What Sanskrit Classes is
Devanagari, sandhi, cases and verbs, taught in the order that lets a learner read something real as early as possible. Beginners are the norm here, including the adults.
Read it yourself, and nobody stands between you and the text.
What they will learn
- Read and write Devanagari fluently
- The core grammar: cases, verb forms and the sandhi rules that join words
- Enough vocabulary to read simple verses without a translation beside you
- Simple spoken Sanskrit for greetings and everyday exchanges
What the benefits are
- Direct access to texts, instead of depending on somebody else's translation
- A grammar so systematic that it sharpens thinking about language generally
- Easier learning of Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and other Sanskrit-derived languages
How the 45 minutes run
- A short drill on what was covered last week
- One new idea, taught with examples before rules
- Reading practice on a real verse, however simple
- Written practice between classes, corrected in the next one
What they still have in twenty years
Direct access to the texts, for life: whatever they read afterwards, in whatever translation, they will be able to check it against the original themselves.
