Ottakee Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 We are hosting boys (ages 10 and 11) whose primary language is Mam.......a Myan based language from Guatemala (as best we can figure out). Anyway, my prowess with my 10-12 Spanish phrases is not helping any and they speak no English either. We are doing a lot of hand gestures and nodding right now.

idnib Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 No, but I did find this on reddit, which has some info including a link to a Mam dictionary in PDF that's not working, so don't bother with it. I found a link to another dictionary and some helpful phrases. This reminds me of the time we were visiting a country where we spoke none of the language and we needed a steam iron. We were making ironing motions in the store, which was funny enough, but miming the big clouds of hot steam was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
