Seeking advice on learning pali

Question

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for books or online resources for learning pali? Although I've picked up the odd term or phrase here and there I would really like to find out about approaching it more systematically. Any advice, experience or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi,

Here are some links in which you can explore the Pali language.

Also I have learnt a lot of pali by doing chanting before meditation sessions.

Hope this was the kind of thing you wanted.

Answer 2

Here's a tool I've been making in my spare time for the past years:

Digital Pali Reader

Not sure if it will help for someone who is still a beginner, but it certainly is being used by people with basic grammar knowledge.

I don't know if you know www.accesstoinsight.org? They got a lot of good resources too here
