Anyone know of some great sources to learn Tibetan?

Travelling the world has been a lifelong dream of mine, and one of the countries at the top of my list is Tibet. I understand that knowing the language isn't really required to go there and have a great time, but I feel it would enhance my visit if I had a grasp of the language.

The search feature here showed me that there hasn't been much discussion on the Tibetan language here. Is anyone here well-versed in the language, or able to point me in the right direction of someone who is? I would be absolutely ecstatic if someone could recommend their favorite book or app that aided them in learning Tibetan as well.

 

Thanks in advance!
