Many of the members of this forum will be familiar with the "quick and dirty guide to learning languages fast" by
A.G. Hawke.
I'm filling in the tables, but I wondered whether a template already exists, maybe in something like Google Docs
format?
Someone did it for Thai already (http://womenlearnthai.com/downloads/FREEQuickDirtyThaiVocA4 .pdf) but I
thought people could benefit from a non-PDF template in which to input the target language words.
Does it already exist?

Yeah, the only one I know of is the Women Learn Thai adaptation. I suppose it wouldn't take too much effort to
reformat it though?

There's a regular spreadsheet out there on GDrive (owner Berta Fernández) that deals
with connectors that you might be able to model your document from. Unfortunately, when
you make the document publicly editable, you run the risk of losing information from
time to time (as is currently the case with the connectors document - someone deleted
all languages except the ones that interest them :-/) Google does keep revisions of
edits, though, so most document screw-ups/formatting errors can easily be removed or
reverted to previous versions.

I'll probably end up doing it myself. I'll be sure to upload it/link to it here when I'm done. It'll be a template, so
hopefully it's indestructible...

I only read that book recently, and I think it would be best if you did it yourself. That way not only is it perfectly suited to you, you also get to remember more while you do it. Of course another's template can be helpful as well.
Uploading it is a very generous idea and I think we should all follow your lead on that one.
