Introduction

The Sanskrit language is a classical language of South Asia belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. It arose in South Asia after its predecessor languages had diffused there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age. Sanskrit is the sacred language of Hinduism, the language of classical Hindu philosophy, and of historical texts of Buddhism and Jainism. It was a link language in ancient and medieval South Asia, and upon transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia, East Asia and Central Asia in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture, and of the political elites in some of these regions. As a result, Sanskrit had a lasting impact on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies.

Sanskrit belongs to the Indo-European family of languages.

1.Try using Sanskrit words even in your mother language.

 After all Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. Let the children associate with their Mom and have their foundations strengthened! And in process, your road to mastery of Sanskrit will also be traversed faster.

2.Use the Best Apps and Resources

Set your pace and schedule There are so many apps out there that focus on daily lessons designed to fit a pace that the learner is comfortable with. Want to jump right into hour-long lessons? Go for it! Only want to spare 15 minutes a day? This is doable. But if you want to really get a handle on Sanskrit in four weeks, we suggest practicing Sanskrit and studying for 30 minutes a day at a minimum—aim for more study-time whenever you can!

3.Use apps to get you started

Sanskrit -learning tools and apps allow you to study wherever you are. Make use of that commute or replace your morning newspaper for a month with these, instead.

4.Talk to yourself in Sanskrit 

If you can’t find any online friends to help you practice Sanskrit, you can even talk to yourself. Not by yourself, but to yourself. As crazy as that sounds, expressing your thoughts in Sanskrit can help you master the language faster. If you prove to be persevering, you’ll soon discover that you will be able to form a line of thought directly into the Sanskrit language.

5.Train your ears with TV series, movies, music, or short videos in Sanskrit

Watching Sanskrit movies, TV series, short videos, or listening to Sanskrit music doesn’t sound like such drudgery, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what you’ll have to do in order to train your ears for the  Sanskrit  language. So do some research, choose what suits you best, and speak Sanskrit like you never knew you could!

6.Use flashcards for those Sanskrit words that can’t seem to stick 

Some Sanskrit words just won’t stick. A lot of people know your pain. We’ve all been there. Luckily, flashcards will do the trick. Put down on sticky notes the most stubborn words and make sure you’ll see them every day (by the bed may be a good place for them). Before you know it, you’ll find yourself mastering the very Sanskrit words that caused you headaches just a while ago.

7.Leave Your Comfort Zone

Willingness to make mistakes means being ready to put yourself in potentially embarrassing situations. This can be scary, but it’s the only way to develop and improve. No matter how much you learn, you won’t ever speak a language without putting yourself out there: talk to strangers in the language, ask for directions, order food, try to tell a joke. The more often you do this, the bigger your comfort zone becomes and the more at ease you’ll be in new situations.

8.Listen

Out of all our language-learning tips, this one might be the most straightforward. But really, it can’t be emphasized enough: You need to learn to listen before you can learn to speak. Every language sounds strange the first time you hear it. The more you expose yourself to it, though, the more familiar it becomes, making it easier to speak and comprehend.
