OK. Too bad! Spanish is the only language I can drown myself in for hours and not feel sick...

I can only cite what is written on the site:
"Note that you can only do the 6 Week Challenge with a language that you're a beginner at or lower-intermediate at
most."
"Only one language can be your target and your level must be below intermediate, because the idea of the 6 Week
Challenge is to make giant progress in one language. However, the bot can register the maintenance work you do
on other languages as well."
Then you decide if this applies to you.

Btw, an FAQ:
Starts 1st November 00:01 your local time
Ends 12th December 23:59 your local time
It ends 12th December 23:59 your local time regardless of when you started. |

I am kinda busy with everything, but why the hell should that stop me... Also can check if Italian would really interest me.
It would be a bit of lie (I am not busy full-time), but that would correspond to the results I'm likely to show.

I just registered for Persian. I feel like devoting some time to it again. I'm very unsure how much I can really study, though, because I'll be working full-time and have a couple of Korean projects left to complete for this year's TAC.

I registered with French. I don't expect to be at the top of the leaderboard by any stretch of the imagination,
but I have some goals that I would like to complete by the EOY, and this will help keep me focused during a
really hectic time of the year.

I've signed up with Croatian again. Like Mohave, I still have quite a lot I want to
achieve before the end of the year so hoping this 6WC will give me motivation to work
harder :)

I'm registering for Russian. I'll have more time next month, I think... plus my Spanish is mostly podcasts and movies, so I think I can do both.

Thanks, tristano.
I'm considering learning a little Korean by watching the DVDs that my mum has. Similar to victorhart's "Learning exclusively with authentic video" experiment, but backed by some formal study (I love grammar). If so, I'd be a complete newbie.

That's cool :) It's basically what I'm doing with Spanish... but it is just a little bit
easier in my case haha :D
Well, if you do it, I'm really anxious to see your progresses!
