Introduction to Sanskrit: Part 2 (Part II)

Probably best book for leaning Sanskrit through English. Plus point of this book is that it contents original Sanskrit text in Devanagari along with its English translation. Author also seems to be very well versed with Sanskrit sources/culture.

Classic - recommended for all students of Sanskrit. This is the book for all those who want to learn Sanskrit.

Great book.

Ce livre est à conseiller. Evidemment il faut avoir "étudié" le premier volume pour profiter pleinement des explications données. C'est un livre qui convient très bien pour "auto- didactes". A conseiller pour personnes voulant apprendre le Sanskrit à leur ritme . Et ceci en se "plongeant" dans les textes millénaires de la Bhagavad Gita. Une expérience unique!

The author uses interesting verses from chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita to provide the basis for bettering one's understanding of Sanskrit vocabulary and grammar. This would seem to be a good choice, as many authors consider chapter 2 to be a sort of introduction to the rest of the Bhagavad Gita. I find it useful to go online and hear each verse chanted. After I hear a verse, I then memorize it. It is also useful to read the analysis of each verse online. An improvement of volume 2 over volume 1 is the presence of a general index in the back of the book. This index covered volume 1 as well as volume 2. The general index also uses English grammatical terms such as "imperative" rather than the Sanskrit terms employed in the separate grammatical index. The only concern that I might express is that the author uses a different Devanagari font than that used in volume 1. I should note, however, that the version of the letters with a different font is shown on p.71 of volume 1.

Fast delivery, very nice! The best book to learn sanskrt.

Zweifellos die beste Einführung in diese schwierige Sprache. Während Part 1 Egenes in einem sehr gemütlichen Tempo vorangeht, zieht's hier richtig los. Band 1 sind überwiegend Drill-Übungen zu den Substantiv-Formen. Wenn man selbst-motiviert ist, die Schriftzeichen vielleicht schon auswendig kann und in der Lage ist, ein Dutzend Tabellen auswendigzulernen, dann könnte man Band 1 sparen und gleich mit Band 2 anfangen. Das Vokabular und auch die Grammatik-Tabellen von Band 1 sind hier nämlich freundlicherweise mitabgedruckt. Ich fand die Drill-Übungen von Band 1 zu langweilig. Band 2 ist richtig gut und man liest (und versteht!!!) ein paar Verse der Gita. Allerhöchste Empfehlung !!!

Ottimo, un corso con spiegazioni chiare e semplici! Anche se in lingua inglese, è di facile lettura!
