Each lesson is available as one file with all the subsectionsput together.

Sanskrit Basics Pdf
Thisformat is sufficiently universal and the Acrobat Reader on a system willbe adequate to view the lessons off-line. There are a few shortcomingswith this format of the lessons with respect to the presentation. The lessonsare presented in one single file for each lesson and so the convenience of the presentation as in these pages will be lost. However, this format offers the flexibility to view the lessons on almost all computers including the Macintosh. There is not need to install any fonts for Devanagari. The document embeds the font and so the lessons can be viewed easily.

The Summer School in Spoken Sanskrit will take place online (videoconference).
In this course, the students will learn how to converse in Sanskrit on topics of daily life by using classical and modern vocabulary. Active participation of the students and modern multi-media tools will facilitate the learning process in the interactively designed course. Thus, the students and scholars will be able to overcome the perception of Sanskrit as a written-only, “dead” language, and increase their confidence in actively using this language. The study of Sanskrit will become a lively and creative experience for the students and will also contribute to their understanding of the written language. The course is a unique opportunity to learn and practice spoken Sanskrit in a dynamic environment.
