AIM OF THE REVIEW SESSIONS

The aim of these weekly Review Sessions is to solidify and practice the content of the Upper Beginner Course (Tib. 102) 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 6-10 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, both general and auditing of the Course Tib. 102 (or past Upper Beginner Courses) are qualified and invited to attend these classes as well as new students who are planning to enroll in Tib. 201 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 six weeks is up to you and you’ll decide as a group on day one of the class. It is important to be open and welcoming if new students join these Review Sessions.

(NO) CLASS MATERIALS

These Review Sessions do not include any course materials or resources. Alumni of the Tib. 102 Course 2026 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 6-10, or the Full Study Package of Lessons 6-10. However, this is not a requirement, just advice. Having the textbook བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ།, Heart of Tibetan Language, Volume 1 is very much recommended. Its ebook is available here.
