Spanish 123 will focus on the study of Nauatl Language & Culture through a linguistic, literary, artistic, and historical approach. Living in Cholula, Puebla, constitutes a fundamental ingredient of this learning. Cholula and Puebla are Indeed places of intersection of two main components of Mexican civilization: pre-Hispanic and post-Hispanic. The study of Nauatl language –official language of the ancient Mexican-Aztec empire, and still spoken by 1.5 million people today— will allow students to comprehend cultural, historic, and linguistic intersections between both civilizations. We will include social practices of the Mexican community and its interactions with Nauatl language and Nauatl speakers.
