Hello
I am also a Pali student. Working through G&K with Bhikkhu Bodhi’s recorded lectures available online. I don’t have any particular timeline for completion of my studies in Pali. It’s something I enjoy but refuse to let myself get too exasperated by my slow progress.
I also have some reprints of early translations from the PTS. That’s an interesting exercise in comparison with more modern translations. Earlier translations, such as those a hundred years or more ago, are replete with Victorian and Edwardian perspectives. That’s really instructive and remind me of something my head of school at university once said; that we cannot but see religious texts other than through the prism of our own time and place.
Enjoy your Pali studies.

At Amazon you can Look inside to see a part of it. You can buy it online either as Kindle or as hard copy.
