this and I don't and we're both from Peru 🇵🇪😝😝☺️
I hope my mini explanation helped!
Nahuatl is not dead. Millions of people still speak it today but it's dying because parents think that their children are being disadvantaged by being taught Nahuatl.
i wish I could speak my ancestral language
It seems like a fascinating language! You can still learn. It's never too late. It reminds me of the Greek language. Although I just found out Greek is a fusional language and Runasimi (Quechua) is an agglutinative language, I can still see similarities. How great it would be to speak the ancient language of the Incas!
yeah ok.but peru still the born place of the quechua language.and it is the official language of peru sooooo
That looks pretty much like Turkish.
what a beautiful language, I have a lot of admiration for native american cultures, the languages r usually do complex though, wow
hmm
kinda reminds me of japanese
So... Esperanto was really created by spiritual beings, muhahahahahhaha
His English is flawed. Not gonna trust his other languages lol.
+Nico Burgio Nah, he just speaks it in an Irish accent. He's clearly a native speaker.
It's called a dialect. It's only wrong if a native speaker cannot understand the intent.
False. Neither ignorance nor lack of education qualify as dialect. Also, you're second sentence is nonsensical. How is maked sense dat wut dun do be said by a loser you? Clearly you understood that sentence. You said it's only wrong if not understood... +1 GJ on knowing anything at all.
+Nico Burgio He speaks wholly intelligible and correct Irish English.
+Nico Burgio :D "YOU'RE" second sentence?..... You shouldn't criticise someone elses english whe you don't even dominate the simplest rules.....
Nahuatl is a dead language I think, only 3 people speak it, inca culture still lives on
pretty useless
