Proyecto Lingüístico Francisco Marroquín (PLFM)
The PLFM was founded in 1969. It opened with two purposes, which are still its focus today: (a) to teach the Spanish language, and (b) to teach, investigate, and preserve Mayan languages and culture. The oldest Spanish language school in Antigua, PLFM is also unique because it is non-profit, teaches Mayan languages as well as Spanish, and is run by native Mayan professionals. PLFM is affiliated with the Consejo Nacional de Educación Maya (CNEM), a national organization promoting Mayan education. It is authorized by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education and its Spanish school is licensed by INGUAT, the Guatemalan Tourist Institute.
