Introduction

Guatemala is a multilingual and pluricultural country particularly in the Western Highlands. Studies show that in the cities of Totonicapán, Quetzaltenango, Sololá, and others the population is mostly Mayan (60% - 97%). The Peace Agreement recognizes the diversity in Guatemala, and it starts a political process in order to defend the multilingual and multiethnic state. In other words, it requires the knowledge that these have, the Ladino or Mestizo and Mayan population, to aid the construction of diverse a country.

Unfortunately, there is rarely any learning books or guides that can facilitate the language learning especially to the Mayan population of these regions in Guatemala. This makes it almost impossible to teach and learn the Mayan languages, like the K’iche’ language. As a result, it can be frustrating to those who are genuinely eager to learn these languages to further develop a multilingual society.
