- Maya Tz'utujil is the language of the Tz'utujil people in Guatemala. I got the chance to spend 4 weeks learning Tz'utujil at the local academy, but I also asked 30 or so people to teach me a word or phrase in their language. Hopefully you learned some Tz'utujil too!

💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 22 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), Portuguese (B2), French (B1/B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A1). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

It's so cool seeing you connect to the people und their way of living by talking to them in their indigenous language.
So beautiful to see you connecting with the locals Elysse!! they’re all so beautiful ❤
It was a beautiful experience!!
Que linda dedicación tienes para el aprendizaje de idiomas y culturas, eres increíble elysse💖
So nice how people are kind to you
Genial como se les ilumina el rostro hablando Tz' utujil 😊
😭 ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this. it’s a dream of mine to go to guate and learn more Ixil in a similar way that you did here :) I’m so glad that more people care about these beautiful mayan languages!
wonderful video! so beautiful to see you honour the local language and share this with all of us to learn at least a few words when we visit the indigenous lands....
You seem to like Guatemala! :)
I love it there!!
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing with us :)
Soy de Guatemala y me encantó ver este video 🥰 es bonito ver cuando los extranjeros hacen el esfuerzo por conectar con nuestra cultura. Técnicamente hay 22 idiomas mayas en Guatemala, todas provienen de la misma raiz (protomaya) y algunas de ellas se parecen en pronunciación pero también hay muchas diferencias en el vocabulario, incluso han adoptado palabras del español por falta de traducciones contemporáneas.
Lastimosamente, el sistema educativo y la mayoría de familias que viven en el área urbana han abandonado el uso de estos idiomas, y la falta de estandarización hacen difícil tener un consenso de la estructura de los idiomas locales. Por eso es incluso más sorprendente ver a personas extranjeras aprendiendo alguno de nuestros idiomas cuando la mayoría de los locales prefieren utilizar el idioma español.
Very cool! Thanks!
thanks for watching 😁
Thank you for sharing, it was interesting to watch this video !👍
Muy bonito video.
I love how you managed to get close w them thanks to your curiosity for their language! Also gotta say the guy at 00:21 is gorgeous 😳
Happy thanksgiving! / Happy day!
Happy holidays! :)
I really love your content! Not many people would travel to a different country just to learn a country’s local language. What you did in this video was very unique!
I would love to ask you more questions on how you reached a C2 level in Spanish. What’s a best way that I could contact you Elysse?
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video, it was a fun adventure ~
💚💚💚
I don't know that your gonna see this but can you please do a video about how to learn German for tourist or for basic communications I want to learn German and after I see your videos about learning languages and I'm inspired form these videos and I'm motivated to learn German. greetings from turkey
keep the comments related to the video plz 🙏 I have tons of videos on German.
you are so cool
no you!
Now we know Guatemala has indigenous languages .
technically speaking Spanish isn’t indigenous, but yes there is so much linguistic diversity in guate!! it’s so beautiful ❤️
@@elyssespeaks Who said Spanish was indigenous?
????
@@CrisOnTheInternet it’s never too late to edit your comment
many latam countries do
which local academy did you learn at?
Sounds almost like Arabic
Their native tongue reminds me of the way Philippino sounds
