Important side-note

These carefully developed Tibetan language materials serve as a supplement to your main learning journey. As creative and thorough as they are, they can not substitute communication skills and insights into the language that one gains when participating in a Tibetan language course or engaging with a study community. It is because learning a language, especially a spoken one, is a social undertaking, and mastering a language alone is nearly to impossible. That's why we strongly encourage you to enroll into a Tibetan language course or find fellow companions who also study Tibetan language to form a small study group together!
