Where could I go to learn Dzongkha? (Bhutanese)
I have always had a strange interest with Bhutan, and my plan in life is that if things don't work out for me here in America, I would find a way to move to Bhutan and become a monk or live in the woods or something.
Living in Bhutan would be a bit difficult if I don't speak the language, and I really doubt that many of them speak English, but it is a very obscure language, so I don't really know where to learn it.

Bad news, they would prefer someone from the west to be a doctor, engineer, or someone that can help in economic development. You could still be a Buddhist tho

Thank you, I will read this.
And they can't catch me if I live in the woods.
Also luckily I am getting a degree in chemistry so maybe I could get some work out there for a few years.

Also there's another book called Dzongkha by George van Driem & Karma Tshering. This ones more suited for language learners. It comes with 3 CD's but I'm not sure if this one does

If I can even find a complete set of those books then I'd read them.
