After all, now they are living in the U.S. or Canada or New Zealand and we should really focus on teaching them the host language. Well, think again. Our experience working with diaspora (migrant) people has helped us to see that the efforts of Christ-followers to learn the language of their new neighbors from other nations can reap great dividends. Beyond the obvious practical benefits, learning to converse with your Bhutanese friend in their own language communicates to them that you truly love them "as you love yourself." You may think of this as a kind of "inverted assimilation", in which a Christ-follower from a host country seeks to incarnate the Savior in the lives, homes, communities and hearts of new immigrants.
Please note one thing, however. It is essential that all your Nepali language study be done in the context of authentic, regular and deep relationships with Nepali speakers. They will tend to be delighted to help you with your language learning, so don't be shy ("sharam namanna!"). Your language-learning should be a time for deepening relationships. Beyond this, there is the practical reality that there are differenced between the way Bhutanese refugees speak Nepali and the way Nepali is taught in books. You will never know these differences without relationships.
Nepali Lessons on MP3 - I've come across the following Nepali language lessons on MP3 that seem to have been produced by a YWAM group called Nepali Alliance. However, that is simply my guess. If anyone knows for sure, please do let me know.
