In an Introduction to the Sanskrit Language, Robert P. Goldman and Sally J. Sutherland Goldman, provide a self-contained primer, workbook, and reader for teaching first-year Sanskrit to students with no previous linguistic training. The book provides clear explanations and examples of Sanskrit grammar, reinforcing the students' learning with graded drills, exercises, and readings. Students' grasp of the grammar and many of the fundamentals of traditional Indian culture is enhanced through study and memorization of the readings and verse, including a continuous graded retelling of the Ramayana. The book emphasizes the forms, rules, and lexical items most commonly encountered in the major texts. The third edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged. It features new and expanded grammatical explanations and enhanced exercises. New features include an English to Sanskrit glossary in addition to a Sankrit to English glossary and a general index.
