Does anyone know of a good book/software/site or another way of learning sanskrit?
I have noticed some software on the net but not sure if that will do the job.
I should've stuck with my sanskrit class in grade 8! dang it!!

Not sure they will help -- I have some prelim books. books are better.
I am just curious how sarabhanga learnt it so well!

satay, i have learnt little hindi. i read sanskrit daily shlokas in tirumala.org site. i am able to read it but not understand the meaning. Did you mean the same ? being a north indian, I am sure you would read quite a few aksharas
yes, I am from the North and as such am fluent in Hindi and Punjabi. I took sanskrit in grade 7 and 8 so I know some basic rules like if there is a dot on the top of the end letter of a word it means 'm' sound at the end etc. but of course this was 20 years ago and have forgotten all grammer rules and such.
I feel that there are hundreds if not thousands of people in the same boat as I am in. We want to learn about our tradition but don't know the original language. I talked to a friend whose father is fluent in sanskrit and we thought that it would be neat to come up with a piece of software that taught sanskrit to people like me but ofcourse, like anything else with hindus...this idea never took off and we just blamed it on our karma.

1. Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan has some good courses on Sanskrit
2. I had taken a vow that when ever I buy books with sanskrit texts, I will buy it only if it has word by word meanings furnished
The second system works out very well, for that fact, I have now 7 different versions on Bhagavat Gita and I know where exactly philosophies varies with their approach
Namaste Satay,
I have already provided a link to Omkarananda Ashram's Sanskrit page, in the Links thread. And if you follow the various links on that page you will find very much useful instruction in Sanskrit.
One site in particular is very helpful: http://www.sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar/
ah yes, thank you sire...Originally Posted by sarabhanga
