Forums > Study > Tibetan language schools in Yunnan?

Hey jey79, thanks for that! Yes, I understand the issue of dialects at work but presume that the unis teach standard Tibetan. The reason I ask about Yunnan and Sichuan is because I have a Confucius Institute Scholarship to use and unfortunately it does not cover studies in Tibet University. My impression is that beyond TAR, Sichuan and Qinghai are the best places to study Tibetan... but I like Yunnan a lot and it was interested to know if there were some programs there. Thanks for the info!

Forums > Study > Tibetan language schools in Yunnan?

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if any of the unis in Kunming teach Tibetan? Also, any ideas/ recommendations on schools in Dali, Shangrila or elsewhere in Yunnan? Maybe Sichuan and Qinghai are better options?

Thanks!
