AIM OF THE REVIEW SESSIONS

The aim of these weekly Review Sessions is to solidify and practice the content of the Lower Intermediate Course (Tib. 201) 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 11-15 of our textbook བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ། Volume 2. Another goal is also to continue building healthy study habits, such as regular vocabulary and reading practice, talking to yourself in Tibetan, etc. which are important for your continuous learning.

REQUIREMENTS

Alumni, both general and auditing of the Course Tib. 201 (or past Lower Intermediate Courses) are qualified and invited to attend these classes as well as new students who are planning to enroll in Tib. 202 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 ten weeks is up to you and you’ll decide as a group on day one of the class.

(NO) CLASS MATERIALS

These Review Sessions do not include any course materials or resources. Alumni of the Tib. 201 Course 2025 will still have access to all your previous materials and resources.

Newcomers to these Review Sessions are advised to purchase access to the webinars and keypoint videos of Lessons 11-15, or the Full Study Package of Lessons 11-15. However, this is not a requirement, just advice.

SCHEDULE & CONTENTS

Each session is between an hour and an hour and a half (including Q.&A) depending on the number of participants.

IMPORTANT LOGISTICS

The Zoom link is different from the one of the Tib. 201 Course and you’ll find it on the Moodle platform.

Upon registration, you’ll be enrolled into a Review Module on Moodle where you can find the schedule, དཀར་པང་། (whiteboards) and class recordings. It looks like this, you can find it under “My Lessons” or “Dashboard” or “Site Home”.

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.)

TEACHERS

The teachers for these Review Sessions are རྒན་ལྷག་པ་ཚེ་རིང་ལགས། and རྒན་ Bhargavi ལགས།.

Ms. Giraffe version:

If you also would like to have a weekly tutor session during those 10 weeks, this is possible and the total cost then is $150 (10 Review Sessions & 10 tutor classes). ($120 for our monastic friends).
