Event Description
Students in this introductory workshop will receive their first exposure to the Nahuatl language, one of the most widespread Indigenous languages in Mexico. This variety of Nahuatl is from Chicontepec, a municipality in the Huasteca region of northern Veracruz. Students will practice situations such as how to introduce themselves, and several expressions of farewells.
