Alejandro Galindo immigrated to the United States from Peru in 1984 and got a job as a storeroom clerk at the former Park Plaza Hotel on Temple Street. After it closed, he worked at a factory. Then, five years ago, his career took an unlikely twist: He was hired to teach at Yale. Galindo is a language partner at the Directed Independent Language Study Program. In scheduled sessions twice a week, he helps Yale undergraduates communicate in Quechua, an indigenous South American language. DILS is a not-for-credit program for undergraduate, graduate and professional students who are interested in studying a language not offered in Yale’s program.
