Elvia Andia Grageda was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Since she wasn’t taught Quechua by her parents, she learned as a young child playing with her friends that only spoke Quechua. She holds a Bachelor’s in Applied Linguistics for Language Instruction and completed a Certificate course in the creation of texts in Quechua. The certificate has been her motivation to begin producing educational material for the teaching of the Quechua language. She has written the books “Juch’uy Chaki” Parts I, II, and III which have sold over 30,000 copies in Bolivian schools. Her books were published by Kipus editing company which also is in charge of selling the books. Various well-known Bolivian schools such as La Salle, Don Bosco, Urkupiña–to name a few–use this book as part of their material. Elvia Andia currently is writing Part IV of the Juch’uy Chaki book which will include audio in Quechua.
