Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Heart of Tibetan Language! With this innovative course book, there is no need to re-learn English grammar in order to study a foreign language. Instead, you will learn to speak the language by discovering the way Tibetans think, through the heart of the Tibetan language.Can you imagine a language in which letters have their own genders? In Tibetan, speaking to certain people, and even about sacred places and buildings, requires special honorific terminology. Not only that, but an auxiliary form is used to indicate whether the speaker has direct experience of what is being said! Do you wonder how you will learn to use the all-pervasive notions of "Self and Other" (¿¿¿ & ¿¿¿¿ bdag & gzhan/), volitional and non-volitional verbs (¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ & ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ byed 'brel las tshig & byed med las tshig/), and so much more? Franziska Oertle's novel approach, introduces you to the indigenous notions, logic and categorizations used by Tibetans themselves,combining them with a student-centered, contemporary learning methodology.Exploring these concepts may seem a bit challenging at first. But rest assured, the presentation is fascinating and engaging. This is a most effective way for learners to gain a deep understanding of the Tibetan mindset. The Heart of Tibetan Language may just change how you view yourself and the world, as you learn the basics of how to communicate in colloquial Tibetan.
