First Timers


For our friends who are starting to learn Sanskrit and already has some knowledge about the letter writing,

Here are some suggestions.

1.     You may want to get the 2009 classes from AVG Bookstore by Brahmachari Shankara.

2.     2012 six week camp classes – recordings here. 

These classes are basic introductory classes and will explain the rules of Sandhi and
also provide a fair enough introduction to Sanskrit.

3.     Continuing the Antoine-1 classes from the AVG courses – Antoine 1 recordings here.

These classes are little more involved and continuing to gather steam.
An effort is made to catalogue the contents of these classes and also
to create a website with all the end of the chapter exercises.

4.    You can join the online classes for Antoine 1 homework and exercises — see above.
