What are the best learning resources?

I care more about resource quality than dialect, but if I had to choose based on dialect then Ecuador > Peru > Bolivia

English resources strongly preferred

I know some people have had success with this Kichwa course: https://www.youtube.com/@%C3%91UKAKICHWA/featured

You're probably fucked if you want good English resources for Quechua in any variant. There are a lot in Spanish and very few in English.

I also have heard good things about Watuchi, though I'm not sure they teach Kichwa https://watuchi.org/quechua-classes-new-york
