Namaste!
Please, is there any on-line course for learning Sanskrit which you could recommend? Or is this not a good approach? I have seen that Chinmaya Mission have some courses.

Online is not that bad and it's better if you have access to a good teacher or Sanskrit expert

Courses offered by Chinmaya mission are, in general, trustworthy. I have heard about them and visited their foundation when I used to study in 2003. At that time, they were doing good work. I do not know if something is changed recently.
Learning sanskrit may be fine. It's like learning any other language, but learning scriptures is different thing. As @realdemigod has said, learning scriptures needs a good Guru, rather I would say a Realized Guru.
In descending order it's
(Realized) Guru --> Acharya --> Purohit --> Pandit
Acharya:
Acharya is the one who purifies the atmosphere (vatavaran) by his/her conduct.
Acharya is devired from word Acharana and can be summarized as pavitra achrana (holy actions or purified actions)
Purohit:
a brahmin caste whom are trusted to carry on Guru's work in absence of Guru. they mostly teach or practice Karma Kand, and may not may not be knowledgeable in many shastras)
Pandit:
Knowledgeable in shastras, mostly is a temple priest.

Silence is the study of the scruptures. Meditation is the continuous thinking of Brahman which is to be meditated upon. The complete negation of both by knowledge is the vision of truth – sadAcAra-14 of Adi SankarAcArya

तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया ।
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्वदर्शिनः ॥
उस ज्ञान को तू तत्वदर्शी ज्ञानियों के पास जाकर समझ, उनको भलीभाँति दण्डवत्* प्रणाम करने से, उनकी सेवा करने से और कपट छोड़कर सरलतापूर्वक प्रश्न करने से वे परमात्म तत्व को भलीभाँति जानने वाले ज्ञानी महात्मा तुझे उस तत्वज्ञान का उपदेश करेंगे. श्रीमद्*भगवद्*गीता-4.34

Your replies are much appreciated. Due to my present situation, as a lone Dharmi in the rural Norway, 300 km from the nearest temple, an on-line course is the only solution.

Namaste,
I really appreciate your willingness to learn sanskrit. Though It can be helpful, it is not necessary to be a sanskrit scholar for spiritual progress.
When there are few or no option, use what is available. e-course may be a solution for you, but I do not know any.
Happy Diwali
