I love this course. I feel as if I am finally making progress in Tibetan. Thanks, David! Your method works.                                                           --W.S., New Orleans, LA

 

I am taking the level I class and enjoying it tremendously. I have [now] been studying regularly which is helping me feel confident that I'll be able to read and continue learning Tibetan beyond this first class.                                                               --C.P., Palisades, CA

 

Just wanted to say how great the virtual class was last night. Thanks Deanna for doing such a great job with the materials. And David's presentation was so interesting, tight, and focused. The whole thing was a lot of fun--so thank you!              --R.A., Polson, MT

He has an academic background in classical languages and taught Tibetan to hundreds of Western students for 15 years.
