Dear Klaus,
An excellent endeavour.
Where can one see your word list.
I am also doing such an an exercise to enable
me and wife to converse in Sanskrit more fluently.
Our mother tongue is MARATHI a major Indian language.
So it is Marathi to Sanskrit.
The beauty of Sanskrit is in LAGHUTVA. Few words for great
meaning.
We are, therefore, trying to avoid the temptation to bring Marathi
construction in our Sanskrit conversation.
There are several Sanskrit >> English or Marathi and English
>>Sanskrit dictionaries.
But hardly any Marathi >> Sanskrit
During and after this effort our Sanskrit conversation
has vastly improved.
Your name indicates that your mother tongue is likely to be
German.
Am I right?
Keep it up and
Keep in touch.
