Exercises

Ex 1 : Quiz

edit

Go to the Quiz.

Ex 2 : Memory training

edit

Write out the Quechua words, section by section.

Have 2 columns, clearly separated, and write Quechua and English. Then cover up one column (eg. English) with paper and write the corresponding words on the paper. Then try it the other way round, cover up the Quechua, and write out the words using the English as cues. This will be a little bit more difficult.

Repeat all this after an interval, the more you do it the easier you will remember the words.

If you want to add words to this page, please make sure you put them into a sentence in Lesson 2 wherever you can.
