In reply to Mike Bosio a.k.a. Miguel.

Because our site is 99% indigenous (we're the other 1%), we got PC to give us an allowance to contract a Q'anjob'al teacher for up to 160 hours. The hardest part was finding someone who was not only bilingual, but could also WRITE in Q'anjob'al. We're about 100 hours into it, and we do about 6 to 8 hours a week. The linguistic similarities thing applies to Q'anjob'al, too, and Acateco (a few valleys over) is supposed to be similar enough to understand, as is Chuj to a lesser degree (next valley over).
