This is a small list of different language learning tools collected by students of the class. Language is an important aspect of culture, however, many of the indigenous peoples sometimes struggle linguistically. The population who speak indigenous languages is few, so sometimes they are not able to communicate. The dominance of Spanish and the forced learning of it affected communities. We compiled links with access to language learning tools for indigenous languages to increase their visibility.
