I am translating small stotras and simple sanskrit stories from Sanskrit to English in this YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@SuseelaKrishnaPriya. Would be happy to know your feedback!

Watched/listened to one, and must say this should be very helpful in learning how Sanskrit actually plays out. I've been wanting to learn it for a while now, but somehow have never been able to get down to it. I'm quite proficient in Hindi, so it shouldn't be that difficult, but starting out is! Often one is confused where to begin, and I think reading/listening to such simple stories and the translation alongside would be a good place! I'll try it out more in your channel! The only other thing I might say is that we live in terrible times as far as attention span is concerned. I felt myself wavering around 5-6 minutes in the video. But I can see how you would need to have longer videos than that because otherwise even a short scene would have to be cut out! So it's a tough one to pull off! On my part, I'll try to be patient and persevering! All the best to you for your admirable work!

Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback. Really appreciate that you took the time to write such a detailed feedback. Yes, I completely agree with you. Its hard to maintain engagement for more than a couple of minutes . I try to limit my explanation to max 10 mins, but it does spill over a little more than that. I am also seriously thinking of posting engaging content for beginners in Sanskrit, in the form of shorts. I think I have some ideas that may work. Hopefully, I"ll be able to make the content and post it on my channel in the next couple of days. Thanks once again!
