SDLC 105 Learning Journal #2

I am very motivated to learn Sanskrit from a personal perspective. After living in Nepal and learning Nepali, I became very passionate about Eastern culture. Sanskrit is the root of many Asian languages and there are so many similarities between what I learned in Nepali and the Sanskrit roots. Learning the language will allow me to explore much more about the religious culture surrounding the language including interpretation of religious texts. I am also very interested in the relationship between Western yoga practices and the large vocabulary of Sanskrit words used in the practice. In my language learning plan, I have focused mostly on the ability to read Sanskrit rather than the spoken language. I want to be able to read and understand simple grammar and roots that will help with learning other languages, master the devanagari script that Sanskrit is commonly written in, and learn a vocabulary for yoga practices. After receiving feedback, I chose to focus more closely on the written approach rather than on speaking the language through conversation.
