You want to learn Samskritam. Diver deeper into Bharatiya culture and Dharma. You are busy. Can I learn Samskritam? YES – it is QUICK and it is EASY.
How long will it take? 6 months to become familiar. 1 year to read comfortably and follow conversations.

How to decode संस्कृत shlokas?
The process is called अन्वयः
The natural order/connection of words in a sentence, reflecting grammatical order or relation - पदानां परस्पराकाङ्क्षा योग्यता च।
Once you learn basics of संस्कृतम्, Anvaya knowledge is critical to your progress👍🏼

“Sanskrit didn’t originate in India. It comes from Iraq & Mesopotamia”

Speaking Sanscreet 🗣
Indian accent is typically made fun of in Western popular culture
Lets reverse the gaze
Any non-native English/French Prof. is expected to have near-native language skill-levels
Can Indologists speak CORRECT Sanskrit with उच्चारणशुद्धिः?

Listening to his latest bilious regurgitation on ‘hindoo culture’ in the midst of a talk on Chandrayaan, its is clear that Hoodbhoy is a bigot & his facade of ‘a sophisticated international man of physics’ is quite a flimsy one

लकाराः । Lakaras। ‘VERB’ usages in Samskritam
For a beginner, Lakaras can be utterly confusing. Ask me!
Unless you are a lucky beginner, you go through months of ‘लकार’ confusion till it all slowly clears up. Then you wonder-‘what was that all about’?
But it needn’t be so..

१ Probably don’t know संस्कृतम्

Predictably, when there is evidence-based pushback from random twitter-charlies, scholars retreat into their ivory towers
Locks tweets & deletes the more egregious ones!

Quite an interesting observation!
śikṣā - study of phonetics, phonology & pronunciation highlights the throughly scientific & advanced structuring rules for sounds / vocalization in Samskritam
जयतु संस्कृतम् । जयतु भारतम्।
A few years ago, one of my senior friends met with an accident which lead to facial injuries. He practiced Samskrit letters as per the text Siddanta Kaumudi (अकुहविसर्जनीयानां कण्ठः... ) and recovered slowly from the injury.

Stunning levels of संस्कृतम् ignorance shown by a claimed ‘history’ specialist

Why is it त्रिनेत्र & not त्रिणेत्र ?
अविहितलक्षणो णत्वप्रतिषेधः क्षुभ्नादिषु द्रष्टव्यः ।
These words are ‘considered’ to be क्षुभ्नादि - hence त्रिनेत्र !
