| In 2009 Tsepak Rigzin will teach two Tibetan language classes: Basic Tibetan and Conversational Tibetan. Both classes will be taught in eight sessions. |
| In the Basic Tibetan class students will be introduced to the
Tibetan alphabet, vowels, prefixes, suffixes, superscript, subjoined letters and the fundamental rules of pronunciation and reading based on standard U-Chen calligraphy. The main objective of this class will be to develop reading skills in Tibetan. Handouts will be provided. No prior instruction required. Suggested reference book: Modern
Tibetan Language Vol I by Losang Thonden. |
| The Conversational Tibetan class will
prepare students to converse in Tibetan for use in day to day life especially while traveling. Proper formation of word order, syntax and verbal usage will be creatively presented. No prior instruction required. Suggested reference book: Tibetan: Lonely Planet Phrase Book by Samdup Tsering. |
