Vipas
I am Vipas. I have been teaching Nepali as a side gig for almost 2 years now.While searching for materials for my students, I noticed that there was not enough reference material online. So I thought of creating some by myself. I will be starting from the basics and will add more episodes as per my lesson plan.The resource materials (pdfs) for learning Nepali can be downloaded via my patreon here.
