Hey, your first anon here. I studied sanskrit in school but then i just left it after my high-school. Do you have any idea about how you'll start learning it because even i want to utilize the next few months I'll get after mid june to pick it up again.

I have no idea where to start except gathering the confidence to contact my sanskrit teacher from school whom i haven't talked to for years :'

hey there special anon, apologies for the late reply.

i don’t have a concrete plan yet. i scoured through a bunch of online resources and narrowed down on three resources:

https://www.learnsanskrit.org/ - it has a pretty comprehensive approach to learning sanskrit, and it’s free. i found some other courses/websites too but they’re not free, so i’m not super keen on them, and i found them less extensive compared to this free website. this one is for beginners as well as for those who want to skip the basics.

apart from this, i found this other website that kinda helps with conversational sanskrit, if that’s of interest to you, also free - http://www.acharya.gen.in:8080/sanskrit/new-lessons.php

lastly, i’m reading this book - sanskrit swayam shikshak by shripad d. satwalekar. i only found the hindi edition, not sure if there’s an english translation. personally, it would help me familiarise myself with the devanagari script. i also feel like the hindi version would emphasise some nuances better, which could get missed out in english - just my assumption though, i could be wrong.

so i’m gonna focus on the first and third one majorly, at least for now. i'm a complete beginner (didn't study it in school) so i've chosen these. if i’m consistent enough, i’ll look into more books and courses.

it would be a great idea to contact your teacher though, personal attention and recommendations can be really helpful when it comes to self studying a language. it might be a little awkward to establish contact again (😅), so it's upto you. if you do, please let me know the advice you get.

hope this helps!

if anyone else reading this has better recommendations, please comment.

Hiii, I've been following your blog since some time. And I've been very fascinated and impressed by your journey. I'm sure at this point you know hindi better than me (I'm not proud of this, I'll focus better on Hindi from now). And I've always had this question, I'm not sure if I asked you or if you have already answered it or not. But how did you start learning Hindi? Are you Indian or indian origin? And how has your journey been? Did you find difficulties? What was easy for you and what did you like/dislike about the culture as you continued learning the language? I'm very curious.

Hi and thank you so much for such a nice ask!

Here's my previous answer to how I got into Hindi in the first place.

In short, I am just a Finnish linguaphile with no connection to India or South Asia whatsoever. I have loved learning about different languages since childhood but Hindi (and Urdu on the side) has been my passion for the past six to seven years now.

I got into the language very typically through Hindi cinema but more than just the aesthetics I'm fascinated by the history, art, socio-political fabric, nature and just all of it. I love learning new things in general and there's always something new about Indian people or culture that draws my interest. Looking at things - whether political, religious or whatever - from a distance, I try to observe and form an understanding more than form opinions - it's not my place and all I have is endless respect for Indian people. I've never been to India but believe me I have long to-do and to-see lists when I eventually one day get to go there.

My language journey has been very enjoyable. I've done some online courses, had iTalki tutors, done some videos to practice pronunciation, made a huge Anki deck and done lots of reading, podcast listening and film watching. I was making great progress but my learning has been on somewhat hiatus since last autumn when I got a new job that took all my energy. Since January I've been writing a PhD thesis proposal that has taken all my spare time and my Hindi learning has diminished to scrolling Tumblr poems and listening to film songs while commuting. The passion is still there and I intend to return to my routines as soon as possible.

What I love most about Hindi as a language is the logic of it. It's - for me at least - very easy to 'get' Hindi, as in understanding the grammar rules - why things are the way they are. Hindi is a very learner-friendly language that way. A bigger issue is the immense vocabulary and understanding of the historical and cultural roots around borrowing sounds and words from Sanskrit, Persian and other languages - how they play together and how they do not etc. When learning Hindi you are never just learning Hindi!

I had some trouble learning Devanagari at first and learning to differentiate all the sounds (and produce them from my mouth). It took time, but one day they clicked. I'm not perfect and there's a lot of room for improvement but seeing the progress I've made is very encouraging and helps me keep on learning. Learning Nastaliq and Naskh is another story - and another journey altogether!

History Of Devanagari Script

Devanagari is a combination of the word’s deva and nagari. Deva translates as “heavenly,” “divine,” or “deity.” Nagari derives from Nagaram, a Sanskrit word that means “town.” Devanagari can therefore be rendered as “from the home of divinity.” The ancient term Nagar gave rise to the name Devanagari.

Nagari was one of the primary scripts used for the Sanskrit literature and first appeared in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent around 633 CE. It was fully evolved by the 11th century CE.

The 1st to 4th century CE inscriptions found in Gujarat provide some of the earliest epigraphic evidence of the development of the Sanskrit Nagar script in ancient India. [10] Nagar script variants, which are recognisable as being close to Devanagari, are first documented in Sanskrit Rudradaman inscriptions from the first century CE,Inscriptions from the Middle Ages indicate widespread use of scripts related to the Nagari, with scripts exhibiting local script alongside the adoption of Nagari scripts. For instance, the Siddha Matrika script and an early Telugu-Kannada script can both be found on the Pattadakal pillar from the middle of the eighth century in Karnataka.

By the seventh century CE, the Nagari script was in widespread use, and by the end of the first millennium, it had reached its full development. Numerous pillar and cave-temple inscriptions, like the 11th-century Udayagiri inscriptions in Madhya Pradesh, attest to the employment of Sanskrit in Nagari script in mediaeval India.

Moreover, the British Museum is home to an inscribed brick from 1217 CE that was discovered in Uttar Pradesh. Prototypes of the script and related variations have been found alongside historic artefacts outside of India, in places including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Buddhists in East Asia used the Siddha Matrika script, which is thought to be the closest ancestor of Nagari has historically been the foremost among the Indian scripts.

It has been used by religiously educated people in South Asia for a very long time to record and convey information, coexisting alongside a wide range of regional scripts (such as Mo, Kaithi, and Mahajani) used for administration, trade, and other daily activities all throughout the country.

In Kashmir, Sharada is still used in parallel. The Kutila inscription of Bareilly, which dates to VS 1049 (992 CE), exhibits the formation of the horizontal bar to combine letters pertaining to a word in an early form of Devanagari. [1] With a writing date of roughly 150 BCE and a transcription date of the 14th century CE, the 1,413 Nagari pages of a commentary by Patanjali are one of the earliest Sanskrit manuscripts from the early post-Maurya period still in existence.

Learning Hindi at Home with English

Have you ever dreamt of conversing with the friendly people of India or understanding the beautiful lyrics of Bollywood music? Well, fret no more! Hindi, the fourth most spoken language globally, is now within your reach. Even if you don't have access to a physical classroom, you can embark on this exciting linguistic journey from the comfort of your home, using English as your guide.

1. Mastering the Alphabet: The Foundation of Hindi

Hindi uses the Devanagari script, which might seem daunting at first glance. But don't worry! There are numerous resources available online and in libraries to help you learn the letters. Start with identifying the basic consonants and vowels, then practice writing them. Many apps and websites offer interactive exercises to make this process engaging.

2. Building Vocabulary: Bricks for your Hindi Sentences

The next step is accumulating vocabulary. Focus on learning commonly used words for greetings, everyday objects, and basic actions. Flashcards, mobile apps with spaced repetition systems, and even labelling objects around your house in Hindi can significantly boost your word bank. Remember, consistency is key!

3. Grammar Simplified: Understanding Hindi Sentence Structure

English and Hindi grammar have some similarities, but there are also key differences. Familiarize yourself with basic sentence structure, including subject-verb-object order and verb conjugations. There are many English-Hindi grammar books and online tutorials available to guide you through these nuances.

4. Conversation is King: Putting Your Hindi into Practice

Learning a language is all about communication. Once you have a grasp of the basics, don't be afraid to start speaking Hindi! Look for language exchange partners online or through apps. There are also websites and YouTube channels dedicated to Hindi conversations for beginners, often conducted in English.

5. Immerse Yourself in Hindi Culture: Spice Up Your Learning

Learning a language goes hand-in-hand with understanding the culture. Watch Bollywood movies with English subtitles, listen to Hindi music, or find Indian TV shows you enjoy. There are even podcasts and audiobooks designed for Hindi learners, allowing you to absorb the language in a fun and culturally enriching way.

6. Embrace the Journey: Celebrate Small Wins

Learning a new language takes time and dedication. Don't get discouraged if you make mistakes – they're a natural part of the process! Celebrate your small wins, like mastering a new word or having your first successful conversation.

7. Make it Fun and Engaging: Keep the Spark Alive

Language learning should be enjoyable! Find ways to make your studies fun and engaging. Play language games, watch funny Hindi skits, or even try cooking a delicious Indian recipe while following Hindi instructions.

With dedication, the right resources, and a dash of fun, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can start conversing in Hindi. So, what are you waiting for? Take the first step on your Hindi learning adventure today – your future conversations await!

Conquer Everest, Not Just a Mountain: 10 Tips to Mastering an Indian Language

India, a land of vibrant cultures and rich tapestry of languages, beckons you to explore its depths. But the key to unlocking its true magic lies in understanding its languages. Don't worry, mastering an Indian language isn't scaling Mount Everest – it's about taking the right steps and embracing the journey! Here are 10 tips to help you become an Indian language extraordinaire:

1. Find Your Everest: Choose the Language That Sparks Joy

With 22 official languages and countless dialects, India offers a linguistic feast. Do you crave the melodic lilt of Bengali or the rhythmic power of Tamil? Pick a language that ignites your passion. This intrinsic motivation will fuel your learning journey.

2. Befriend the Alphabet: Build a Strong Foundation

Every language has its building blocks. Familiarize yourself with the alphabet (Devanagari for many North Indian languages) and pronunciation. Use mnemonic devices or fun apps to make learning these characters engaging. Imagine them as stepping stones to fluency!

3. Embrace the Soundscape: Immerse Yourself in Audio Delights

Languages are symphonies of sound. Dive into the world of Indian music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Start with subtitles, then gradually transition to pure immersion. Notice the rhythm, intonation, and the music in the language itself.

4. Make it Movie Magic: Learn Through Laughter and Lights

Bollywood or regional cinema – who doesn't love a good Indian movie? Watch films with subtitles initially, then gradually remove them. The combination of visuals, audio, and emotions will make learning a joyful experience.

5. Find Your Tribe: Connect with Language Partners

Language thrives on interaction. Find language exchange partners online using some platform s like Hindustani tongue or join local meetups. Don't be afraid to make mistakes – embrace them as stepping stones to mastery.

6. Think Like a Local: Go Beyond Basic Phrases

Learning goes beyond memorizing greetings. Use flashcards with images and sentences to build vocabulary in context. Learn about local customs and slang – understanding the culture is key to using the language effectively.

7. Gamify Your Learning: Make it Fun and Interactive

Language learning apps, online games, and even creating your own challenges can keep things exciting. Reward yourself for milestones and track your progress to stay motivated.

8. Don't Be a Lone Ranger: Seek Help When Needed

Learning a language is a personal adventure, but don't hesitate to seek guidance. Enroll in online courses, find a tutor, or join language learning forums. A little help from a friend (or mentor) can go a long way.

9. Celebrate Every Milestone: Big or Small, Victories Matter!

Acknowledge your progress, no matter how small. Being able to order food in a restaurant or have a basic conversation is a cause for celebration.

10. Consistency is Key: Make Language Learning a Habit

Language mastery is a marathon, not a sprint. Dedicate short but consistent practice sessions each day. Integrate learning into your daily routine – listen to music on your commute or label objects in your house in the target language.

Conclusion

Learning an Indian language is more than acquiring vocabulary and grammar skills – it's a journey of cultural discovery. Embrace the adventure, celebrate your progress, and with these tips, you'll be well on your way to conquering your linguistic Everest. Remember, the most beautiful language is the one that allows you to connect with new people and experience the world in a whole new light. So, venture forth and start your Indian language odyssey today!

Sanskrit Language Course in Delhi NCR

Sanskrit is an ancient and sacred language of India that has been spoken and written for thousands of years. It is considered to be the mother of all languages and is known for its rich vocabulary and grammar. Sanskrit has played a significant role in shaping Indian culture and philosophy, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for many people around the world.

If you're interested in learning Sanskrit, you can enroll in a Sanskrit language course. These courses are designed to help learners gain a thorough understanding of the language, its grammar, and its literature. In this article, we'll discuss what you can expect from a Sanskrit language course. The first thing to understand about a Sanskrit language course is that it will likely be very different from any other language course you've taken before. Sanskrit is not a commonly spoken language, so you won't be focusing on speaking and listening skills as you would in a course for a more modern language. Instead, you'll be focusing on reading, writing, and understanding the language.

The structure of a Sanskrit language course will depend on the institution offering it, but most courses will cover some basic concepts. You'll likely start by learning the Devanagari script, which is used to write Sanskrit. This will involve learning the letters of the alphabet and how to write them. Once you're comfortable with the script, you'll move on to learning basic grammar rules. Sanskrit grammar is complex, but it's also very logical and systematic. You'll learn about things like noun declension, verb conjugation, and sentence structure. This will give you the tools you need to read and understand Sanskrit texts.

After you've learned the basics of the language, you'll start reading and analyzing Sanskrit texts. These texts can include ancient epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as philosophical texts like the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. Reading these texts can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. You'll get a glimpse into the rich history and culture of India, and you'll develop a deeper understanding of Sanskrit and its significance. One thing to keep in mind is that learning Sanskrit is not a quick or easy process. It takes time and dedication to become proficient in the language. However, the benefits of learning Sanskrit are numerous. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for Indian culture and philosophy, and you'll develop a new set of language and analytical skills that can be applied to other areas of your life.

If you're interested in learning Sanskrit, there are a few things you can do to get started. First, look for a reputable institution that offers Sanskrit language courses. Many universities and colleges offer courses in Sanskrit, and there are also online courses available. Make sure you choose a course that fits your schedule and learning style. Second, immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Listen to Sanskrit music or recitations, watch videos or movies with Sanskrit subtitles, and try to read as much Sanskrit as you can. This will help you develop your language skills and deepen your understanding of the language.

Finally, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language can be challenging, but it's also a lot of fun. Don't worry if you don't understand everything at first or if you make mistakes. With practice and dedication, you'll become more proficient in the language and develop a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Sanskrit. In conclusion, learning Sanskrit is a unique and rewarding experience that can open up new worlds of knowledge and understanding.

Langma School of Languages is one of the best foreign language institutes in Delhi, India. We offer more than 50+ foreign languages courses and classes online and offline in Delhi, India and other countries in the world. Some of them are English language classes, German language speaking course, Spanish language classes, Sanskrit language course, Japanese language coaching and so on.

Sanskrit Language is finding its way back to People’s Tongues

The letters and akharas used for creating Sanskrit are the most precise. It has already been incorporated into the Brahmi and Devanagari scripts. This is a global acknowledgment of the language, which even the computational language has adopted. Sanskrit has long been employed for therapeutic purposes, whether psychological or spiritual. The Globe accepted it and incorporated it into their daily lives through their practice of yoga and meditation. Many people are enrolling for Sanskrit courses online, where they can learn every aspect of the language in any form of communication.

One thing that makes Sanskrit different from other languages is its clarity. The fact that Sanskrit is not an object-specific language is among its most significant characteristics in this regard. Aspirant can take up Sanskrit course online helping to gain the insight of the traditional language.

Use of Clear Language in Today’s Time

Sanskrit has numerous words for the same object. Most people believe that this makes learning Sanskrit challenging because there isn’t consistency among the different terms that could be used to refer to a specific object. Though, it clarifies and narrows the meaning.

One of the significant examples of how Sanskrit is back in today’s time is its use at NASA. Since Sanskrit adheres to strict grammar rules and has an ordered syntax, it will be much more appropriate for use in artificial intelligence (AI) for space communication. The meaning remains the same even if you rearrange the words in a Sanskrit sentence. NASA has long expressed interest in Sanskrit. As a result, there is less ambiguity, even though Sanskrit never asks about the topic of ambiguity because words and sentences always mean the same thing.

Use of Sanskrit in AI

In AI, natural language is developed to strengthen logical relationships with scientific accuracy. The deployment of the Lisp language in the operation of AI presented numerous difficulties. Sanskrit is an accurate language, and as AI evolves, much progress needs to be made. By now, the program ought to be finished. The addition of Sanskrit is flawless and will undoubtedly give the work an advantage. The comment raised by NASA Sanskrit Correction is accurate, even though the agency has not yet released an official statement. It still needs to be determined how AI evolved and how it came to function like a human.

Use of Sanskrit in Art

Not just science but art is also adopting Sanskrit as a part of communication. At the Habitat International Film Festival in Delhi, many movies were shown, including the Sanskrit movie Taya. The film about a Namboodiri woman was presented at the international film festivals in Bengaluru and Kolkata, receiving a lot of positive feedback.

A film festival specifically for Sanskrit movies has been developed in response to the increase of powerful movies in the language. Rashtriya Sanskrit Chalachitra Utsav (Film Festival), the first Sanskrit film festival, was held in Ujjain to promote and honor Sanskrit cinema. A Sanskrit translation of the Spanish epic Don Quixote was unveiled when Luis Garca Montero, director general of the Instituto Cervantes in Spain, visited Delhi in July this year. The novel explores idealism vs. materialism, life and death, and other universal themes. Sanskrit experts Nityanand Shastri and Jagaddhar Zadoo translated the text. Eight chapters from the book’s first section are translated into contemporary Sanskrit in the current edition.

India’s PM Narendra Modi, too, pressed on the Sanskrit language learning. He named Irish national Rutger Kortenhorst, a Sanskrit scholar who teaches Sanskrit in Ireland. He also named professor Shriman Boris Zakharin, a Sanskrit teacher at Moscow State University in Russia, who successfully published many books and research papers while also mentioning the Sydney Sanskrit School in Australia, where the language is taught.

Sanskrit studies are now offered at several prestigious institutions in the country where the language originated, including the IITs and Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU).

Sanskrit — The Past and Future

One of the oldest languages still in use, Sanskrit has made a significant impact on the development of Indian culture and civilization. But even now, its elegance, reason, and nearly faultless construction have a worldwide allure. Sanskrit is used correctly in daily life and can give its user more imagination and creativity, clearer thinking, deeper attention, and better memory.

Sanskrit improves students’ ability and comprehension in science, math, and computers, as well as their self-awareness, speech clarity, language skills, and capacity for logical thought. Additionally, Sanskrit speaking course helps students develop a deeper understanding of who they are and the world around them. These are enduring traits.

Conclusion

One of the best ways to learn the deeper aspect of Sanskrit is by taking spoken Sanskrit classes from expert tutors. Sanskrit speaking course by Sanskrit Shiksha is the best medium to learn the language and bring it back in today’s time.

Marathi, the cool language of Maharashtra, is calling your name! But where do you even start? Don't worry, this guide has 10 awesome tricks to make learning Marathi way faster and more exciting. Buckle up, because we're turning language learning into an adventure!

1. Make Learning Devanagari Delicious: Learning the letters (Devanagari) can be tough. But who needs boring flashcards? Find websites that turn these letters into yummy Indian food! A curvy "v" (va) can look like a delicious "Vada," and a loopy "La" can look like a sweet "Laddu." Now learning becomes a tasty treat!

2. Sing While You Shop: Imagine being in a busy market, needing to ask for things to cook - "tomato" (Tomāto) and "ginger" (Ālan). Start with these shopping words and practice saying them while singing in the shower. Learning can be musical, you know!

3. Counting Cars on Your Commute: Stuck in traffic? Turn it into a Marathi counting game! Challenge yourself to count cars using Marathi numbers (one = Ek, two = Don). This way, even boring commutes become fun practice sessions.

4. Solve Riddles, Be the Mastermind: Marathi rhymes and riddles (Zoge) are packed with cool words and catchy sounds. Turn them into detective puzzles! Find recordings online and see if you can guess the answer before it's revealed. The more riddles you solve, the more words you'll learn, making you a Marathi riddle champion!

5. Secret Agent Speak at Home: Pretend your house is a secret Marathi hideout! Label things with their Marathi names - bed becomes "Palang," lamp becomes "Diva." This creates a secret language environment where you're the cool spy (of course!). The more you use it, the easier it gets.

6. Bollywood with Marathi Flavour: Love Bollywood movies? Take it up a notch by watching them with Marathi subtitles. This exposes you to everyday language in a fun and familiar way. You'll be surprised how much you pick up just by watching movies you already enjoy.

Fear not, language enthusiast! This guide unveils practical steps to equip you with basic conversational skills and unlock the beauty of spoken Hindi.

1. Embrace the Sounds:

Hindi boasts a unique sound system different from English. Familiarize yourself with the pronunciation of vowels like "a" (pronounced like the "u" in "but") and consonants with diacritics like "च" (cha) and "व" (va). Online resources like Hindustani Tongue and audio lessons can help you master these sounds. Practice speaking along with native speakers to refine your pronunciation.

2. Befriend the Devanagari Script:

Hindi is written in Devanagari, a beautiful script with its own set of characters. Don't be intimidated! Start by learning basic consonant and vowel forms. Numerous apps and online courses offer interactive lessons to help you grasp the script. With consistent practice, you'll be reading simple Hindi words in no time.

3. Start with Essential Phrases:

Focus on learning commonly used phrases for greetings, introductions, and everyday interactions. Phrases like "Namaste" (hello), "Mera naam hai..." (My name is...), "aap kaise hain?" (how are you?), and "Dhanyavad" (thank you) will equip you for basic conversations.

4. Immerse Yourself in Hindi Media:

Expose yourself to the spoken language through movies, songs, and TV shows. Start with content that has subtitles in your native language to help you connect words with their pronunciation. Gradually transition to Hindi subtitles to enhance your listening comprehension.

5. Find a Language Partner:

Practicing speaking is crucial for fluency. Look for online language exchange platforms or connect with native Hindi speakers in your community. Engaging in conversations, even basic ones, will boost your confidence and speaking skills.

6. Make Learning Fun:

Learning a language shouldn't feel like a chore. Play language learning games, listen to Hindi music, or read children's books in Hindi. Gamifying your learning experience keeps you motivated and engaged.

7. Don't Be Afraid to Make Mistakes:

Embrace mistakes as stepping stones to learning. Don't hesitate to speak Hindi even if you're not perfect. Native speakers will appreciate your effort and often be happy to correct you gently.

Conclusion:

Learning Hindi opens a door to a rich culture and fosters connections with millions of people. With dedication, these steps will guide you on your path to speaking Hindi with confidence. Remember, consistency is key. Start small, practice regularly, and celebrate your progress. Soon, you'll be conversing in the language of love and unlocking the magic of Hindi!
