Thanks to Tlahtoltapazolli and 7000 Languages, you can now learn Nahuatl in Transparent Language Online for Libraries.<\/p>\n

Nahuatl is the language of the Aztecs, the 14th<\/sup> century Mexican empire you probably learned about in your high school history class. While the empire may have fallen to Spanish conquistadors in the 16th<\/sup> century, the language lived on. Today, more than 1.5 million people speak Nahuatl. Unfortunately, the language is at risk of extinction unless steps are taken to preserve it.<\/p>\n

Tlahtoltapazolli<\/a> is doing just that. The community organization in Los Angeles provides free Nahuatl classes to local English and Spanish speakers. According to John Garcia, the organization\u2019s director, there is more interest than available materials: \u201cGiven the history of this language, it has become popular in Mexican-American circles and many are interested in learning it here in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, there are very few resources out there, despite having around one million speakers.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Tlahtoltapazolli partnered with <\/strong>7000 Languages<\/a> to create an online Nahuatl course, to create interactive materials that can expand the language\u2019s reach well beyond Los Angeles.<\/strong> Nahuatl for English speakers is already available in Transparent Language Online for Libraries.<\/p>\n

English speakers interesting in Nahuatl can already access the Elementary Nahuatl course in Transparent Language Online. The 11-unit course covers the basics, from introducing yourself, using verbs, and asking questions.
