I just noticed that the number of views for this log has passed 3.500.000. But I have stopped trying to understand these numbers. Maybe it is a bot somewhere that pumps up the visitor numbers.
My writing spell goes on unabated, and I get around both a number of reseach papers which I have consulted earlier, some new ones and parts of my own writings here which I had forgoten long ago. Right now I'm at the stage where the next subject is my wordlist setup, but the chapters I have written about vocabulary learning I have written yesterday evening are almost completely new - they have more in common with my lecture in Novi Sad than with the things I had to say about the topic in 2009 and before. I wrote something about wordlists faily recently (20 December 2014) in ths thread, and I think it will be logical to incorporate that in the upcoming description of the method - rather than publishing one more revised version of the explanations in the Wikia or the original text from the Guide.

I have now written everything except the section about grammar, two chapters at the end of the section about translation and one short one about multiple languages and study plans which will be the last in the whole thing - and the estimate of a total around 110-120 pages still holds. With a bit of luck I can finish the writing process during the coming weekend. After that I'll read the whole thing through and maybe change some details, but that shouldn't take long. If I can achieve that then I'll have written a full book in 2 weeks - in spite of a fulltime job and a weekend spent with my family. And the majority og the 77 pages MS Word pages I have written so far are new so it isn't just a question of revising the existing guide.
There was one and only one reference I simply couldn't find again: I once saw a collection of standard symbols to be used in hyperliteral translations in scientific articles, but maybe that system isn't used very much since it is so hard to find the symbol list again. But I have been able to find a fair number of other interesting things, inccluding some research reports, which I have seen during my period here at HTLAL sicne the guide was compiled in 2009, but not used. So maybe I have been lax about working with my foreign languages except English, but I have definitely learnt some science! PS: I haven't had time to compile a new umbrella thread.
