Loplao offers a wealth of oppor­tun­ity for all the Tibetan lan­guage learners. Courses include everything from day-to-day col­lo­qui­al Tibetan to the more spe­cial­ized style and vocab­u­lary found in clas­sic­al Tibetan scrip­tures and Buddhist philo­soph­ic­al texts. No mat­ter what your level or focus might be—we have a course for you. We are proud to draw upon our years of study and teach­ing exper­i­ence as well as our rich col­lec­tion of texts and source mater­i­als that make lan­guage learn­ing fun and inter­est­ing. We  focus on all four lan­guage skills—reading, writ­ing, speak­ing, and listen­ing to help you reach your per­son­al lan­guage learn­ing goals. We look for­ward to meet­ing you soon!

LopLao is work­ing closely togeth­er with Tib Shelf—an open plat­form to access a grow­ing cache of trans­lated Tibetan texts across a vast array of time peri­ods and genres. Through an inclus­ive and col­lab­or­at­ive approach, we strive to save oth­er­wise for­got­ten trans­la­tions and sup­port the pre­ser­va­tion of Tibetan His­tory, Cul­ture and Wisdom.

Why Loplao?

Hear from our stu­dents first-hand

EasyT­ibetan ran a won­der­ful, intense learn­ing exper­i­ence and always went the extra mile to make sure that all stu­dents were accom­mod­ated as much as pos­sible, in light of our dif­fer­ent learn­ing needs and abil­it­ies. The text we used is one of the best lan­guage-learn­ing texts I’ve seen yet, and I highly recom­mend this course.

Riam­sara Kuyakan­on Knapp

As a com­plete begin­ner, I found the Col­lo­qui­al Tibetan Sum­mer School a won­der­ful exper­i­ence. The teach­er was so gen­er­ous in his teach­ing, and, with his patient encour­age­ment, by the end of the fort­night I was begin­ning to decode this most bewil­der­ing of writ­ten lan­guages. I fully recom­mend the course to any­one will­ing to ‘try hard’, and would myself hap­pily return year after year.

Jenny Skene

The teach­er was a very patient ded­ic­ated instruct­or; the course was well organ­ized with drills in each of the areas of speak­ing, listen­ing, read­ing, and writ­ing; and I greatly enjoyed get­ting to know my very diverse class­mates as well as enga­ging in the fre­quent cul­tur­al activ­it­ies.  My skills improved in con­crete and last­ing ways, and I had fun every single day.
