Dear all,

Apologies for sending around something that likely is relevant to only some of you. 

You may already know my Cambridge Introduction to Sanskrit; given I have been back in Germany for the past couple of years and have been teaching in German, I have written a German-medium textbook, and that has now finally come out. It is accompanied by a complete set of videos and online flashcards, as well as by various grammar posters and overview handouts. 

I published it directly via Amazon, which is morally questionable, but otherwise so much easier than the traditional route. Until the end of the month, I can sell it at production cost. It also means I fully retain the copyright, and I am very happy to give my raw files to anyone here who would like to translate and adapt the book into a language that does not have its own Sanskrit textbook yet (I have created an informal translation of the book into English, and translation efforts into Farsi and Spanish are already underway: let me know if you want to join).

All relevant links included below. Any questions or requests for resources you may want to have for your introductory Sanskrit classes (incl. in English, of course), please let me know?

All my best,
    Antonia


The books are available wherever there is Amazon:
Textbook: ISBN 979-8172136658
Workbook: ISBN 979-8177455945

The videos are available on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@Study_Sanskrit/playlists, playlist 'Sanskrit auf Deutsch') and on Vimeo (which requires login and, if you are in the EU, a one-time proof of age, but does not insert ads into the videos; email me for the access links).

The flashcards are available on brainscape.com: open a free account, and with that open in one browser tab, click on these links: 
Vocab: https://www.brainscape.com/p/16X72-LH-DR8XO
Nominal forms: https://www.brainscape.com/p/16X72-LH-D195V
Verb forms: https://www.brainscape.com/p/16X72-LH-D19DX

(If you're using the Brainscape app, you still need to unlock these on the website.)

For pdfs of the posters (nagari; nominals; verbs; sandhi) and other overview handouts, just email me.

I will teach a course based on these materials starting in January: https://www.antoniaruppel.de/sanskrit/
