Introduction:

Fortunately, Sanskrit pronunciation is very basic and simplistic and you can speak like a native in no time with a little concentration, hard work, and practice. The Sanskrit is good enough to tell you that your language skills are outstanding even if you have said only a couple of sentences and that they are truly pleased with their efforts if you manage to speak them in full grammar and intonation! That’s why Sanskrit is a fun language to learn.

To understand Sankṛit pronunciation, we have to visualize the mouth and how it creates different sounds. There are five distinct mouth positions where the energy of a particular Sankṛit sound originates: from back to front. 

The five mouth positions,the focal points of Sanskrit sounds are:

 अ – A

ई – i

ऋ – r

ल – l

उ – u

1. Practice Sanskrit Sound and writing:

First of all, we must begin with the sounds we can use. We analyze written Sanskrit ,. Improvement in these sections would accelerate the learning of the Sanskrit language effectively.

2. Concentrate on Practice:

You have to say words and phrases that you study loudly as much as possible while improving pronunciation. You can read, compose, and listen to CDs while you research yourself without saying something aloud. It is important for you to say new phrases aloud while listening repeatedly. It is a nice way to learn the language along with practising pronouncing.

One key concept is to speak Sanskrit and to compare them, if possible, with the voice of a native speaker. Perhaps you would like to find a record of a native speaker reading a novel, take it to read this section of the book and then attempt to read the text out loud. Multibhashi is an excellent place to experiment with different and authentic materials.

3. Ask native Sanskrit speakers for help:

If you talk to a Sanskrit person normally, your pronunciation is typically not corrected, unless a mistake changes the word entirely. If you have ever spoken in Hindi to someone and the native language of the other one is not Hindi, it is probably going to have some kind of emphasis. You’re always correcting them? Of course not! 

The Sanskrit speakers are the same; they won’t normally correct your poor pronunciation and are just concerned with your comprehension. However, they are just too pleased to assist you if you ask for help with particular terms and phrases from my experience. Just ask your Sanskrit friends if your pronunciation is wrong and ask them for their assistance in practicing.

4. Pay close attention to difficult sounds:

Fortunately, there aren’t many difficult sounds in Sanskrit, but some you need to pay attention to.

You know how all the sounds are pronounced! But word building is more than simply shooting these separate sounds into sentences. But there’s a lot of different Sanskrit words to pronounce with identifying the difficult words.

You’ll find great video analysis on difficult Sanskrit words on YouTube by different creators, which include more detail on vowels, including native speaker sound clips and mouth shaping while sounding. This method helps you learn and concentrates perfectly on your utterance.

5. Practice conversation daily:

Speak Sanskrit, preferably with native speakers, as much as you can. Listen to them, how their voice goes up and down, how the difficult sounds you described earlier are pronounced and repeated as best you might.

If you do not have a friend who speaks Sanskrit to help you out, you can exchange languages on various Online learning platforms such as Multibhashi. But you may also want to add a little professional assistance to your more relaxed, Sanskrit interactions so that you can capture all of the peculiarities of your speech and get your input improved immensely. Multibhashi can help you in both aspects to learn it perfectly.
