Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I am very interested in learning Sanskrit. Can someone give me advice on how to best do this. Given my circumstances, a distance learning program might be the only option. Has anyone any experience with a distance learning program? Are they effective and could you recomend one? I am interested in both writen and spoken learning. Thank you for your consideration in helping me. Mazu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Dear Mazu: I have just found a book called Sanskrit, An Introduction to the Classical Language, which is also called: Sanskrit, A Complete Course for Beginners, and/or Teach Yourself Sanskrit. (It didn't come with a CD, unfortunately. It was last copyrighted in 1992.) It says in the book: "This course in Sanskrit has been devised to enable the student to read Indian classics in the original.The carefully graded chapters explain Sanskrit grammar and style with exceptional clarity. Exercises, most of which use only sentences taken directly from Sanskrit authrors, enble the student to check his progress." I recently got the book from the public library and have yet to begin studying it, but it looks like a good book - comprehensive, and done by people who cared. Good luck with your studies!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Dear Manoj: The author of the book is Michael Coulson. He died before it was published, so several people assisted in its completion, much to the Sanskrit students' benefit.
