Classical Tibetan (Chöke), Bhuddist Philosophy, and Dzongkha | Professional Teacher. I help students to read and understand Classical Tibetan (Chöke/Choeke) and to build confidence in their Dzongkha skills, the national language of Bhutan. My lessons are designed for: • Buddhist practitioners who want to read scriptures in Chöke • Students, researchers and translators working with Classical Tibetan texts • People preparing to live, work or travel in Bhutan • Bhutanese heritage learners who want to strengthen their reading and writing I hold a Master’s degree in Buddhist Studies from Tango University of Buddhist Studies in Thimphu. I have more than 15 years of teaching experience, and I formerly served as Principal of Phajoding Shedra (Monastic School). Complete beginners are welcome! In Chöke, I can teach you right from basics like learning the alphabet through to grammar, vocabulary and translation, or guide you through a Buddhist text of your choice. In Dzongkha, I teach speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar, with lessons adapted to the learner’s age, level and goals. My teaching style is patient, clear and carefully adapted around each student. In a trial lesson, we will discuss what you want to achieve, assess your starting point and agree on a practical learning plan. I look forward to meeting you!

I had another nice lesson with Namgay. We started learning the Dzongkha script and learned how to pronounce and write the letters. Namgay was patient and explained the pronunciation of the letters clearly.

I just had my first Dzongkha lesson and it went very well. Namgay sent me some learning materials that he had prepared and we covered them during the lesson. We also discussed my goals and plans of learning Dzongkha. I think Namgay will help me a lot in my Dzongkha learning journey.

I had a very good lesson with Namgay. He taught me how to use demonstrative pronouns like this and that and we also learned how to use the possessive pronouns my and your. After that I started constructing my own basic sentences. We also learned the question words what and where. I enjoyed my lesson very much.
