Classical Tibetan Textbooks
Classical Tibetan Textbooks
Can anyone recommend a good textbook for learning to read classical Tibetan through self-study? I'm aware there are several titles available nowadays, but would anyone be able to provide their insight and experience?

I am just starting out so I cannot report with any expertise, but I am currently working with the following:
The Classical Tibetan Language
Beyer, Stephan V.,
State University of New York Press, c1992.
Tibetan Language Correspondence Course
by Sarah Harding and Jeremy Morelli
I Tunes U has a couple of intro courses from Emory University with Tzepak Rigzin
Also, a really fantastic blog:

Re: Classical Tibetan Textbooks
I recommend "Introduction to Classical Tibetan" by Stephen Hodge. Next to grammar explanations it also has translation exercises with solutions at the end of the book. If I remember right it was originally a correspondence course.

Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.
