The easiest way to learn

A language is to begin to use it. Even if I don’t know the words to form a complete sentence, Sanglish is fine. I tweetaami and wait for the time when I will be able to use proper Sanskrit. There are several mantras we are familiar with in everyday life. Usually, though not always, they are simple to understand. Problems arise because Sanskrit has this tendency of a word flowing over into the next, through rules of grammar. Once one knows how to break them up into individual words, it becomes simpler to understand. After having broken up, I have always found it easier to pinpoint the verb first. Everything else follows then.
