2022 ‘LANGUAGES OF MYANMAR’ INYA COURSE SERIES

The Inya Institute is pleased to announce its inaugural language course series on three prominent languages spoken in Myanmar:

(1) Kachin – Jinghpaw; (2) Karen – S’gaw; and (3) Shan – Tai long.

 

The two-week language course will equip participants with the essential skills needed to communicate confidently and effectively in one of the three languages in a broad range of situations. Our three teams of language teachers were trained by the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s SEASSI current Burmese language instructor. No prior knowledge of these languages is required.
