I didn't find any other thread created by anyone else, but please let me know if such a thread already exists.

Help! I wrote a tweet that read
@6wcbot I studied #20 minutes or #Italian using #googlenews
And for some reason it did not log it. Italian is not my target language and I never told
the bot I was studying it. Do I need to inform the bot that I am also studying Italian?
And if so then how?


@6wcbot I studied ----> #20 minutes or #Italian using #googlenews

I guess you shouldn't add hastag here.

How annoying, I accidentally deleted what I had been writing.

Just wanted to ask for a heads up on the percentages I thought I'd use for different activities:

Active study: 100% (textbook, audio course with replying/taking notes, shadowing, memorization, exercises, Anki reps, L-R, translation, etc)
Conversation, writing: 100%
Reading, listening attentively: 100% (only 50-75%% when my concentration wavers/I skip more than a few parts I don't understand instead of looking them up, depending on how severe the attention issues are)
Watching movies/TV shows without subs/with target language subs: 50% of the runtime, no extra time awarded for looking up words, taking notes etc
Watching movies/shows with subs in a different language: 33% of the runtime
Talk shows, comedy, game shows: 100% of runtime

Maintenance of a 'fluent' language: 50% of the above values, tasks that are aimed at maintenance or improvement only

It would be kind of cool to have a hashtag that allows us to add tasks like having target language audio running in the background without actually counting towards study time.
Oh, I came to the movie/TV values by reading subtitles and comparing the time it took me with the runtime of the episode; I came out with 1/4 to 1/3 of the runtime. Added some leeway for rewatching scenes to catch what exactly was said, taking notes, looking up vocab.

Does that sound fair to you?
