Woooow, I was sure I'd made a thread like this but apparently not. Quechua is awesome, you should all learn it.

Often people find Quechua is easier because unlike Spanish it has no irregular verbs, no irregular nouns, no irregular adjectives, no gender, and no adjective agreements ^_^
I've been doing LIGHT Quechua lessons
Some examples of what i've learned XD
* I eat / yo como - - Noqa mikhuni
* We talk / hablamos - - Parlancheq
* Blue/azul - - Anqas
* Here/aqui - - Kayllapi
