Update on BigBook 2
FYI: I’m planning on posting new blog messages at least every Tuesday. Hold me to it! Here’s the first:
What I did on my summer vacation…
I worked like crazy on BigBook 2. I’m pitifully slow, as many of you know, and I don’t always have realistic expectations of what I can accomplish in a day, week, or month (I’m working on improving in that area!). It’s not always easy to find the exact image I have in my mind to illustrate something. A simple thing like finding an image of a sword can turn into a half hour search for the right shape, color, etc.
For those of you who have been asking, I have to report that I expect all the grammar and derivative work to be finished by or before Sept 15, the history to follow a month later, and the initial CDs to be burned shortly after that. This book will end up about a third larger than BB1 (I’m thinking of calling it “The Bigger Book of LivelyLatin.”) and will have the same features: audio files, online vocab games, a My History of Rome, Vol 2 section, etc.
There are presently over 200 pages of BigBook 2 presently in the virtual classroom. That should keep new students busy until the release of the whole book in October. There are a few students who are caught up to me. For these, you can email me to request the lesson files as they exist at present: word files not yet put into PDF pending final proof-reading.
OK, let me get back to work…
