What you would have achieved at the end of Month 1.
Know...

•  How to correctly write a word with अनुनासिक व्यञ्जन s.
•  How to correctly pronounce म्  or an अनुस्वार ending word depending
on what letter follows it.
•  That nouns and pronouns may be masculine, feminine or neuter.
•  That nouns, pronouns and verbs can be singular, dual or plural.
•  That all "same ending" masculine words are declined alike.
•  Ditto for same ending feminine words. Ditto neuter.
•  Suffixes have to be added to a verb root form to match the subject.
•  That nouns or pronouns have to be attached to a preposition before
they can be used.
•  That the subject is picked from the प्रथमा विभक्ति।
•  That the object is picked from the द्वितीया विभक्ति ।
•  That Sanskrit verbs are so familiar simply because we use them
everyday when speaking our own mother tongue.
•  That wherever is the place that one is going to, the place falls in the
द्वितीया विभक्ति । That is, it ends in a म् or an अनुस्वार ।
•  That अव्यय- s are words that do not change their form.
