At first when we look, the book seems progressive, the first 15 lessons are devoted to introduce the 8 cases smoothly, Lesson 39 is based on Kalidasa Shakuntala, lessons 64-69 on the Bhagavad Gita and lessons 71 78 on Pañchatantra. But after twenty lessons, everything is accelerating nominal compounds extending, verbal abundance parachuted without time to digest ... The text is in Devanagari but interlinear transcripts with pre-sandhi form in the book full distracts from it. The dialogues are boring, there's no humor. 30 minutes a day with the Assimil methods! Here I am rather at 2: copy the texts in iTranslator 2003 for Devanagari and separate transcripts and annotate the vocabulary and grammar ... And recordings, they could be useful but they are so slow with pauses everywhere, it makes you want not the [re] listen. The book is not up to the richness of the Sanskrit language, it would have to do both.
