AIM OF THE REVIEW SESSIONS

The aim of these weekly Review Sessions is to solidify and practice the content of the Beginner Course (Tib. 101) in an organized and joyful way together with your old and new friends and classmates. The goal is to gain more clarity about the grammar topics and ease or fluency at using (some of) the vocabulary of Lessons 1-5 of our textbook བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ། Volume 1. Another goal is also to continue building healthy study habits, such as regular vocabulary and reading practice, etc. which are important for your continuous learning. 

REQUIREMENTS

Alumni of the Course Tib 101 (or past Beginner Courses) are qualified and invited to attend these classes as well as new students who are enrolled in Tib 102 and doing their review to catch up with the Course. It is important to come to each session prepared, having reviewed the respective Lesson so that not much time will be spent on explanation, but the main focus will be on practice. 

SLC

Whether or not you’d like to build new SLCs just for these two months is up to you and you’ll decide as a group on day one of the class.

IMPORTANT LOGISTICS

Class times are like before in Europe. 

(Please be careful if your country has not changed to Summertime - then the timing is an hour earlier - I think :-) Please calculate your local time before joining the class.

8 a.m. & 4 p.m. CEST

There are no particular assignments or homework for these sessions other than reviewing the Lesson and coming to class with relevant questions. (Once in a while you might be asked to prepare a little something, bring some pictures or prepare for a game, etc.)

The teacher for these Review Sessions is our native speaker colleague རྒན་ལྷག་པ་ཚེ་རིང་ལགས། 

COST

Simple version:

The cost of these Review Sessions is $30. It includes the live classes, access to the དཀར་པང་། and recordings of the live classes, assistance from རྒན་ལྷག་པ་ཚེ་རིང་ལགས། if you have questions which you cannot solve alone or with your friends from your SLC.

Ms. Giraffe version:

If you also would like to have a weekly tutor session during those 6 weeks, this is possible and the total cost then is $60 (Review sessions & tutor classes). If you choose to have tutor classes, we’ll get in touch with you towards the end of March so that you can fill in the form for the weekly availability. 

For logistic reasons of simplicity we do not offer any monastic discount for the Review Sessions this time. Thank you very much for your understanding about this and your kind generosity.
