Devanagari is the fourth most commonly used script in the world, after Latin, Chinese and Arabic, and it is used by over 600 million people. For example, Hindi, Nepali and Marathi use it. However, there are differences between these languages, so it is best to use separate practice material for Sanskrit studies. Nevertheless, the ability to read the script can also be beneficial when traveling in India or Nepal.

Most letter-tracing exercises I have seen repeat the same letter many times before moving on to the next one. What I have done differently is base the repetition on grammatical categories instead of individual letters. The exercises are repeated in a way that supports both memorization and the learning of grammatical terminology. The main focus is on Harinamamrta-vyakarana, but most of the Paninian equivalents are also included.
