TTBOMK, there are 3 things which change-the-rules, significantly.
Pimsleur. Get the Pimsleur app, get the all-languages subscription, & do 1 session per day.
Flashcards, or Anki, to get the visual imprinted into your automatic-mind, for any language you are trying to learn
Later..
Begin with Pimsleur & with some yt videos.
( they have no Sanskrit, which is the one I want, unfortunately )
Do well!

Anki is incredible for learning, it's one of my favourite tools.
If you're able to, make your own flashcards— it makes a huge difference. Bonus tip, if you're making your own flashcards, it can be useful to use pictures rather than a language you already know for the answer. For example, if I was making a card for the word "apple" in French, I'd have one side saying "une pomme", and another side with a picture of an apple. It makes it so that the new language isn't mediated by English as much, and I've found I get better at thinking in that language much quicker (especially for languages with grammar that's different to other languages I've studied)
