Description

In this course, Tibetan language students will begin to broaden their study of the language. They will learn to speak and understand more complex colloquial sentences. They will learn basic honorifics that will enable them to speak with a broader range of people. They will begin to engage with a wider range of literary genres and spend time analysing these texts as well as reading them. This study will give them more confidence to engage with secular and religious texts. As part of this engagement, they will learn poetic sayings that will improve their colloquial Tibetan. They will also learn about several famous folk tales and how to tell jokes!

 

The students will continue to work through interactive lessons specifically designed for them and they will continue to have access to online tutorials with a renowned Tibetan author.
