Since your question is relevant to the group, I'm sending my reply to
the group as well.
To learn sanskrit, I'd recommend samskrita bharati lessons as they are
the very intuitive. Nowadays, in India, the UGC has adopted
their style of teaching for spoken sanskrit. Many major univs in India
now offer similar 1 month courses.
Learning sanskrit online requires discipline on your part as there is no
curriculum and no one to force you to do exercises. A while ago,
all the samskrita bhArati course material (including lessons and
exercises) were put online. They are available at
http://sanskrit.gde.to/
when you click on learning tools.
This group helps people who have a bit of sanskrit knowledge including
vibhaktis, simple sentence construction etc. But novices shouldn't
abandon this group because it gives them the motivation to learn sanskrit -
rasAsvAdana.

Would one expect visarga to change to .s in cak.su.h + prakaa"sa
(cak.su.sprakaa"sa) in the yoga suutram 3.21? Even if it does not change
and remains written as visarga, would (could) it be pronounced as .s?
