Do you want to read Indian classics in the original? Do you want to progress quickly beyond the basics? Do you want to reach a high standard? ‘Teach Yourself Sanskrit’ is not only a primer, but also a work of scholarship, for the book contains much original material on Sanskrit syntax and usage. The carefully graded chapters explain Sanskrit grammar and style with exceptional clarity. The text includes an introduction to the nāgarī script, a useful explanation of how to use Sanskrit commentaries, plenty of examples from actual Sanskrit works, extensive vocabularies into and out of Sanskrit and a full key to all the exercises.
