Dear Harry,

The chapters going with the video Tim mentioned are available as pdf a download online:

https://www.cambridge.org/de/universitypress/subjects/religion/buddhism-and-eastern-religions/cambridge-introduction-sanskrit?format=HB&isbn=9781107088283#resources

The code to freely use the flash cards going with them is www.brainscape.com/p/16X72-LH-49PH8 . (You need to open a free account first and then use this code.)

This isn't a book, but a website, but in my view it's the best resources available for practicing devanagari online:

Hope this helps!

Dear Harry,

As far as downloadable (work)books are concerned, I find these two volumes very good:

https://arshaavinash.in/index.php/download/sanskrit-devanagari-alphabet-study-book-vol-2-conjunct-consonants/

Dear Harry,

 

I suggest:

 

Lessons 1 and 2 of Adheesh Sathaye and Tim Bellefleur’s website https://ubcsanskrit.ca/, which was designed to complement देववाणिप्रवेशिका  (the textbook by Bob and Sally Sutherland Goldman)

 

and:

 

The video to accompany Chapter 1 of Antonia Ruppell’s Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit https://www.cambridge-sanskrit.org/video-resources/ > direct link

 

Best,

Tim Lubin

Dear list members,
