| English is not my first language. Do you think that I will be able to understand the teachers? |
|
The entire course will be taught in English, but do not worry too much if English is not your first language. On average, more than half of the participants on our courses are not native English speakers. The teachers on the course know this and try to speak clearly and to explain Buddhist terms. We also have Dharma glossaries in Hebrew, Spanish, French & German here, and some books in a few other languages in our library (we also welcome any donations you'd like to make of others!). You may also find it helpful to listen to some of the audio files on our resources page. Here we have recordings of several of our regular teachers, listen and check your comprehension. Feedback from former students suggests that if you understand English fairly well, you should be okay. |
