If I weren't doing this, I wouldn't have asked for a book bribe! I wouldn't charge just for running scripts. And really, this is nothing compared to what I did for the Heinrich political correspondence, for which I also requested a bribe. ;)

But okay, how about this? I'm halfway through, so what if I send you three files: the German, the English, and an interleaved copy of the first half? That's a couple hundred pages and should give you plenty of German practice. Then if you get through that and you want the second half interleaved instead of in separate files, I'll run through and align the remaining paragraphs then.

Does that work for you?

Great! I've emailed you all three files.

Ziebura, or AW? We're about to finish AW, but it might be a while before we get through the remaining Ziebura books. Especially if we try to slow down Ziebura so that we're less overwhelmed by the amount of discussion happening.

Unless you feel like you're not ready for Melody until you do more Duolingo, I actually don't think it would be a bad idea if you did some Melody in conjunction with Wives, which you could read purely in English while practicing your German on something simpler.
