Learn the Sanskrit alphabet and the Devanagari script properly — every sound, every sign — until you can read aloud and write with ease.
Everything in Sanskrit rests on the script. A learner who reads slowly, or who is unsure of a conjunct letter, finds grammar and texts tiring. A learner who reads fluently finds them a pleasure.
This course teaches the Sanskrit alphabet (varṇamālā) as it is traditionally arranged — by where and how each sound is produced — and then builds reading and writing in small steps: single letters, vowel signs, conjuncts, words, sentences and finally verses.
Flexible start
One-to-one classes can begin at any time. Days and timings are agreed with you, around school hours, work and your time zone. Small-group batches are formed as learners at the same level enrol; tell us your preferred days and we will let you know the next batch.
The total number of classes is planned with you. As a guide, learners progress best with regular live classes each week and a short period of practice on most days — reading aloud, revising forms or reciting. The weekly plan is agreed in the counselling session.
The Sanskrit alphabet is not arranged at random. Consonants are grouped by the place in the mouth where they are produced, moving from the throat forward to the lips: ka-varga, ca-varga, ṭa-varga, ta-varga and pa-varga. Learning the letters in this order teaches pronunciation at the same time, and later makes sandhi rules much easier to understand.

Perhaps only part of it. Hindi readers usually need practice with conjunct letters, visarga, the vowel ṛ and the pronunciation of the final 'a' sound, which Hindi drops but Sanskrit keeps. We assess this in the first session and shorten the course accordingly.
Yes. Children, including those growing up outside India, can learn the script with shorter and more playful sessions. A parent or guardian makes the enquiry and is kept informed of progress.
If you wish. The international transliteration system (IAST) is useful for typing and for reading academic books, and can be included.
