Learn Tibetan - EuroTalk

I wish I had a better idea what I was buying when I purchased this, so I will give a heads up to potential future customers. This is about ~270 (may have miscounted) flash cards to learn different words and phrases. There is no introduction to the writing system, and even the romanization is opaque in its pronunciation. Each flash card has two recordings associated with it. You will not be learning to speak Tibetan. No reading, no grammar. This is more of a pocket phrasebook, and since travelers are not welcome in the TAR, you will only be using this in Dharamsala if ever. A disappointing app.

Update: This team immediately responded to the comment below. They provided me with a solution that perfectly addressed my concern. Thanks uTalk team! Old review : I've just started using the app and consider it to be high quality. However, I'm totally baffled why on any given screen the font size is so small I can barely read the Tibetan script. When going one from script to another, it is necessary to read the writing. In this app, I need to do a screen shot and enlarge the font so that I can read the letters easily.

The sound quality is very good, however, this app does not provide useful phrases for travelers. It is a very very limited dictionary of single words. Way overpriced!!!

Finally an app that gives more than just basic script pronunciation. The resources for people wanting to learn Tibetan are very scarce, so I am very appreciative of this app. Yes, there are some basic conversational phrases absent, but I'm so happy that this app even exists in this format (a certain language learning company has ignored Tibetan) I'm willing to overlook that absence.

This app is structured well mechanically, but is missing the most basic phrase information one would need to communicate with others. ' How are you? What is your name? My name is______, ' for instance, is not here: The game formatting is nicely done, but the most basic information is absent. It is too expensive for being so deficient. Best regards

This is a great app for those wanting to learn a little Tibetan. This is the ONLY app or program that I know of to give you more than just the alphabet. I just hope they update it regularly with new words and phrases. Maybe even add the Tibetan alphabet.

This would be ok for someone planning to visit the Tibet exile community in India --but then you could just as well speak English. this has newly minted Tibetan words based on English. in Tibet they will use a Chinese word if there is no Tibetan one. Plus,no one needs the Tibetan word for strawberry. Or beach.
