The most systematic and extensive course system available in spoken Tibetan
language, Fluent Tibetan was developed by language experts working in conjunctionwith indigenous speakers at the University of Virginia.

Based upon courses fordiplomats needing to learn a language quickly, the method acquaints students withthe sounds and patterns of Tibetan speech, through repetitive interactive drills,enabling the quick mastery of increasingly complex structures, and therebypromoting rapid progress in speaking the language. Fluent Tibetan is the best course available anywhere for learning on your own. The package consists of textbooks and tape recordings, arranged in fifteen units. The first three units are devoted to recognition and pronunciation of the Tibetan alphabet and its combinations in syllables and words. With unit four, vocabulary and grammatical patterns are introduced in situational dialogues.

Each dialogue is followed byextensive drills repeating the vocabulary and grammatical patterns in different contexts thereby teaching how to use the language creatively.

The exceptionally clear voices in the dialogues and drills are both male and female indigenous Tibetans.

The glossary is both Tibetan-English and English-Tibetan.
Fluent Tibetan corresponds to a year of college-level language study.
