Learning Samskrita Thread

[OneWithTheSerpent]

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to start this thread and share my knowledge of the holy Samskrita language.

Something to note is that Samskrita is often paired with an English translation for how to pronounce the letters. What’s important is to learn and recognize the pronunciation for the Samskrita letters and not rely on the English translation. It will lead to double the work and make things harder down the road as we learn words, which phrases and sentences.

I’ve found good examples of how to pronounce the alphabet to post below. Knowing the difference between hard vs soft vowels is also important, and will make things easier down the road.

That’s a cool video! Some of his pronunciations sound different than what I was taught, but there are different dialects of Samskrta.

I posted this at work today on lunch so I was in a rush and didn’t have a chance to find a video I liked to attach. I’ll link a video that I found helpful down below. She explains more of where the sounds come from in the mouth and also the long and short pronunciations together, as well as the history of the language being called Samskrta originally. Hope this helps!
