Hello, everyone. :)
I'm interested in learning Mayan (the classical variety, that is to say). I have two questions relating to this:
1. Does anyone know of any Mayan language resources? Or perhaps an institute/language school (non-collegiate, though) that teaches Mayan?
2. Does anyone know how one might acquire some Mayan texts in the original, hieroglyphic script?
Thank you very much!

Thanks.
I was kind of hoping for more of an actual book that had more detail? Definitely a great intro read tho!

In Mexico and Guatemala I saw some (Spanish based) textbooks for modern Mayan languages (Tzeltal, Tojolabal, etc).
For Classic Maya, I'd suggest trying Amazon:
- How to Read Maya Hieroglyphs, by John Montgomery
- Reading the Maya Glyphs, by Michael D. Coe and Mark Van Stone
