The first steps in learning to write calligraphy is understanding the basic writing system. For that @Bathrobe’s site is great. Also check out StudyMongolian.net. This is more intended for teaching spoken Mongolian, but all of the lessons include the traditional written script. You could use it to learn to read and write.

When you want to get more artistic, check out the book below. It has all kinds of samples and styles of traditional Mongolian calligraphy. I used it when I was working on a calligraphy project and it was really helpful. If you are in Hohhot you can find a copy at one of the Mongolian book shops at the culture market (文化商城) near Inner Mongolia University.

Then if you are looking for a tutor, trading English for Mongolian is a good cheap way to do it. I’ve used this method quite a bit. Try ConversationExchange.com if you are not in the area, but if you are in the area ask a Mongolian if they know anyone who would want to do a language exchange. It should only take a few calls and you will have a new language partner. There are lots of Mongolians who would love to have the change to do a language exchange.

There are calligraphers who sell their calligraphy in UB. For instance, outside the bookstore on 6 Floor of State Department Store there are often stands selling calligraphy. I can’t say for sure, but I think they might be delighted if they found a foreigner who was interested in their work. And of course, it will also help them eke out an income if you pay them.

I have a page up on understanding the script — which is calligraphically beautiful but not easy to grasp.

Good luck!

Not physically in Mongolia, but since you have internet access: http://www.memrise.com/course/135213/classical-mongolian-script/

Tourists (or anybody) can lightly (or heavily) study Mongolian script in Inner or Outer Mongolia (or Outer, outer Mongolia).

On a serious note, I think the best way to study a language is self-study (at your own pace) combined with trying out what you’ve studied with natives.
