What will be covered in the 9-day Boot Camp?
On completion of the Boot Camp, participants will be able to use the basic building block of the language to speak and understand simple Samskrit sentences. This will bootstrap and help accelerate the study of Shastra.

The Boot Camp is for adults with a working knowledge of an Indian regional language. Please bring your enthusiasm, and plan to participate actively. No preparation is required.
Note: The Boot Camp does not require knowledge of the devanagari (hindi) script. However, the follow-up weekly class do require the ability to read devanagari. Our textbook will be in devanagari.

No, there will be no required homework.
You are of course encouraged to practice your newly learned skills with other participants when opportunities present themselves.
Should I bring a notebook and pen?
