According to the latest report of the regional educational situation (OREALC / UNESCO, 2013), the problems of inequity, poor quality and poor performance of school systems continue to affect more strongly to people living and working in rural areas.Currently in Mexico there are 68 indigenous people, whose communities have cultural traits, own native languages and forms of organization; there are 25 indigenous regions identified in 20 states of the country. According to data from INEGI, in Mexico there are 85 languages including Tének, among which there are 161,120 speakers of this language. This language, based on the statistical comparison of different census, shows that is decreasing in the number of speakers (INEGI, 2010).The main reason behind Nik'adh Dhuche' is that most Tének speakers do not read or write in the language, but have an interest in learning, both grammar and phonetics. The initial proposal is in order to preserve this language, through learning of it using interactive online tools that allow learning the alphabet using games and activities in which the user will work in a dynamic and fun way, no matter the location, as it can be accessed from any device with Internet connection. The development of projects such as this allows the use, learning and preservation of a language while maintaining a greater presence on the Internet. This project is funded by the program Educational Equity and Inclusion 2015
