Welcome to the Advanced Live Courses

Enter the world of dharma vocabulary and refined grammar, opening space for thoughtful, meaningful conversations.

This is Where You Take Your Tibetan to the Next Level

At this stage, you'll move beyond everyday conversation into Buddhist themes, dharma vocabulary, and refined grammar.

You'll read, listen, and speak about topics such as the life of the Buddha, the Three Turnings of the Wheel, meditation, and the qualities of the Three Jewels.

The focus is on connecting deeply with the language while engaging with the cultural and spiritual heart of Tibet.

Choose Your Advanced Course

The Advanced level is made up of two courses: Advanced 301 and Advanced 302. Together, they cover The Heart of Tibetan Language, Volume 3 and open the door to a unique blend of dharma vocabulary and colloquial language.

Advanced 301

Lower Advanced Course

Begins with a review of key Intermediate structures, then introduces new grammar tools such as temporal connectives, additional modal verbs, and nominalizers. Lessons move into Buddhist themes, including the spread of Buddhism, the biography of the Buddha, and teachings on refuge. You'll start to use Tibetan almost exclusively in class.
