Tibetan Language Seminar
Reading Class
With David Curtis
November 12-14, 2004
David is back in L. A. to take students through one of the fundamental texts of the Tibetan language: The Thirty-seven Practices of the Bodhisattva. Come have fun and enhance your reading ability in Tibetan! This course is designed for those with moderate reading ability. It is a continuation of the course taught in July of this year, but it is not necessary to have attended that class. Come for one, two or three days.
A former student had this to say:
"Studying under Mr. Curtis for just one week advanced my understanding in the Tibetan language enormously. In addition to the qualities needed in any teacher (proficiency in subject matter, understanding of differences between individual students, patience), Mr. Curtis has a rare brilliance and clarity of communication that make his teaching extraordinary. Mr. Curtis intersperses his language teaching with interesting and amusing Dharma stories which, in addition to having their own inherent value, facilitate the absorption of the language material. He structures his classes with an effective balance of formal pedagogy, sharing of his own whimsical mnemonics and flexibility when questions are asked."
