Bloomfield Andrew, Tshering Yanki. Tibetan Phrasebook

Snow Lion Publications, 1987. — 152 p. — ISBN: 0-937938-54-8.As the title indicates, this book concentrates on the spoken language. If you're going to Tibet or want to communicate with Tibetan communities, this book will be useful.
Despite some problems with the presentation, the accompanying tapes are the best feature. The book is of little use to anyone without these tapes since it does not use the Tibetan script.
Interesting little tidbits about Tibetan culture and traditions are included throughout the book as well.
