PADMAKARAPreliminary Reading Course
Optional, before the main course
What the course covers
From 6 October
The classical Tibetan course assumes that you can already read the Tibetan script. For those who do not yet read the Tibetan script, as well as for those who wish to refresh what they have learned, this course will involve a six-week introduction to Tibetan spelling and reading. Its aim is simply to bring everyone to the level required to follow Wulstan Fletcher’s Introduction to Classical Tibetan.
To see where you stand, test your reading online.
Classes begin on 6 October and run twice a week. The first class, on Tuesday 6 October, brings all three groups together on Zoom. After that, three teachers are available (Anne, Coralie and Nayeli), each with a slightly different pedagogical approach, so that you may choose the one that best suits you.
Anne, Coralie and Nayeli have each recorded a short video to introduce themselves and give you a little glimpse of how they teach.
