It is said that Quechua indigenous people tend to learn foreign languages very quickly. My friends from France, Italy and the US that have visited Peru told me they were surprised to found English and Italian speakers in the rural towns of Cusco. I have seeing it also both in Peru and the US where Native inmigrants learn English very fast. Some say that Quechua language phonetics are similar to Anglo and Arab languages. Anyways, I think that we are just smart people.
I found this video the other day: this kid from Cusco, Peru names the US capital city and a list of US Presidents. Is cute, isn't it? But the sad part is that this boy does it to beg for money. Notice that is dark and this kid is selling candy in the streets, instead of being home getting ready for next day school.
