Sanskrit by CD is our complete program for learning Sanskrit. The lessons offer an introduction to the language through the teaching of the alphabet and sanskrit pronunciation, plus more indepth study of simple sandhi (combination of sounds), vocabulary, noun and verb forms.
Broken into 12 lessons, Sanskrit by CD is designed according to modern language with oral drills, grammatical explanations, and written exercises. Followed by our Subscription programs, and aided by the Sanskrit Atlas 1.0 for reference, this program will have you reading ancient Sanskrit literature in its original form.
