CLASS INFORMATION

 

Adult Level Class Information

  • Level 1 Class: This class is offered to adults who have no or limited prior knowledge of Samskritam. By default, all NEW students are expected to register into Level 1 classes. Only few exceptions are considered on a case by case basis after evaluating their samskritam speaking skills.

 

  • Level 2, 3, 4 and 5 Classes: These classes are offered to returning students (adults) who have previously attended Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 classes conducted by Samskrita Bharati

 

  • Starting this year, the L4 syllabus is split into two years i.e., L4-Part1 and L4.

    • L4- (Part I only) - 1:30-3:00 pm class will cover half of the lessons from the Bhashaa PraveshaH II book with focus on more abhyaasaH. All current L3 students should be registering for L4- (Part I only).
       

    • L4 - 3:00-4:30 pm class will cover all the lessons  from the Bhashaa PraveshaH II book with focus on more abhyaasaH. This class is designed for current L4 students or returning previous L4 students, who feel the need to study the lessons of Bhashaa PraveshaH II book again to gain further understanding of the lessons and feel comfortable prior to entering L5 class.

  • Students intending to register for Level 3, 4 and 5 classes will need to ensure that they have sufficient proficiency on the concepts covered in the previous levels. This will be necessary to absorb the advanced concepts and instruction on par with other students. If you need guidance on selecting the advanced classes, please check with your current instructor prior to registering.

 

  • Adult Lipi Class: This is an optional class offered free of cost, only to the students who registered for regular Samskritam class (Level 1 to 2).  This class will help gain knowledge of the Devanagari lipi (Samskritam script).  Please note that knowledge of Devanagari Lipi is NOT expected for L1 classes but starting L2 classes, it is mandatory.  So, it is best to get started early  so that you are ready when you get to L2 class. If you are interested in only lipi (dēvanāgarī), then please follow the link for 'bhUmikaa' classes through Distance Learning Program (DLP)

 

  • If you are unsure about which Level you need to register or have any questions ,  please contact your instructor of Samskrita Bharati or email virginia@samskritabharatiusa.org

Children Level Class Information

  • Children class level depends on two factors.  (a) the Public school grade that the child is attending and (b) number of years that the child studied Samskritam at SB Samskrita Kendram.
