"Learn a new language, and you will gain a new soul" (anonymous)

A language is much more than a set of words and grammar structures. It is about a unique style of shaping the world and interacting with others. Whenever you speak in another language, or you hear somebody speaking yours, it is sometimes funny to face this challenge of translating sayings, mindsets, opinions with your own words. And it is also exciting when you achieve to feel a new culture inside yourself, just because you gained a different perspective of life through another language.

Peru's official language is Spanish, but it is certainly not the single one being spoken in the country. Among 33 other languages and dialects just in Peru, actually about 13 million in South America still speak the former Inka Empire's language. Last week I decided to move forward with this awesome puzzle of souls and I started learning it. This is something I was looking for since years, now I decided to take the challenge to create knowledge in Quechua.
