at the template. In the meantime I, depending upon the organization of a sentence, am working with two to five words.
Text on two computers compare
I write a text on two computers. Into one version I insert some errors. Then I wait for one or several days to read the text again. I read then the
original and the changed copy in parallel and try the to find the errors. Here it is primarily not the orthography that I am interested in. I am
instead more interested to find the right positions in the text. I have problems whenever I read longer sentences at a piece. Then I have
problems to find the correct place again, where I stopped to read. Whenever I read the original and the manipulated copy in parallel. This is
something that I make e.g. by using Word. And then I have to search my errors. I do this by reading the text on the left side and then on the
right side, trying to find the errors. Especially at longer chapters I have difficulties to find the right position. With this exercise it gives relative
many variants which the length of the chapter.

Pride on what I achieved
If I did not write that yet: I am very, very proud on what I did get done in the meantime. As I said, I was convinced at the beginning that
everything would be done in half a year. With the time I learned that these estimate was false. But I am very proud of what I did in the last 2
1/2 years. Also the fact that it lasts very long until knowledge has solidified itself. That is probably one of the most important experiences,
which I made during this time. For some people that may be trivial. But for me that was not trivial.
To notice that from one day to the next my "tools" where taken away. And how laborious to is to develop these tools again. After all that it was
a much helpful experience. Now after I learned the characters again laboriously, many things re-established themselves "on their own". I notice
now that many things were still there, just made a break during that period. Only at this point I did notice, how importantly the presence of
fundamental things is. As said, I for my part noticed only then, why it lasts so long to build something from the scratch. Normally one learns
piece by piece, everything goes in continuity. One does not notice at all, how difficulty actually learning is. That I was simply suppressing. And
only by the blow-out of my aneurysm it became clear to me, how difficult and lengthy the process of learning is. But as well, how much behind
all that is.
It was important that I had my beloved behind all this. Annett, my daughter Maya, my mother Line, my father Heinrich, my mother-in-law Helga
and my father-in-law Bernd. Without their support I would have had no chance.
