>Dili Institute of Technology is pleased to 
>announce that we will be offering regular Tetun 
>language courses for foreigners, at all levels. 
>We will initially focus on intensive courses at 
>our own campus, with plans to extend our range 
>of services as time goes on. The initial two 
>courses will be Beginners’ courses, with 
>participants welcome to attend for either one or both weeks.
>We will send more information on subsequent courses as plans firm.
>
>Dates:       Week 1. Monday – Friday, 3rd – 7th December.
>                   Week 2. Monday – Friday, 10th – 14th December.
>Times:       8.30am to 12.30pm daily
>Location:  Dili Institute of Technology, Aimutin 
>campus. To get there, take the Comorro road out 
>from the city, and turn inland (left) at the 
>Leader supermarket. Drive straight through the 
>intersection with the back ‘Banana’ road (which 
>links Bairro Pite and Delta). Then take the 
>second road left. Follow this road until you get 
>to a T-junction, then head right. The campus is 
>about 100 metres along on your left, up a narrow 
>track through some paddocks. If catching a taxi, 
>stress that this is the Aimutin campus, not our 
>old campus in Bairro Pite. Many Timorese know the school as “Eskola Dit”.
>Cost:          US$120
>                   plus $17.50 for the Peace 
> Corps East Timor Tetun Language Course if you don’t have it.
>Level:        Absolute beginner, or can 
>communicate minimally on everyday topics, but 
>cannot yet ask and answer all basic questions. 
>For those who are beyond the absolute beginner 
>stage, we will schedule a brief interview in the 
>week before the course, to enable me to 
>determine which group would most benefit you.
>Teachers:  The teachers and tutors will all be 
>East Timorese, with the exception of the course 
>coordinator, Catharina Williams-van Klinken, who has a PhD in Tetun.
>Method:    Most teaching will be in small 
>groups, with a variety of teachers and teaching 
>methods. Some English will be used as required.
>
>Content:    For absolute beginners, we hope that 
>by the end of the week you will be able to:
>·                            Greet people, and take your leave
>·                            Use appropriate terms of address
>·                            Introduce yourself, 
>stating your name and where your are from
>·                            Thank, apologise, and excuse yourself
>·                            Request permission to do something
>·                            Express basic 
>feelings (e.g. hungry, tired) and wants (e.g. need for food or rest)
>·                            Request names of 
>people and things, request clarification (e.g. ‘please repeat that slowly’)
>For those with some Tetun already, we will seek 
>to tailor the course to your starting proficiency.
