Santa Maria Atzompa benefits from Ollin Tlahtoalli´s Free English Lessons Program
32 artisans from the Oaxacan community of Santa Maria Atzompa received six weeks of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) lessons during the months of October and November 2006.
Students learnt how to introduce themselves, describe their clay work and handle numbers. By having basic English knowledge on selling and describing their art, people from the communities have a better chance to directly sell their products to international visitors.

La familia lingüística otomangue es la más diversa en México en cuanto a la tipología de las lenguas y su clasificación histórica. Pero también es la familia más extensa en términos de número de hablantes—que probablemente sobrepasa un millón—y en su amplia distribución. Las lenguas otomangues se hablan desde San Luis Potosí en el norte hasta Oaxaca en el sur. Antiguamente se hablaban también desde Chiapas hasta Costa Rica. La mayor concentración de las lenguas otomangues se halla en el estado de Oaxaca, donde también se hablan varias otras lenguas indígenas no otomangues, como el chontal, huave, mixe, zoque y náhuatl.
