Rationale for this Project


Summary of Progress during April - June 2023
  1. I spent 74 hours in 23Q2 on this Project, or related work (117.75 hours YTD, where for "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the (academic) year that commenced in October 2022). That's 192.2% of the planned effort (129.9% YTD). Overall, 9.7% of my Project effort in the Quarter was directed towards this project (making 6.1% YTD) - as against 5.1% planned (4.4% YTD).
  2. As can be seen, I spent nearly twice the allocated – though much reduced – time on this project over the last Quarter. Bertie the dog is growing up, so is less distracting when I’m out walking.
  3. I’d been reading a book on the history of Poland so – partly to work out the awkward pronunciation of Polish names – I added Polish to the list, whizzed through the first 5 lessons on Ling, and added it to the comparison of Ukrainian versus Russian.
  4. Further details follow:-
    Languages (Total Hours = 74)
    1. Languages - Admin (Total Hours = 1.75)
      • 23Q1 Status Reports (1 hour)
      • Problems with Ling subscription on iPhone (0.75 hours)
        → See "Admin - Languages - Admin" (1.75 hours)
    2. Languages - Chinese
    3. Languages - French
    4. Languages - German
    5. Languages - Greek (Modern)
    6. Languages - Japanese
    7. Languages - Korean
    8. Languages - Polish (Total Hours = 7.5)
    9. Languages - Portuguese
    10. Languages - Thai (Total Hours = 46.5)
  5. Ling Language Learning, of which I’ve subscribed to the premium version, is back up and running now Bertie has grown up a bit. I’ve been cycling through 24 languages and recording my thoughts as Brief Thoughts on Language & Languages2.
  6. I’m reading through the NT, OT and LXX in the original Greek and Hebrew. This is quite a time-commitment, but time is booked to my Philosophy of Religion3 Project.
  7. Progress (if any) in the current quarter can be obtained from the relevant section of my Summary Task List4, and YTD in the current & future “automatic” editions of this report.
