Hi Ryan,

Welcome to this boat for beginners in learning Pali.

Unaided, searches were made through the internet. There were numerous study materials. However, some couldn't be read because of special font requirement. After numerous searches, most required fonts were found.

Then, materials that were initially discarded were found to be really good beginners materials, and almost all come from the present Pali study group. Then, there was a need to organize those materials for a systematic study. So a desktop organizer was crudely built for personal usage. Thinking that it might be useful for other beginners as well, it was rebuilt as a content management sytem for beginners and uploaded to a free website for feedback: http://free.hostdepartment.com/l/learnpali/index.htm

However, from feedback, users were still facing the same problem: fonts. Presently, all those materials are in the process of being converted under Velthuis Scheme.

Please try this, a chapter of Charles Duroiselle's Pali Grammer under Velthuis, http://free.hostdepartment.com/l/learnpali/chpt10_1.htm. The whole conversion exercise should be finished within a week and will be dedicated and offered to the Pali study group as a thank-you for thier contribution and help in learning Pali.

Please write if you have any question. Off list if you wish.

Cheers,

Harry

Hello all,

My name is Ryan and I am from Ohio. I am in the process of being
ordained through the Red Lotus Temple under Rev. Virupa Arya. We are a
Theravadin Temple. I was wondering if I could find some information on learning Pali
from the beginning.
