Foundation Course in Tibetan Language for foreign students. A few foreigners when they first came here to study Tibetan language, we don't have any special class for them. They studied Tibetan language from our teachers in their spare time. In Dharamsala, the interested group in Tibetan Language and Buddhism are growing gradually, and so are their challenges. Financially - they have to face the huge rent, costly requirements and high tuition fee (that too for a limited hour). Academically - short of qualified teacher, limited resources and unsuitable environment all added to their discouraging factor. Through the constant request of many acquaintance and under much deliberations with our concern staffs, 'The foreign language Class' was finally set up at this college in the year 2004 to help the foreigners in learning Tibetan language at much cheaper cost and under more favorable environment. Since its inception, it is benefiting many foreigners and encouraging many more and our teachers are also experienced in their job. We offer a unique environment where learning of Tibetan language takes place naturally. The present Korean translator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a product of our language class and we hope this is a great contribution. So, those who wish to join here should completely be aware of our motive and cooperate with us over the following points for our mutual benefit.
