AIM OF THE REVIEW SESSIONS

The aim of these weekly Review Sessions is to solidify and practice the content of the Lower Advanced Course (Tib. 301) 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gain more clarity about the grammar topics and ease or fluency at understanding the vocabulary of Lessons 21-25 of our unpublished textbook བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ། Volume 3. Another goal is also to continue building healthy study habits, such as regular vocabulary, reading, listening and རིགས་མཚུངས། practice, talking to yourself in Tibetan, etc. which are important for your continuous learning.

REQUIREMENTS

Alumni, both general and auditing of the Lower Advanced Course Tib. 301 are qualified and invited to attend these classes as well as new students who are planning to enroll in the Upper Advanced Course Tib. 302 (starting in January 2026) 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. 301 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 BETA version webinars of Lesson 21-25 or the Full Study Package of Lessons 21-25. However, this is not a requirement, just advice.

Newcomers will however receive access to the Lessons on PDF, including audios.
