I really don’t like this idea, from personal experience. I thought: given my snail’s pace in learning English, since I learned it at school and already know it at such a level that there is no pleasant feeling of novelty, then at the current pace I will finish in 5 years, plus any costs … Ok, I’ll be back in ten years, when I will have a decent level of English. Although learning German is much more interesting, and in any case I will learn English for a very long time, and knowledge of languages speeds up the learning of new ones, especially since German and English are similar … I’ll be back in 15 years. (I wonder what is the probability that the end of the world would not have come in this time?) Fortunately, now, 10 years later, there are online translators, and I had the “impertinence” not only to read, but also to try to write through them. The SL4 rules mentioned are something that can be done quickly, for some moments a minute, for some a week, but learning a new language at a level with good literacy is a matter of several years. It is too long. If other points allow you to spend a little of your time to preserve better material for centuries and to save time for thousands of people, and a minute and even a week are clearly worth it, then years are clearly not.
