LLPSI is the best language learning course ever made, for any language. It's worth pointing out, however, after saying so, that the difficulty curve goes up a lot in the second volume. It might be easier to try to find something from the Renaissance or Middle Ages to read between the two, but that, of course, depends on your prior experience.

Assimil Le Sanscrit
Not recommended as the only resource but as always there's good audio.

Carmody wrote:I am investigating whether or not to learn Sanskrit or Pali. So I know nothing of either language, however, my preliminary research suggests if I learn Sanskrit I will be reading primarily religious texts of Hinduism and if I learn Pali, I will be reading primarily texts of early Buddhism.
Am I wrong in those conclusions?
