Fable Stories

tailored to your level, time and goals.

Trans­lat­ing fables is one of the best ways to improve one’s lan­guage level at a basic level just as nat­ive speak­ers do as chil­dren.  Moreover, fables are found­a­tion­al to cul­tur­al norms, reli­gious beliefs, and mor­al codes. There­fore, with our fable trans­la­tion classes we intend to open the doors of Tibetan cul­ture to novice trans­lat­ors whilst guid­ing them on the path to trans­late longer and more com­plex Buddhist and his­tor­ic­al texts.

Text­books used in this class are care­fully abstrac­ted from the most cel­eb­rated text­books from the above cat­egor­ic­al fields.
