Micro-Certificate in Fluent Samskritam Speaking (MCFSS) | HUA
The Micro Certificate in Spoken Samskritam (MCSS) is a four-quarter 6-credit-hour, leisurely exploration of Samskritam as a spoken language. It prepares students who are familiar with the Samskritam (aka "Sanskrit") DevanAgarii script but have lacking fluency in conversational aspects to attain a level of Conversational Proficiency through simple situations and skits.
There is a tremendous sense of satisfaction that comes from mastering any new language, no matter the language. Every new word you learn brings an increased sense of achievement and, as students successfully learn to memorize vocabularies, master the fundamental rules of grammar and begin to construct complete sentences, each one is a significant achievement similar to advancing in the game.
Every test and quiz that is that is passed successfully can trigger an endless cycle of virtuousness that leads the student to greater success. If the language being learned is Samskritam the pleasure of learning is multiple as it gives an immediate access to the master-key to the living Hindu Civilization, to the narratives and texts of its rich tradition of yoga, dharma, Jnana, art, music and dance, and the many spiritual and cultural traditions.

There is no previous knowledge of Samskritam is required, and the medium of instruction will be English.
