ENDORSEMENTS FROM RINPOCHES
David Curtis is one of the best teachers of Tibetan Language. Ι . It is a rare opportunity. David is not just a language teacher; he is part of an authentic Dharma lineage."
Anam Thubten Rinpoche, Tibetan Lama
The unique methods of language instruction offered by the [Tibetan Language] Institute have drawn large numbers of students, and the speed and swiftness with which they learn to read and write Tibetan is remarkable. For those who are interested in Tibetan Dharma, cultural and scholarly traditions, history, and stories, this activity--Tibetan language studies--is most important....Because literacy is the foundation of all learning, we clearly recognize its crucial importance."
Gochen Tulku Rinpoche, Tibetan Lama (Tulku Sang-ngak Rinpoche)
STUDENTS COMMENTS ON VIRTUAL CLASSES
Learning Tibetan from David Curtis is definitely one of life's better experiences. I'm enjoying the course very much. Just the weekly discipline of attending helps a lot. I think your mind works very much like mine - a lot of the side points you make just sort of light things up for me, and I really appreciate the way you analyze the Tibetan. I'm glad I've signed up for the next course as well! --S.L, NYC I love this course. I feel as if I am finally making progress in Tibetan. Thanks, David! Your method works, as you know. --W.S., New Orleans, LA 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
