Episode description

This fourth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is focusing on celebrations. Inti Raymi was the most important celebration of the Incas. People came from every corner of the Incan empire to pledge their allegiance to the Sapa Inca and to honor Inti, the god of the sun. The Spanish occupation put an end to Inti Raymi, but 400 years later it was reborn. Inti Raymi today is a celebration of Incan history, language and culture.

This story is told in the both the present and past tenses. Repeated words and phrases include “sol” (sun),“incaico” (Incan), “momias” (mummies) and “próximo año” (next year). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
