Though it was in Cambridge, MA, not UK, I can't resist mentioning that for some of us, we started with Edward Delaven Perry's A Sanskrit Primer (based on Georg Buhler's work), before venturing into the heights of Lanman.

In the USA, Lanman's A Sanskrit Reader was, for a century or more, the de facto standard for beginning Sanskrit students (this has changed only in recent decades with the appearance of Goldman and Goldman, Scharf, Hock, etc).

Is there an equivalent introductory text that was used in Europe (Stenzler?)  Do European Sanskrit students also work with Nala as a first text (which I know is found in Bopp, Boehtlink, Monier-Williams, Stenzler, and Lanman)?

Thanks...I'm just looking for a bit of anecdotal evidence here; any comments will help.
