First words in Quechua
Imaynallan kashanki?, How are you doing?

Allianchu, Hello / How are you?
Formal greeting
Did you know? Quechua has a unique philosophical feature: time is conceived in reverse, the past ('ñawpa') is in front of you because you can see it, and the future ('qhipa') is behind because it is unknown. This worldview permeates the entire language. 'Pachamama' (Mother Earth) is the central concept of the Quechua cosmovision, not a distant deity but a living, nourishing presence. Quechua has also given dozens of words to Spanish and indirectly to English: condor, llama, puma, quinoa, cocaine, and chocolate (via Nahuatl) all come from Quechua or neighboring Andean languages.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Quechua

Quechua is agglutinative, you add suffixes to a root word to change meaning and grammatical function. There is no grammatical gender, no definite articles, and conjugation is regular. What surprises learners: the word order (SOV, subject-object-verb) and the logic of suffixes. With a native teacher who explains the logic, many learners find the grammar more intuitive than they feared.
Cusco Quechua (from Cusco, Peru) is the most widely taught and documented, it's the academic reference dialect, the one used in Peruvian school curricula and the closest to the classical Quechua of the Incas. If your goal is Bolivia, Bolivian Quechua (from Cochabamba) is preferable. The two are about 80% mutually intelligible. Most of our teachers come from Cusco and Peru.
Absolutely. In the regions of Cusco, Puno, Ayacucho and the Andes in general, many elderly people and rural communities speak more Quechua than Spanish. Even a few phrases of Quechua completely transform the welcome you receive. In Pisac, Chinchero or on Andean markets, speaking Quechua gives you access to a dimension of Peruvian culture that's totally inaccessible to the average tourist.
No, quite the opposite of what people often believe. Quechua is recognized as a co-official language in Peru (alongside Spanish) and Bolivia. Revitalization programs exist at the school level. In Peru, more than 3.7 million people speak it as a native language. The younger Andean generation is showing renewed interest in its linguistic roots. There's even rap and contemporary music in Quechua.
Yes, it's one of the main motivations of our learners. NGOs, cooperation programs, anthropology researchers and social workers learn Quechua to work with Andean communities in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Mastering Quechua is a decisive advantage for any development project in the Andes.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
