Is hindi (or some other Indian language
related to Sanskrit) your native language?
If that's the case, it might be a slight disadvantage
in learning Sanskrit. A bit like myself trying to translate
Estonian (which for Finns sounds like "funny" Finnish; for
Estonians Finnish sounds like "old-fashioned" Estonian)
without consulting a dictionary.
For instance, in Estonian 'kulli' (hawk's) is the possessive form
of the word 'kull' which means 'hawk'. In Finnish, 'kulli'
is vulgar for penis (cock, dick, etc.)...
