The Tadoku is indeed about reading as much as possible within one month, but ONLY in foreign languages. A lot
of the participants are English speakers learning Japanese. For them, more than anyone, it is a difficult step to
start reading in their target language, so they use this challenge to motivate themselves and each other. Many
start with children's books or manga - if you read Japanese, there is actually a scale of easiness somewhere.
From what I understand, Japanese schools are also adopting Tadoku for learning English. Progress in the Tadoku
is measured in pages read, rather than time spent.
So in short, Tadoku doesn't have to be about advanced languages, but it's probable that you'll choose at least an
intermediate-level language for it. In order to get the synergy effect, you're encouraged to only read in one
language during the Tadoku and you cannot register with more than 3.
For the 6WC, your main target language has to be a beginner or lower-intermediate level for the sake of keeping
things comparable - once you're at intermediate level or beyond, it's a lot easier to spend a lot of hours on a
language. But that restriction is only for the main target language in the Twitter-based scoring. The other
languages can be any level, and yes the intended purpose of the 6 Week Challenge is to encourage you to find
new ways to integrate language study into a busy schedule, to spend more time on language study and to
possibly develop some good habits that you'll carry on.

Hello team 'ne nur', I'd like to join you if that's alright. My Esperanto is definitely
elementary (and also quite eroded, I'm afraid) but I was planning on studying it during
one of the 6 week challenges, possibly the one in February. Five hours of Swahili sounds
like fun! Apart from that my target languages for 2012 will be French, German, Old
English and possibly Arabic, Greek, Indonesian, Spanish and Norwegian.

see the team thread used for discussion during the year, for helping each other,
motivating each other, asking & answering questions, and for posting milestones.
