Course map

Your path to learning Nahuatl.

Start with sounds and greetings. Build sentences, learn how the language works, and grow the words you can use in everyday life. The entire course follows the same learning path.

CEFR-aligned task goals guide the course: supported everyday exchanges at A1, routine descriptions and reports at A2, and selected B1-oriented extensions for linked ideas. Each lesson identifies the task it rehearses. Word-only lessons build vocabulary; guided answers do not establish independent speaking proficiency. Itzli is not officially CEFR certified.
