Introduction:
Sanskrit is an old language, primarily linked to the old cultural heritage of Bhartiya, and plays a special role in our literature. Language learning is therefore one of the greatest accomplishments. With this language, we can learn more about our Indian culture and traditions, which can enhance our soul’s light. It is immense with vast knowledge about the ancient culture and traditions which benefits every individual for learning.
Speaking and listening to the language as much as possible is the best resource for understanding any language.
So, if you want to develop your Sanskrit listening skills, you should use the method (way) that best suits your needs. Some people learn best in a classroom setting, while others tend to practice individually.
In Sanskrit, language listening is one of the key aspects of learning, if you don’t identify the words by hearing you cannot easily read and write them.
Things to know
-
Study a little bit at a time.
Sanskrit is an ancient language and it requires deep concentration to interpret the phrases, words, and sentences. According to my, focusing on a particular period of time is better than investing more time and gaining nothing and You can split your task however you like, but keep in mind that each task should last no more than 20 minutes.
There have been several research studies that show that learning 15 to 30 minutes a day is far superior to memorize hundreds of new terms and grammar rules in a single day.
This will improve your listening day by day and overburden will not be a major concern between your learning.
-
Listen to the same Sanskrit audios every day for a week.
You can start by looking for interesting or entertaining Sanskrit audios and picking one episode at a time. For a week, listen to the episode while driving, riding the bus, cleaning the dishes, etc. In the first and second days, look up any words or phrases that are difficult to understand. Don’t forget to hit “pause” and listen again.
Identifying words while listening is one of the most important signs of improving listening. This will create a better understanding rather than only listening to language.
With so much practice, you’ll find that you understand a lot more than you did on the first day. As your ear responds to hearing these Sanskrit audios, it will become easier to progressively listen to new Sanskrit audios.
-
Read and listen at the same time.
Another way to enhance your listening abilities is to use two information sources simultaneously.
It just means you should not just listen; you should also get your language from a different place at the same time.
The most straightforward method is to watch a Sanskrit video with subtitles. You’ll be listening to and reading the words this way, which will make it easier for you to understand more and help you remember more.
-
Listen to yourself.
You’re already listening to yourself whether you’re having a conversation with yourself in the mirror or in your mind. Listening abilities in Sanskrit can be improved by using your own language.
Listening to your own voice is a fantastic way to improve your listening skills. If you’ve been listening to Sanskrit for a while, you’re probably familiar with how it sounds. You’ve probably learned a lot of words that you can use in your imaginary conversations, and if you need help pronouncing a word you don’t know in Sanskrit, you can always ask your native speaker.
-
Join a conversation group
After all of this practice, you’re able to put your new listening skills to use. But how do you do it?
Joining a community of Sanskrit learners who host a conversation table is a great way to start. Conversation groups meet on a daily basis, but they are not classes. You are not required to attend every week; the aim is to converse (talk) in Sanskrit.
You can also choose an online learning platform such as Multibhashi in which you will find vast ideas not only to improve your listening skills but also improve your Sanskrit language skills at the same time. You will be interacting with a group of learners who are beginners or intermediate to Sanskrit language and listening to them will be a great lesson on your learning journey.
