What's Your Sanskrit Level?
Six quick questions, no prior knowledge assumed for the first one. You'll get a level badge and one concrete next step — not just a score.
The word-recognition and transliteration questions are drawn from the site's corpus-frequency data — the actual most-common words in a 4.55-million-token Sanskrit corpus — so "common word first" isn't a guess, it's measured.
Whichever level you land on
The Your Name in Devanagari tool and the Devanagari quiz are good next stops for more practice before your next class.
