Namaste,
I am planning to create course material for kids of the new millenium by in corporating conversational sentences that make use of common cartoons/ anime characters ,references to sports icons, major league games etc.
In my opinion this should reduce the resistance / inhibitions that that kids have towards learning samskrit and also remove the label of being a language only for religious books.
Towards this , I am also in the process of creating a software that can run from any mobile device and allow the learner to listen to the text being presented.
The software can read ANY text presented in devanagari unicode format.
I look forward to suggestions and criticism of this approach.
