Nativos americanos: Los mayas
Posted by admin on March 6th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedLa cultura maya habitó en los actuales territorios del sur y sureste de México, Bélice, Honduras, Guatemala y El Salvador. Su historia en el tiempo es de apróximadamente 3000 años.
Los mayas vivían principalmente del cultivo de maíz y del comercio. Eran increibles arquitectos. Construían ciudades-estados con pirámides, palacios y templos religiosos. Vivían en casas familiares, y usaban vestidos bordados de plumas y joyas.
Las mujeres ocupaban un rol importante. Algunas hasta fueron gobernantes. Eran imprescindibles en la economía, ya que elaboraban piezas de cerámica para almacenar los granos.
Esta civilización era muy religiosa. Habían sacerdotes y adivinos encargados de hacer sacrificios humanos para honrar a los dioses.

Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
