The step by step approach to forming sentences and the detail in which we learnt were most valuable.

The topics covered have helped me read Sanskrit with greater fluency and understanding than before. The Sambhashanam practice was also enjoyable. The worksheets helped to reinforce what we covered in class. I also enjoyed the reading exercise that we did to practice Sandhi.
