The goal is to create a personal resource catalog, not to reproduce the course. Links and brief resource notes are preserved because the value is in the link list; the course flow is summarized into broad categories.
Resource count: 122 linked rows after de-duplication.
Quick Use
Start with beginner comprehensible input and sound/script resources.
Choose a dialect deliberately when the source notes identify one.
Add tooling only when it removes friction from immersion.
Use native and harder-content lists for tolerance of ambiguity once basic orientation is stable.
Track which resources are compelling enough to sustain daily exposure.
