Over the past three decades, Samskrita Bharati has continued to refine its direct teaching approach to make the learning process easy and effective. It derives its strength from a child's natural ability to learn native languages - be it English, French, German or Te Reo.

A child is first exposed to the language(s) spoken by people around it. Through this immersion, he/she becomes familiar with the sounds and words of the language. As familiarity with words and constructs increase, the child begins to utter its first broken sentences. Before long, fluent sentences follow naturally. Over time, he/she acquires the ability to read and write.

The direct approach to language learning is thus a four-stepped process: listen-speak-read-write. The same applies to adults also.

Samskrita Bharati's teaching methodology is structured around this principle. The effectiveness of this approach hardly needs any mention. Our individual experience in learning our native language stands as a testament.
