here are a some links that might be of assistance to sanksrit learners…

This is a good introduction , it covers basic setences and grammar and leads into conversations. Audio for parts of the courses can be downloaded and played using realmedia player.

For those interesed in the bahagavad geeta the follwing link has the full audio chanting (620 megs) for the 18 chapters. The sanksrit audio is interspersed with english translations and commentry.The pdfs come in most of the major languages.

If you find that the english translations inhibit listening to the chanting then download from the link below ( about 120 megs)

the audio from both sites is of high quality and the chanting is clear .

glad to find some sanskrit learners. Im at a very early stage—im familiar with the script now and can read it albeit slowly .
I know of a chanting course which seems to be a yoga based method .Hard finding audio for sanksrit , id prefer to learn conversational sanskrit to begin with .

Would like to hear more about the course you picked up at the fair rikhi and how you are faring with it .

good luck to all the learners :)
