The online self-learning exercises below are a selection of the 40 modules developed for the Australian National University’s introductory Burmese course ‘Burmese 1’. These exercises were designed to introduce students to essential Burmese vocabulary and grammar as used in daily life, including a basic knowledge of Burmese script. The emphasis on listening skills and colloquial Burmese speech will also help students to deepen their understanding of customs, etiquette and culture in Myanmar.
