We learn to read Sanskrit. There are many resources available on the web that will help you to learn read, write and speak in Sanskrit. The main aim of this guide is to teach you reading Sanskrit. Not writing or speaking. However, while learning to read Sanskrit you will also learn to write in Devanagari script - at least we hope.
Viewersinterested in keeping a copy of the lessons for off-line reference may downloadthe lessons on to their systems. Off-line reading will require additional software to view the text in Devanagari. Also, theoff-line versions of the lessons will not allow interactive learning. Thisis not a serious limitation however.Spoken Sanskrit Lessons Pdf Online

Sanskrit Basics Pdf
1. HTML format
This format is very convenient for off-line viewing using a standardweb browser such as Netscape 4.5 or Internet Explorer 4.X or higher. Viewingthe lessons in HTML requires that appropriate fonts for Devanagari and Roman diacritics beinstalled in the systems. The fonts have been made available at this siteIITM Fontsand so this should not pose a problem. Please download the iitmsans and iitmipafonts suited to your system (Windows, Linux or Mac). However, installingfonts on systems may not always be a smooth affair and so viewers are requestedto familiarize themselves with the fonts installation process appropriateto their systems. Each lesson is available as one file with all the subsectionsput together.
Viewers mayalso be interested in preparing text in Devanagari. The multilingual editoris ideally suited for this purpose. A copy of the editor is available for free download from this site. When you install the editor, the relevant fontswill be available for offline reading of the lessons.

3. PDF format
Thisformat is sufficiently universal and the Acrobat Reader on a system willbe adequate to view the lessons off-line. There are a few shortcomingswith this format of the lessons with respect to the presentation. The lessonsare presented in one single file for each lesson and so the convenience of the presentation as in these pages will be lost. However, this format offers the flexibility to view the lessons on almost all computers including the Macintosh. There is not need to install any fonts for Devanagari.
