By the time I have completed this I will definitely have hit the speaks mark, that is for

feel like I'll have a heart attack just attempting them (and live corrections from Mark
guaranteed ;)) How do we pick beginner/advanced? |

Yes, if we manage to get through even a couple of dozen of these challenges our knowledge of Russian should improve vastly. I think it is open for discussion how we chose which tasks to do - I think LanguageSponge has some ideas on that. Personally I would start right from the very beginning. I am getting nausea by the mere thought of writing anything at all in Russian, but I know it would be really good for me.
As for the live corrections - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, pumpkin :-)

Thank you immensely LanguageSponge for putting in all the effort!
Well, after reading those big little challenges I can tell you I definitely feel like an absolute beginner ...

That's a really awesome list. Some of them I could do even with the tiny bit of Russian I know. :)
I've been under the weather pretty bad for the last week, so I am going to have my New Year start on Monday (when my children finally go back to school, after nearly three weeks of everyone being home). My new calendar doesn't start til Monday anyways. =)

Just finished all the little challenges on the list this evening. So who's next?
*only kidding folks*
All I can say is "my God, it's full of stars..."; that's a very impressive list, LanguageSponge!

This is huuuge....I'm speechless. Awesome job, and thank you, Languagesponge! I'll just
take it from the very beginning. Boy, it makes me feel like a total beginner even when I
think about it from a Japanese point of view :D
But make no mistake, doing even a fraction of these with backup by Mark and the rest of
the team is bound to improve my Russian incredibly.
