Pembelajaran Komunikatif Bahasa Sanskerta dan Aksara Devanāgarī Bagi Masyarakat Hindu Pemula
Keywords:
Sanskrit, Sambhāṣaṇa, Devanāgarī, Communicative Learning
Abstract
Sanskrit is an important element in Hindu religious activities, but the awareness and attention of the Hindu community toward this language are still very lacking, which can be directly observed through phenomena such as distortions in the pronunciation of Sanskrit sounds and a lack of understanding of the meanings of Sanskrit texts being recited. This community service aims to introduce basic Sanskrit through a communicative approach. The method for carrying out this activity is ten days of learning that focuses on the conversation method (sambhāṣaṇa). The success of the activity is measured through observation during the learning process. The results show active involvement and achievements in the ability to use vocabulary, engage in simple communication, respond to questions, understand speeches, as well as recognize and write Devanāgarī script.
