A few days ago, the postman delivered a copy of the Gair book, "A New
Course in Reading Paali." Recently I've been working with the Lily
de Silva tutorial, and I'm not sure of the best way to proceed.
Should I complete the de Silva lessons and then move on to Gair?
Switch to Gair and forget de Silva? Work through them both in
parallel?
To complicate matters further, I also have the Elementary Pali Course
by Ven. Narada, and the tutorial guides that accompany it. I don't
have a Pali dictionary; I generally use the PTS online dictionary.
Any advice on the best approach to learning the language would be
greatly appreciated.
