Many beginners of Tibetan will have a doubt, that is, is it difficult to learn Tibetan by themselves? Tibetan language is an extremely important carrier of Tibetan culture, which is very important for learning and understanding Tibetan culture, but there are several points that must be understood if you want to learn Tibetan by yourself. Generally speaking, Tibetan is divided into three dialects: Weizang, Kangba and Amdo. There are some differences between these dialects, among which Amdo dialect is relatively easy for beginners to learn because it has no tone sandhi.

If you want to teach yourself Tibetan, it is very important to master Tibetan spelling and grammar. Because many pronunciations in Tibetan can't be found in Mandarin, it is suggested to choose a way to follow the pronunciations in order to learn Tibetan well.

For Tibetan beginners, first of all, you need to memorize thirty letters and four vowel notes, especially the standard pronunciation of each of the thirty letters, so as to avoid confusing the pronunciation in subsequent learning. The four main tones of Tibetan are divided into:

Gao Pingtiao (represented by "F"); Tone trend: →; Similar to a sound in Chinese, but shorter than a sound. ); Low rising tone (represented by "V"); Tone trend: ↗; Same as Chinese second sound); Bass (represented by "w"); Tone trend: ↗↘; Contrary to the third tone in Chinese, rising first and then falling is the most difficult tone to master. High and low tones (represented by "H"); Tone trend: ↘; With the fourth sound of Chinese)

Tibetan * * * has four tones, but there are only two tones among the thirty consonants: Gao Pingtiao (f) and low rising tone (v). Like letters? Its sound can be marked as gaf, "ga" stands for its sound, and "F" stands for its sound.

If you want to learn Tibetan well and communicate with Tibetan compatriots, you must practice your spoken English well. After spelling correctly, you can try to learn some simple dialogues. You can also practice Tibetan dialogue with the help of Tibetan-English translation APP, which is very practical for Tibetan-Chinese translation and pronunciation reading.

Tibetan is a beautiful language, but like learning any language, learning Tibetan has to follow a process, which cannot be achieved overnight. Some people think it's difficult, while others think it's simpler than European languages because of tone. But if you want to learn, you must stick to it, otherwise, in simple language, it is like a sacred book, but you don't understand it.
