I wish I knew about this textbook when I first started studying Sanskrit. I great starter text for those wanting to study Sanskrit. Very clear and easy to follow. Exercise answers included in the book.

Some inconsistencies between exercises and answers, and a few errors too. However they're easy to recognise and to work out, e.g. an exercise asking you to translate the word 'deer' without specifying whether it should be singular or plural; an exercise using a show more singular but the answer using the pural.

Explanations of grammar very clear, exercises generally well constructed and useful- all around an excellent introduction.

I would give this book 5 stars if it weren't for the minor errors.
