All these exercises will be supported by pictures that will familiarise the learners with the actual matter of their learning and sounds with pronunciation support.

A section for the expert users of the language will be well stocked with standardised information about everything aimed to feed curiosity of our enlightened users. The site will also have a section set aside for a Thesaurus/Dictionary that will have the English equivalent of Bhutia words and phrases and simple definition of difficult terms will also be attached wherever needed.
