Frequently Asked Questions:
- Who is this course for?
This course is primarily meant for children aged 5-12 to learn Sanskrit letters and words from scratch. - Is parental guidance required?
Yes parental guidance is recommended. - Will there be any classes?
Yes there will be weekly sessions through zoom. - How long is the course for?
The course (each level) is normally for 6 months but the child may learn at its own pace. - Are there any additional levels?
Yes, there will be 3-4 levels, however this is the first level (which is to learn to read and write the alphabets, and pronounce them correctly when used in words). - How will the child know how to pronounce and write by attending an online course such as this?
Practice at home (with parental guidance) to read and write as given in the lessons will be required in addition to attending the weekly class. - Will there be any books that are required to be bought?
We will follow the Ayanam series of books (which will be explained by the teacher in the first class), in addition a practice book like ‘Sukekhāvalī’ to practice writing the aksharas (alphabets) may help. - How can my child register for the course?
You will need to submit this form first (for registering for Ānanda Level 1), this will put the student in a waiting list and will be contacted when the next batch is about to start. - My child has completed the Level 1 course – what’s next?
