Description
Three Stories in Spoken Tibetan
Third volume cover
“Learning Tibetan language” turns into risky adventure with threat of getting losrt among inaccessible mountains and dangerous passes as our western mind has great difficulty, perceiving knowledge that has no analogues in our native language. Among many teachers I had already encountered by that time, Gen Dawa, the author of this book, possessed the most admirable quality: the ability to explain and structure. Learning from his book is a pure fortune.

For Westerners, learning Tibetan language is difficult because there is no easy and straightforward mapping of grammar and syntax of Tibetan onto that of their language. In this respect Gen Dawa Tsering has developed an original, systematic and gradual way to present the grammar of colloquial Tibetan.

This book does not conform to the conventional way of teaching Tibetan grammar. The book is a pioneering initiative of the author based on his vast experience. It is an excellent manual for those who wish to learn colloquial Tibetan systematically.
