Samskrita Bharati's conversational model works - I just wish I had more time for doing the homework. But I still managed to keep up (barely!). They has a four day residential retreat at the end of Aug. I am hoping to attend that. Perhaps that will jumpstart my interest and get me going. Their books are pretty decent, and i use them to brush up on some of the things we discuss in class. Very refreshing.

When we learn by ourselves we just don't labor consistently enough (especially when you have kids) and of course, we miss the tips and the easier routes that gurus would know. Ha, if only i had been serious enough when my grandpa was running behind me to teach me...

Then as an adult, I attended Samskrita Bharathi Speak Sanskrit in 10 days course in the Bay Area. The latter is a totally fun way, makes Sanskrit very approachable and will motivate you to learn more Sanskrit. I highly recommend Samkritha Bharathi for learning Sanskrit.
