A Week in Rebkong, Amdo
Inspired by the University of Minnesota's Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition's Less Commonly Taugt Languages Projects, The Virtual Audio-Video Archives and Virtual Picture Albums, the learning module A Week in Rebkong is intended for learners already familiar with the Tibetan alphabet and basic vocabulary in Lhasa Tibetan. It is a condensed and modified version of an Amdo class taught by Gedun Rabsal at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
