See it. Hear it. Know it.
Tibetan Visual Dictionary is a free app that teaches everyday Tibetan
through pictures, text, and audio. Each word carries Tibetan script,
English, and Chinese with pinyin, organized into 40 themed categories
you can work through one at a time.
BROWSE BY CATEGORY
Animals, birds, aquatic life and insects. Fruits, vegetables, grains,
dishes, beverages and seasonings. Body parts, family relationships and
emotions. Colors, numbers, opposites, common verbs and everyday phrases.
Clothing, household items, stationery and toys. Musical instruments and
sports. Computers, communications, photography, vehicles and transport.
Minerals, precious stones, astronomy and geography. Occupations,
education, health, business and economy.
PICTURES INSTEAD OF WORD LISTS
Most words are illustrated with a photograph, and the rest are shown
with a clear symbol. Either way the Tibetan attaches to the thing itself
rather than to an English translation. Search by Tibetan script,
English, Chinese, or Wylie transliteration.
HEAR THE PRONUNCIATION
Recorded audio in Tibetan, English and Chinese. Audio playback is part
of Premium, an optional upgrade described at the end of this
description.
MANY WAYS TO PRACTICE
Study mode turns every word into a game: Multiple Choice, Flashcards,
Matching, Listening, Sound to Picture, Memory Pairs, Speed Round, Build
the Word, Say It Back, Build the Phrase, How Would You Feel, and more.
Save words to Favorites, build a daily streak, and track how well you
know each category. Five study sessions are included free; unlimited
practice is part of Premium.
WORKS OFFLINE
Words, pictures and audio are stored on your device. No connection
needed — on a plane, in the mountains, or anywhere else.
