It will continue to provide students with a solid linguistic and cultural foundation while working with Yucatan-based instructors and teaching assistants in class and in some group practice sessions. Students in each of the three levels (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) will engage in a combination of classroom activities, lessons, virtual excursions, and lectures with Yucatec Maya scholars.
