Description

We present a classical Sanskrit text, Bhagavad Gita (composed sometime between 500 and 100 BCE), aligned with August Wilhelm Schlegel's 1823 Latin translation of it. The texts are treated as a digital corpus from which we prepare a set of digital exercises for mastering vocabulary. To design the exercises we use simple, readily and widely accessible tools and platforms: AntConc, Perseids, Moodle.
