Wow! This is super thorough and well organized. Im moving to India soon and I have started to study Hindi. I will be going through this video series to help me learn to read. Appreciate you putting this together!
This is actually so much fun... I tried to practice reading them and I got so angry because the pronunciation is pretty stupid with some of them, but writing them, and taking my time, and slowly incorporating the pronunciation gives me enough rest and freedom to enjoy it.
Thank you so much for this series of videos. They go at the perfect pace for me to watch, practice writing in my own, and go on to the next video with the last lesson memorized. I found it so hard to self pace/self motivate myself with just books and flash cards. Your video pacing is perfect for learning. Such a valuable resource for people who need to learn to read Devanagari before learning sanskrit (I am Chinese myself and am only familiar with the Latin alphabet and hanzi Chinese characters).
Thank you for the whole course! I tried to complelty comprehend devanagri for few years, but only this course finally got the job done 👍 See you in Goloka Vrindavan 🙏
thanks for explaining it with the descriptors "guttural", "palate" and "labial", other methods are confusing for me and i end up putting sounds of chinese into my russian/hindi, which is definitely not what i want to do, this helped me remember the i sound specifically :D
With devanagari letters in these lectures, can people be prepared for Hindi and Sanskrit, both learning? (we don't need separate devanagri learning for Hindi and Sanskrit?) Thanks!
Hare Kṛṣṇa! Oh very nice! I've always wanted to learn devanagari but never had a simple/clear resource to learn from! How many videos do you think it will take to complete the course?
Hare Krishna, prabhu! So far, my syllabus consists of 30 videos. The first eleven videos are on the alphabet, the from Episode 12 to 20 are about learning to write and read words. Episode 20 to 25 is reading practice, while Episodes 26 through 30 will be on writing practice.
It will make better sense to go on the advice at 16:15 for ALL vowels, since the mouth is only used to make consonants. In the case of vowels, soft palate or other areas may be used for resonance but the actual sound always originates in the throat - only a very bad vocalist would need the lips to make an ऊ sound, for example (see Contemporary Vocalist Course by Jeannie Deva for more information).
I wanted to know if it is possible to get what is known as a 'schwa' vowel in Devanagari - which I could describe as a shortened version of the 'eur' in French 'fleur'; and also what I'd view as the most commonly occurring vowel in English pronunciation.
Finally, it is super easier to learn to read Devanagari. Thank you very much for such an amazing video course. I appreciate it a lot!
You have a very good system here, and you started me on the road to learning Devanagari script/Sanskrit. धन्यवानः !

Great material! It's been difficult for me to find any decent learning source. My husband is Indian and I'd love to learn his language.

the way you are teaching handwriting is not the way i was taught in India or in duolingo, for starters the bar on top is always drawn last.
