Best books to learn Learn Sanskrit, in order
Sanskrit is a highly inflected classical language, so method and order are everything. Begin with a modern textbook that drills the Devanagari script and the sandhi rules, work systematically through the grammar with a good primer (Lanman or Ruppel), then graduate to reader anthologies and finally the classical texts. Rushing to the Gita before the grammar guarantees frustration.
