appeal for help and encouragement!

[Ian Mursell]

Dear Colleagues,

I've been a passive member of this list for some time.  I hope now to seek
your interest and help with an educational service on Aztec culture based
here in London, UK.

Mexicolore is a specialist independent educational service on Mexico and the
Aztecs, established in London in 1980.  Our team have worked in over 1,000
schools, museums, art galleries, and other educational venues throughout
England, working with some 100,000 children.  We work closely with the
British Museum Education Service, the Museum of Mankind (BM Ethnography
Department) and most recently with the Royal Academy of Arts, in support of
their major exhibition on the Aztecs that ended a year ago.

I think it's safe to say that we are the leading providers of educational
services on the Aztecs in this country, and our website is a prime source of
information and links, not only for schools but for all those interested in
learning about Aztec civilization.

We have just uploaded a new 'Aztec Pronunciation' page on our site, to
enable enquirers - particularly children - to check the pronunciation of key
'Aztec' names and words that frequently feature in project work on the
Aztecs.

My main concern at this stage is simple verification!  I'm keen to correct
and improve any errors, to the best of my ability.  Please remember that
this resource is VERY introductory, and perfection is perhaps not needed!
However, we intend to add constantly to this page both in quantity and
quality, with plenty of background material on Náhuatl.

I would be hugely grateful if one or more of you, as experts, could cast a
beady eye/ear over the page and let me have your immediate comments,
suggestions, criticisms...

I'm not sure how I can access the correct sounds, assuming there are errors,
but I'm confident we could find a way to resolve this.

Many thanks in anticipation...

Best regards y muchos saludos desde Londres

Ian
