But if you can learn Sanskrit over the internet, you're probably smart enough to figure out what sites to go to without asking Answers. Traditionally it takes twelve years of daily study. I'd try to do an intensive like this:

PS--asking Wikipedia to translate stuff for you will go nowhere. Here's the Sanskrit entry on Rama:
राम सः अयोध्याकुलस्य राजा आसीत्। सः रामायणस्य मुख्य पत्रः। तस्य विष्णु भगवनास्य अवतारः मन्यते।
* प्राचीन-वंशावली
* अयोध्याकुल
And here's the English:

Rāmachandra, Śrī Rāma (श्रीराम) or Rama (rāma in IAST, राम in Devanāgarī pronounced as Rarhm) was a king of ancient India whose grand story is portrayed in the epic Ramayana, one of the two great epics of India. In Hinduism, he is also considered to be the Seventh Avatara of Vishnu and one of the most important manifestations of God. He is one of the most popular heroes of Hindu mythology and folktales in South and Southeast Asia. Born as the eldest son of Kausalya and Dasaratha, king of Kosala, he is the embodiment of the Supreme Brahman and Dharma. Rama is Maryada Purushottama, literally The Perfect Man. He is the hero of the ancient Hindu epic poem, The Ramayana (from Sanskrit, The Journey of Rama). Rama is the husband of Sita, who is also considered the Avatara of Lakshmi and the embodiment of perfect womanhood.
Rama's life and journey is one of perfect adherence of dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. For the sake of his father's honour, Rama abandons his claim to Kosala's throne to serve an exile in the forest. The kidnapping of his wife Sita by Ravana, the Rakshasa monarch of Lanka leaves him desperate. After a long and arduous search that tests his personal strength and virtue, Rama fights a colossal war against Ravana's armies. In a war of powerful and magical beings, greatly destructive weaponry and battles, Rama slays Ravana in battle and liberates his wife. Having completed his exile, Rama returns to be crowned King in Ayodhya (the capital of his Kingdom) and eventually becomes Emperor of the World, after which he reigns for eleven thousand years - an era of perfect happiness, peace, prosperity and justice known as Rama Rajya.
Rama's courage in searching for Sita and fighting a terrible war to rescue his wife and their honour is complemented by Sita's absolute devotion to her husband's love, and perfect chastity despite being Ravana's captive. Rama's younger brothers, namely Lakshmana, Shatrughna and Bharata strongly complement his piety, virtue and strength, and they are believed by many to belong to the Mariyada Purshottama and the Seventh Avatara, mainly embodied by Rama. Rama's piety and virtue attract powerful and devoted allies such as Hanuman and the Vanaras of Kishkindha, with whose help he rescues Sita. The legend of Rama is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia. Rama is revered for his unending compassion, courage and devotion to religious values and duty.
That's the first paragraph.
The trouble with Sanskrit is you need to learn a dozen declensions and at least 8 verb conjugations before you can even start. Just figuring out आसीत्। will be quite difficult, because you need to know the root as, plus the lang affix a, then that a + a ='s A (long a), then the normal endings for the imperfect in the non-a ganas, and then that as takes an I infix. All that to understand and recognize the word "was".
If you're serious about learning Sanskrit, email me--doing it over the Internet is, in the opinion of anyone who knows what they're talking about, a fool's errand.
