Important Note

These resources are supplements. They're clear and creative, but they don't replace live conversation or community. Tibetan is best learned together — we encourage you to join a course, a small study group, work with a tutor, etc.

Who It's For

These resources are ideal for students who have already studied the Beginner level and want to continue building their skills independently.
