I was reading through some old discussion threads, when I came across this:

http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=17424&PN=1&TPN=4

"Sanskrit is, according to the director of the American Sanskrit Institute, very, very easy to learn if approached from the right angle. As a scholarly subject, taught in the same was as languages are taught in schools, it becomes a "killer class" with huge drop-out rates. Taught as a living breathing experience it is supposedly much easier. "

What is this "right angle" to learn Sanskrit from? I've read it over and over again, but never quite understood the quasi-religious description of learning it, like how it describes Sanskrit as vibrating. If I know what this "right angle" is, then I can hopefully apply it to Lithuanian, another very conservative Indo-European language, and hopefully to all other languages.
