SANSKRIT!!
After spending getting on for twenty years learning and loving Hindi, I've decided to go back to the source, and am properly learning Sanskrit, an exquisite and rather magical language. I've tried a number of books, and got myself a wonderful teacher, Maddalena, from SOAS, and now we're working with this fabulous resource, which I thoroughly recommend: grammar and information-dense, (but hey it's Sanskrit!) but incredibly clear and helpful.
