I am really impressed that you are studying so many languages at same time. It reminds me
Expugnator, Serpent, Tarvos, Chung, Iversen among other members. Not many people can
manage to maintain or study several languages at same time. :D
Anyway, good luck with your studies! I will follow your Mandarin progress and German (if
you decide to write anything about it).

Sanskrit:
I revised Assimil lessons 1-6, dealing with basic vocabulary, a little bit of verb conjugation and noun declension:
Nagaram – town/city
Jalam – water
Phalam – fruit
Bāla – child
Bālaḥ paṭhati – a child reads
Bālo vadati – a child speaks [sandhi: -aḥ + v = 0]
paṭhāmi – I read
Bhagavadgītām paṭhāmi. - I read Bhagavatgita.
kim?/Kam? –What? Which?
paṭhasi – you read
kim paṭhasi? – what do you read?
Khādati – (he/she) eats

Sanskrit:
I revised 8-12 Assimil lessons today. There are more verb conjugation and noun declensions. I try to type at least
simplest words, but it's hard and I have no idea how to deal with ligatures.
Na (न) - negation
Adya - today
Kāla (काल)- black
Vana (वन)– forest
Vanād – from the forest (ablative)
bālāḥ (बाला:) - children
Bhavanti – (they) are
Kim paṭhāti bālaḥ - what does a child read?
Capalā bhavanti bālāḥ – children are instable
Krodhād bhavanti saṁmohaḥ - anger leads to bewilderment
Kutra vasasi? – where do you live?
Nagare vasāmi – I live in a city
gajāḥ śailānām vaneṣu vasanti – elephants live in the mountain forests
Paśyāmi – I see
Gacchāmi – I go
bālāḥ! Kutra gacchatha? – Children! Where do you go?

Hi Anya. I'm so interested in how you use the Illya Frank method to learn. Would love to read
more about your process in detail sometime :)

Hello, Anya.
Thank you for your visit. I too am going to follow your progress in Sanskrit with great interest.
I noticed you're using a couple of Assimil courses in Russian. When I started, I thought about using the new course in French, but finding a teacher put a stop to it.
It's a method I never followed, so I'm curious about your opinion of it.
I wish you may succeed with your other languages also.
