Subject: Molina available in US for purchase
Message-ID: <TUE.1.NOV.2005.180105.0800.NAHUATL@LISTS.UMN.EDU>

The Dictionary by Alonso de Molina reprinted by Editorial Porrua 2004  
is now available for purchase in the US through the Borderlands  
Bookstore in San Antonio TX.
This edition is identical to the 1970 reprint except that it is  
printed on slightly heavier stock, with a stronger binding and a  
colorful dust jacket.

http://www.borderlandsbooks.com/

The cost is $40.00 plus $3.00 shipping within the US.

This is more expensive than ordering directly form the Editorial  
Porrua web-site, which comes out to about $35.00 or so including  
shipping, but may be an alternative to some persons not wanting to  
deal with the Editorial Porrua website, giving out credit card  
information or International shipping.

Best Wishes,

Walter O. Koenig

Thank you Walter for the info.  I ordered 6 copies for myself and my students at SDSU from Porrua in August, and I was pleasantly surprised at the promptness of the delivery.  It took about four days from the time my credit card was charged to receive my order via DHL.  Their website is a bit persnickety, but it does work!

panolti,
It may be worthwhile to contact Gerardo Tristan Alvarado.  I don't know him--but I know of him.  Here's an email contact and brief bio that I got online:

Instructors of Spanish
Gerardo Tristan Alvarado
gera at ou.edu
http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/L/A-Robert.R.Lauer-1/SPANISHSECTION.html

Gerardo Tristan Alvarado is Nahuatl (Aztec) Indian and considers himself to be a part of the Nahuatl diaspora. He was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and has participated with a folkloric dance group in Monterrey for three years, performing mainly Mexican Traditional dances. Also, he has presented dance improvisation on several occasions in downtown Mexico City with a local dance group. He has also taught Latin dance rhythms (Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and others) in Europe (Denmark and Germany) between 1996 and 1997. He has participated in two shows in Canada, the first one at the University of Lethbridge in 2001.  At this show, Gerardo performed a traditional Javanese dance mixed with Buddhist meditative practices, and a contemporary dance piece that incorporated improvisational dance and electronically generated music.  The second show was for Lathbridge�s International Dance Day in April of 2002. There he performed a longer version of the same piece being performed for Red Rhythms, called "Transformations". He is currently living in Oklahoma and is a proud member of the New Tallahasse (Tallahasse Wvgogee) ceremonial grounds in Eastern Oklahoma.

Summer 2006 (June 26 to August 5)

Instructors: John Sullivan, Ph.D., Lic. Delfina de la Cruz, and 
indigenous teaching assistants.

General objectives
1. Develop students' oral comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, 
knowledge of language structure, as well as their cultural wisdom and 
sensibility, in order to facilitate their ability to communicate 
effectively, correctly and creatively in everyday situations.
2. Provide students with instruments and experiences which demonstrate 
the continuity between past and present Nahua culture, through the 
study of colonial and modern texts, conversation with native speakers, 
and a residency in a Nahua community.
3. Penetrate into the historical, economic, political, social and 
cultural aspects of Nahua civilization.
4. Prepare students to take university level humanities courses taught 
in Nahuatl alongside native speakers.
5. Provide students the opportunity to work on a research project in 
collaboration with one or more native speakers of Nahuatl.

Registration requirements:
1. Copy of birth certificate or CURP for Mexicans. Copy of passport for 
foreigners (student visa is not necessary).
2. two credential-size photographs

Academic credit: Academic credit for 140 hours is issued in the form of 
an official transcript through the Language Center of the Universidad 
Autónoma de Zacatecas.

Testing:
1. Beginning students' progress will be evaluated in three categories:
40%, three tests on Older Nahuatl (grammar and translation).
40%, three tests on Modern Nahuatl (oral comprehension, speech 
production, reading, writing, and grammar).
20%, research report.
2. Intermediate students' progress will be evaluated in three 
categories:
40%, three tests on Older Nahuatl (grammar, transcription, translation, 
and commentary).
40%, three tests on Modern Nahuatl (reading, writing, and grammar)
20%, research report.
3. Advanced students' will be evaluated based on their research paper 
written in Modern Nahuatl.

Calendar and activities: There will be six weeks of work from June 26 
to August 5, 2006, for a total of 140 hours. The academic activities 
will be distributed according to the following four components:

1. OLDER NAHUATL
Students will meet two hours per day, five days per week during five 
weeks at the Institute in Zacatecas, and one hour per day for one week 
in the indigenous community of Tepecxitla, Veracruz, in order to study 
Older Nahuatl.
a). Students at the beginner's level will work on chapters one through 
eight of James Lockhart's Nahuatl as Written, and will translate some 
elementary selections of colonial texts.
b). Students at the intermediate level will work on chapters nine 
through sixteen of James Lockhart's Nahuatl as Written, and will begin 
to transcribe, translate and comment colonial manuscripts.
c). Students at the advanced level will work exclusively on the 
transcription, analysis and commentary of colonial manuscripts.
Materials for the Older Nahuatl component: All students must have 
personal copies of the following texts:
1. Karttunen, Francis. 1983. An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl. Texas 
Linguistics Series. Austin: University of Texas Press.
2. Lockhart, James. 2001. Nahuatl as Written. Lessons in Older Written 
Nahuatl, with Copious Examples and Texts. Stanford: Stanford University 
Press.
3. Molina, Alonso de. 1977(1555-1571). Vocabulario en lengua castellana 
y mexicana y mexicana y castellana.  Colección “Biblioteca Porrúa” 44.  
México: Porrúa.
In addition, all students will receive, free of charge, exercise 
manuals, grammar charts and vocabulary lists, as well as photocopies 
and digitalized images of the manuscripts which will be studied.

2. MODERN NAHUATL
Students will meet two hours per day, five days per week during the six 
weeks of the course, in order to study Modern Nahuatl with a 
native-speaking professor.
Beginning level:
The first two weeks will entail an immersion experience, in which 
students will learn to converse in Nahuatl without the use of 
translations or grammar. This component is based on the early 
methodology of linguists Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell, and will 
conclude with a listening comprehension and oral production test.
During a second two-week phase, students will continue with the 
previous conversation activities. In addition, they will be introduced 
to the writing system and the three basic grammatical structures: the 
noun, verb, and relational phrases. The grammar studies will be based 
on a series of charts and written exercises developed by the 
professors. This stage will conclude with a conversation exam and a 
written exam on the writing system and the grammar.
During the final two-week period, students will begin to read Modern 
Nahuatl texts, emphasizing comprehension. A basic bilingual vocabulary 
prepared by the professors will be used, and the course will end with a 
reading comprehension test.
Intermediate level:
Durante the six weeks of the course, students will read, analyze and 
comment, both orally and in writing, diverse Modern Nahuatl texts. In 
addition, they will study some complex linguístic structures.


Advanced level:
	Students will research, en collaboration with the Institute's 
professors, a topic of Nahua culture, basing their work on older 
written sources, or on modern sources, be they oral or written. They 
will write a paper in modern Nahuatl on this topic.

3. INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH IN COLLABORATION WITH NATIVE SPEAKERS
Each student will meet with a native speaker one hour per day during 
the five weeks in Zacatecas, in order to work on an individual research 
project dealing with some aspect of nahua language or culture. For this 
reason, and before being admitted to the program, each student will 
need to submit a proposal of the project they would like to work on. 
The personnel at IDIEZ will advise prospective students on this process 
before course registration. Students may propose individual or group 
research projects, including thesis and dissertation research, or they 
may participate in any of the projects in which IDIEZ is currently 
involved. For example, we are preparing the first monolingual 
dictionary of the Nahuatl language. All students will prepare and turn 
in a research report at the end of the course.

4. RESIDENCY IN THE HUASTECA REGION
On Saturday, July 29, we will travel to Tepecxitla, Veracruz where we 
will remain until August 5. Each student will live with a Nahua family 
and participate in daily activities, including the preparation and 
execution of the Chicomexochitl ceremony. We will also continue with 
formal instruction in conversation, reading and writing in Modern 
Nahuatl, and translation of older texts.


Cost: The cost of the program is:
1. US$2250 for tuition.
2. US$900-1100 for transportation, room and board for six weeks. The 
difference depends on the room and board options during the five-week 
stay in Zacatecas. These include an individual or shared room with a 
family or in a hostal, and an individual room in a rented house shared 
with other students.
3. Not included are the Lockhart, Molina, and Karttunen texts, and the 
round trip between your point of origin and Zacatecas.
4. FLAS. Graduate students at U.S. universities may obtain FLAS funding 
for this course through their home academic institution.

fotocopias e imágenes digitalizadas de los manuscritos que vamos a 
estudiar.

2. NAHUATL MODERNO
Los alumnos se reunirán dos horas por día, cinco días por semana 
durante las seis semanas del curso, para estudiar el náhuatl moderno 
con un profesor nativohablante.
Nivel principiante:
Las primeras dos semanas constituirán una etapa de inmersión, en la 
cual los alumnos aprenderán a conversar en náhuatl sin el auxilio de la 
traducción ni la gramática. Dicho componente está basado 
metodológicamente en el trabajo temprano de los lingüistas Stephen 
Krashen y Tracy Terrell. Esta fase terminará con un examen de 
comprensión auditiva y producción oral.
En una segunda etapa de dos semanas, los estudiantes continuarán con 
las actividades de conversación. Además, se introducirá el sistema de 
escritura y las tres estructuras gramáticales básicas: las frases 
nominales, verbales y relacionales. Los estudios gramaticales se 
basarán en una serie de esquemas y ejercicios escritos desarollados por 
los profesores. Dicha fase terminará con un examen oral de conversación 
y un examen escrito sobre el sistema de escritura y la gramática.
Durante la etapa final de dos semanas, los alumnos empezarán a leer 
textos en náhuatl moderno, enfatizando su comprensión. Se utilizará un 
vocabulario bilingüe básico preparado por los profesores. Se finalizará 
el curso con un examen escrito de comprensión de lectura.

Nivel intermedio:
	Durante las seis semanas del curso, los alumnos leerán, analizarán y 
comentarán, tanto oralmente como por escrito, diversos textos en 
náhuatl moderno. Asimismo, estudiarán algunas estructuras lingüísticas 
complejas.
Nivel avanzado:
	El alumno investigará, en colaboración con los profesores del 
Instituto, algún tema de la cultura nahua, basándose en fuentes 
escritas antiguas, o bien, en fuentes escritas u orales modernas. 
Elaborará un trabajo escrito en lengua náhuatl sobre dicho tema.

3. INVESTIGACION INDIVIDUAL EN COLABORACION CON NATIVOHABLANTES
Cada estudiante se reunirá con un nativohablante una hora por día 
durante las cinco semanas en Zacatecas para trabajar algún proyecto de 
investigación relacionado con la lengua o la cultura nahua. Para esto, 
será necesario que el alumno proponga, antes de ser aceptado al 
programa, un proyecto que desee implementar para dicho componente. El 
personal del IDIEZ proporcionará asesoría al respecto. Los alumnos 
pueden proponer proyectos de investigación individuales o colectivos, 
incluyendo investigación para tesis o disertación, o pueden integrarse 
a alguno de los proyectos que realiza IDIEZ actualmente. Por ejemplo, 
estamos preparando el primer diccionario monolingüe del náhuatl. Todos 
los estudiantes elaborarán y entregarán un reporte de su investigación 
al finalizar el curso.

4. ESTANCIA EN LA HUASTECA
El sábado 29 de julio nos trasladaremos a Tepecxitla, Veracruz donde 
permaneceremos hasta el 5 de agosto. Cada estudiante vivirá con una 
familia nahua, y participará en sus actividades diarias, incluyendo la 
preparación y ejecución de la ceremonia, Chicomexochitl. Asímismo, 
continuaremos con la instrucción formal en conversación, lectura y 
escritura del náhuatl moderno, y traducción de textos antiguos.

Costo: El costo del programa es:
1. US$2250 para colegiatura.
2. US$900-1100 para transportación, comida y hospedaje por seis 
semanas. La diferencia depende de las opciones de hospedaje durante la 
estancia de cinco semanas en Zacatecas. Estas incluyen cuarto 
individual o compartido con una familia o en un hostal, y cuarto 
individual en una casa rentada compartida con otros alumnos.
3. No están incluidos los textos de Lockhart, Molina, y Karttunen y el 
viaje redondo entre su punto de origen y Zacatecas.
4. FLAS. Estudiantes de posgrado en universidades norteamericanas 
pueden conseguir financiamiento de FLAS para este programa a través de 
su institución educativa de origen.

Message-ID: <TUE.1.NOV.2005.180105.0800.NAHUATL@LISTS.UMN.EDU>

The Dictionary by Alonso de Molina reprinted by Editorial Porrua 2004  
is now available for purchase in the US through the Borderlands  
Bookstore in San Antonio TX.
This edition is identical to the 1970 reprint except that it is  
printed on slightly heavier stock, with a stronger binding and a  
colorful dust jacket.

http://www.borderlandsbooks.com/

The cost is $40.00 plus $3.00 shipping within the US.

This is more expensive than ordering directly form the Editorial  
Porrua web-site, which comes out to about $35.00 or so including  
shipping, but may be an alternative to some persons not wanting to  
deal with the Editorial Porrua website, giving out credit card  
information or International shipping.

Best Wishes,

Thank you Walter for the info.  I ordered 6 copies for myself and my students at SDSU from Porrua in August, and I was pleasantly surprised at the promptness of the delivery.  It took about four days from the time my credit card was charged to receive my order via DHL.  Their website is a bit persnickety, but it does work!

panolti,
It may be worthwhile to contact Gerardo Tristan Alvarado.  I don't know him--but I know of him.  Here's an email contact and brief bio that I got online:

Instructors of Spanish
Gerardo Tristan Alvarado
gera at ou.edu
http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/L/A-Robert.R.Lauer-1/SPANISHSECTION.html

Gerardo Tristan Alvarado is Nahuatl (Aztec) Indian and considers himself to be a part of the Nahuatl diaspora. He was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and has participated with a folkloric dance group in Monterrey for three years, performing mainly Mexican Traditional dances. Also, he has presented dance improvisation on several occasions in downtown Mexico City with a local dance group. He has also taught Latin dance rhythms (Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and others) in Europe (Denmark and Germany) between 1996 and 1997. He has participated in two shows in Canada, the first one at the University of Lethbridge in 2001.  At this show, Gerardo performed a traditional Javanese dance mixed with Buddhist meditative practices, and a contemporary dance piece that incorporated improvisational dance and electronically generated music.  The second show was for Lathbridge?s International Dance Day in April of 2002. There he performed a longer version of the same piece being performed for Red Rhythms, called "Transformations". He is currently living in Oklahoma and is a proud member of the New Tallahasse (Tallahasse Wvgogee) ceremonial grounds in Eastern Oklahoma.

Message-ID: <FRI.4.NOV.2005.145801.0600.NAHUATL@LISTS.UMN.EDU>

List members:
	Here is information (first the English version and second, the Spanish 
version) regarding the Intensive Course in Older and Modern Nahuatl we 
will be offering this Summer in Zacatecas and Tepecxitla. The two 
documents can be downloaded in .pdf at our website (www.idiez.org.mx)
John

Macehualli Educational Research,
the Zacatecas Institute for Teaching and Research in Ethnology, and the
Language Center of the Universidad Aut?noma de Zacatecas

Intensive course in Older and Modern Nahuatl for non-native speakers
Summer 2006 (June 26 to August 5)

Instructors: John Sullivan, Ph.D., Lic. Delfina de la Cruz, and 
indigenous teaching assistants.

General objectives
1. Develop students' oral comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, 
knowledge of language structure, as well as their cultural wisdom and 
sensibility, in order to facilitate their ability to communicate 
effectively, correctly and creatively in everyday situations.
2. Provide students with instruments and experiences which demonstrate 
the continuity between past and present Nahua culture, through the 
study of colonial and modern texts, conversation with native speakers, 
and a residency in a Nahua community.
3. Penetrate into the historical, economic, political, social and 
cultural aspects of Nahua civilization.
4. Prepare students to take university level humanities courses taught 
in Nahuatl alongside native speakers.
5. Provide students the opportunity to work on a research project in 
collaboration with one or more native speakers of Nahuatl.

Registration requirements:
1. Copy of birth certificate or CURP for Mexicans. Copy of passport for 
foreigners (student visa is not necessary).
2. two credential-size photographs

Academic credit: Academic credit for 140 hours is issued in the form of 
an official transcript through the Language Center of the Universidad 
Aut?noma de Zacatecas.

Testing:
1. Beginning students' progress will be evaluated in three categories:
40%, three tests on Older Nahuatl (grammar and translation).
40%, three tests on Modern Nahuatl (oral comprehension, speech 
production, reading, writing, and grammar).
20%, research report.
2. Intermediate students' progress will be evaluated in three 
categories:
40%, three tests on Older Nahuatl (grammar, transcription, translation, 
and commentary).
40%, three tests on Modern Nahuatl (reading, writing, and grammar)
20%, research report.
3. Advanced students' will be evaluated based on their research paper 
written in Modern Nahuatl.

Calendar and activities: There will be six weeks of work from June 26 
to August 5, 2006, for a total of 140 hours. The academic activities 
will be distributed according to the following four components:

1. OLDER NAHUATL
Students will meet two hours per day, five days per week during five 
weeks at the Institute in Zacatecas, and one hour per day for one week 
in the indigenous community of Tepecxitla, Veracruz, in order to study 
Older Nahuatl.
a). Students at the beginner's level will work on chapters one through 
eight of James Lockhart's Nahuatl as Written, and will translate some 
elementary selections of colonial texts.
b). Students at the intermediate level will work on chapters nine 
through sixteen of James Lockhart's Nahuatl as Written, and will begin 
to transcribe, translate and comment colonial manuscripts.
c). Students at the advanced level will work exclusively on the 
transcription, analysis and commentary of colonial manuscripts.
Materials for the Older Nahuatl component: All students must have 
personal copies of the following texts:
1. Karttunen, Francis. 1983. An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl. Texas 
Linguistics Series. Austin: University of Texas Press.
2. Lockhart, James. 2001. Nahuatl as Written. Lessons in Older Written 
Nahuatl, with Copious Examples and Texts. Stanford: Stanford University 
Press.
3. Molina, Alonso de. 1977(1555-1571). Vocabulario en lengua castellana 
y mexicana y mexicana y castellana.  Colecci?n ?Biblioteca Porr?a? 44.  
M?xico: Porr?a.
In addition, all students will receive, free of charge, exercise 
manuals, grammar charts and vocabulary lists, as well as photocopies 
and digitalized images of the manuscripts which will be studied.

2. MODERN NAHUATL
Students will meet two hours per day, five days per week during the six 
weeks of the course, in order to study Modern Nahuatl with a 
native-speaking professor.
Beginning level:
The first two weeks will entail an immersion experience, in which 
students will learn to converse in Nahuatl without the use of 
translations or grammar. This component is based on the early 
methodology of linguists Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell, and will 
conclude with a listening comprehension and oral production test.
During a second two-week phase, students will continue with the 
previous conversation activities. In addition, they will be introduced 
to the writing system and the three basic grammatical structures: the 
noun, verb, and relational phrases. The grammar studies will be based 
on a series of charts and written exercises developed by the 
professors. This stage will conclude with a conversation exam and a 
written exam on the writing system and the grammar.
During the final two-week period, students will begin to read Modern 
Nahuatl texts, emphasizing comprehension. A basic bilingual vocabulary 
prepared by the professors will be used, and the course will end with a 
reading comprehension test.
Intermediate level:
Durante the six weeks of the course, students will read, analyze and 
comment, both orally and in writing, diverse Modern Nahuatl texts. In 
addition, they will study some complex lingu?stic structures.


Advanced level:
	Students will research, en collaboration with the Institute's 
professors, a topic of Nahua culture, basing their work on older 
written sources, or on modern sources, be they oral or written. They 
will write a paper in modern Nahuatl on this topic.

3. INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH IN COLLABORATION WITH NATIVE SPEAKERS
Each student will meet with a native speaker one hour per day during 
the five weeks in Zacatecas, in order to work on an individual research 
project dealing with some aspect of nahua language or culture. For this 
reason, and before being admitted to the program, each student will 
need to submit a proposal of the project they would like to work on. 
The personnel at IDIEZ will advise prospective students on this process 
before course registration. Students may propose individual or group 
research projects, including thesis and dissertation research, or they 
may participate in any of the projects in which IDIEZ is currently 
involved. For example, we are preparing the first monolingual 
dictionary of the Nahuatl language. All students will prepare and turn

1. NAHUATL ANTIGUO
Los alumnos se reunir?n dos horas por d?a, cinco d?as por semana 
durante cinco semanas en las instalaciones del IDIEZ en Zacatecas, y 
otra hora diariamente durante una semana en la comunidad ind?gena de 
Tepecxitla, Veracruz, para estudiar el n?huatl antiguo.

lecciones de Nahuatl as Written de James Lockhart, y traducir?n algunas 
selecciones sencillas de textos coloniales.
b) Alumnos en el nivel intermedio estudiar?n las lecciones nueve a 
dieciseis del texto Nahuatl as Written de James Lockhart, y se 
iniciar?n en la paleograf?a, traducci?n y comentario de manuscritos 
coloniales.
c). Alumnos en el nivel avanzado se dedicar?n exclusivamente a 
paleografiar, analizar y comentar manuscritos coloniales.
Materiales para el curso de n?huatl antiguo: Todos los alumnos deber?n

1. Karttunen, Francis. 1983. An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl. Texas 
Linguistics Series. Austin: University of Texas Press.

Adem?s, todos los estudiantes recibir?n, de manera gratuita, manuales 
de ejercicios, esquemas gramaticales y listas de vocabulario, as? como 
fotocopias e im?genes digitalizadas de los manuscritos que vamos a 
estudiar.

2. NAHUATL MODERNO
Los alumnos se reunir?n dos horas por d?a, cinco d?as por semana 
durante las seis semanas del curso, para estudiar el n?huatl moderno 
con un profesor nativohablante.
Nivel principiante:
Las primeras dos semanas constituir?n una etapa de inmersi?n, en la 
cual los alumnos aprender?n a conversar en n?huatl sin el auxilio de la 
traducci?n ni la gram?tica. Dicho componente est? basado 
metodol?gicamente en el trabajo temprano de los ling?istas Stephen 
Krashen y Tracy Terrell. Esta fase terminar? con un examen de 
comprensi?n auditiva y producci?n oral.
En una segunda etapa de dos semanas, los estudiantes continuar?n con 
las actividades de conversaci?n. Adem?s, se introducir? el sistema de 
escritura y las tres estructuras gram?ticales b?sicas: las frases 
nominales, verbales y relacionales. Los estudios gramaticales se 
basar?n en una serie de esquemas y ejercicios escritos desarollados por 
los profesores. Dicha fase terminar? con un examen oral de conversaci?n 
y un examen escrito sobre el sistema de escritura y la gram?tica.
Durante la etapa final de dos semanas, los alumnos empezar?n a leer 
textos en n?huatl moderno, enfatizando su comprensi?n. Se utilizar? un 
vocabulario biling?e b?sico preparado por los profesores. Se finalizar? 
el curso con un examen escrito de comprensi?n de lectura.

Nivel intermedio:
	Durante las seis semanas del curso, los alumnos leer?n, analizar?n y 
comentar?n, tanto oralmente como por escrito, diversos textos en 
n?huatl moderno. Asimismo, estudiar?n algunas estructuras ling??sticas 
complejas.
Nivel avanzado:
	El alumno investigar?, en colaboraci?n con los profesores del 
Instituto, alg?n tema de la cultura nahua, bas?ndose en fuentes 
escritas antiguas, o bien, en fuentes escritas u orales modernas. 
Elaborar? un trabajo escrito en lengua n?huatl sobre dicho tema.

3. INVESTIGACION INDIVIDUAL EN COLABORACION CON NATIVOHABLANTES
Cada estudiante se reunir? con un nativohablante una hora por d?a 
durante las cinco semanas en Zacatecas para trabajar alg?n proyecto de 
investigaci?n relacionado con la lengua o la cultura nahua. Para esto, 
ser? necesario que el alumno proponga, antes de ser aceptado al 
programa, un proyecto que desee implementar para dicho componente. El 
personal del IDIEZ proporcionar? asesor?a al respecto. Los alumnos 
pueden proponer proyectos de investigaci?n individuales o colectivos, 
incluyendo investigaci?n para tesis o disertaci?n, o pueden integrarse 
a alguno de los proyectos que realiza IDIEZ actualmente. Por ejemplo, 
estamos preparando el primer diccionario monoling?e del n?huatl. Todos 
los estudiantes elaborar?n y entregar?n un reporte de su investigaci?n 
al finalizar el curso.

4. ESTANCIA EN LA HUASTECA
El s?bado 29 de julio nos trasladaremos a Tepecxitla, Veracruz donde 
permaneceremos hasta el 5 de agosto. Cada estudiante vivir? con una 
familia nahua, y participar? en sus actividades diarias, incluyendo la 
preparaci?n y ejecuci?n de la ceremonia, Chicomexochitl. As?mismo, 
continuaremos con la instrucci?n formal en conversaci?n, lectura y 
escritura del n?huatl moderno, y traducci?n de textos antiguos.

Costo: El costo del programa es:
1. US$2250 para colegiatura.
2. US$900-1100 para transportaci?n, comida y hospedaje por seis 
semanas. La diferencia depende de las opciones de hospedaje durante la 
estancia de cinco semanas en Zacatecas. Estas incluyen cuarto 
individual o compartido con una familia o en un hostal, y cuarto 
individual en una casa rentada compartida con otros alumnos.
3. No est?n incluidos los textos de Lockhart, Molina, y Karttunen y el 
viaje redondo entre su punto de origen y Zacatecas.
4. FLAS. Estudiantes de posgrado en universidades norteamericanas 
pueden conseguir financiamiento de FLAS para este programa a trav?s de 
su instituci?n educativa de origen.
