Description
Learning Practical Tibetan provides a comprehensive introduction to communicating with Tibetans in Asia and beyond. This accessible guide begins with a clear grammar system, allowing you to form your own sentences from the start. The book presents essential vocabulary, phrases, and dialogues for everyday situations, such as ordering food or shopping, as well as more formal interactions like speaking to monks or visiting a Tibetan doctor. The appendix offers helpful sections on numbers, dates, telling time, festivals, and an extensive vocabulary list. To aid pronunciation, mp3 files of Yanki Tshering reading Tibetan text are available for download at the publisher's website.
