Learning the Tibetan language gives one access to Tibetan literature which includes thousands of translations of Sanskrit texts from India – many of them lost in their original language – and twelve centuries of writings by Tibetan masters.

In this Lower Intermediate Class students will expand their Tibetan vocabulary and their reading and writing practice. During this class students will be reading Tibetan Children's Story Books, and developing their grammer.
