I am learning the main native language of my country: Mapudungun. It is very interesting to understand the toponimics and lots of things in native language I had no idea. In particular, I like the worldview that this native language gives me: a focus in mother Nature. I even have a ringtone in that language. A song called "We Kuyen" (New moon or new month), which speaks of a ritual that is pratised on New Moon. I found it beautiful, now that I understand what it mean.
