tibetanlanguage.school is a free online Tibetan language school. It includes a complete introductory course in Standard Tibetan grammar, practice materials for your listening and reading skills, and a variety of other resources. The goal of the site is to make Tibetan language education more accessible. It launched in December 2022.
The website is guided by several principles:
- accessible: the content is free, and connects the reader to other free and open-access resources. Technical language is defined, without assuming prior knowledge of linguistics.
- adaptable: the content can be updated easily to incorporate corrections, additions, and expansions.
- research-based: the content is informed by research in Tibetan and Tibetic linguistics, including original research.
- collaborative: the website aims to connect to different Tibetan language resources, teachers, and communities. If you want to contribute, collaborate, or just talk about Tibetan, please reach out!

Hey! I’m the creator of tibetanlanguage.school. I’ve had a lifelong love of language, sparked by early forays into French and conlanging.
I studied Classical Sanskrit, Classical Tibetan, and linguistics at McGill University (BA, 2019). Since 2019 I’ve focused on studying Modern Tibetan with freelance community teachers.
Note: You can find me on Pixelfed and GitHub 🙂
All knowledge is communal. I am grateful to my Tibetan teachers for introducing me to the language, especially Norbu Samphel, who has been my main teacher for several years. Thank you also to everyone who has given feedback and suggestions for this website.
If you are a native Tibetan language teacher or content creator who needs help with web design, grammar terminology, or English proofreading, please feel free to contact me. I offer help free of charge for open-access projects that are in alignment with my skills, values, interests, and availability.
