How to read tibetan (beginners) ~ Tibetan Language course (intermediate) back to calendar back to this term How To Read Tibetan (for beginners) Mondays 6.00pm - 7.30pm From the 1st September until the 8th of December suggested donation £5 per class or £65 for 15 weeks ( £10 discount) Tibetan is a complex but wonderful language. As a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner it is useful to know. Many words have crept into our language: Rinpoche, Gelug, gompa, Tulku, lama, Dewachen… It is nice to know what these terms and many others actually mean. Every language always conveys within it the way people think, feel, and see the world. This course is aimed at complete beginners. We will learn to read the Tibetan U-chen script based on scriptural ("classical") Tibetan. The vocabulary covered will relate to Buddhist terminology. Based on past experience, this class will be enjoyable and fun - but also hard work. Please come prepared to attend every week and to invest a substantial amount of time into doing homework in-between classes. It's worth it! This class is limited to 12 places to enable everyone to practice what has been studied so please commit to the whole course. This is a fundraising initiative: 70% of the proceeds go the Dolma Education Fund, Geshe Tashi's charity for the education of Tibetan children. For more details, please see the Dolma Education Fund leaflet at reception. The other 30% go to Jamyang Buddhist Centre. About the teacher: Kristina has been studying Tibetan on and off in London, Sera monastery in South India and at the Shedra in Kathmandu, Nepal over the last ten years. She teaches German language to adults as her full-time job. For more information and to book your place please contact the teacher directly on chodronkristina@gmail.com or 077 76 133 531. back to top ^
