I am going to try Portuguese in February because I will be studying for a big final and I
don't want much distraction. Portuguese is easy because it's so similar to Spanish, and with Brazil so close it would be a shame not to speak it. And for the rest, I kinda want to give another shot to French, and I have some German material lying around the house that I bought and never used... But German doesn't enthusiast me much, so yeah. And for the last one, I completely don't know, I'll guess I'll just pick a random one and see how I do.

I will either be very boring and do Russian on all four, or I'll plan this according to my travel plans (and hopes) and do
- Greek in February,( I would love to go to Greece in May) - Icelandic in May, (planning to go to Island in July) - Slovak in August (will be going to Prague for a weekend in the fall, and Slovak is close enough - and absolutely no idea what I'll do for Nowember :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The 4 languages I have tentatively planned for this year's 6WCs, and this will be my first year doing them, are...
French - Spent a few months on French a year and a half ago. No work on it since, and because nothing was really solidified, it's atrophied pretty badly. Italian - No work except for a few times reading and listening to the first few chapters of Teach Yourself Italian. Mandarin - Nothing, besides knowing the basic way of saying hello and what I know of Chinese characters through studying the Kanji for Japanese. Korean - Spent the month of November on it. Learned the Hangul pretty well and I know the basic phrases and grammar but not much else. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've been planning for a while to do Esperanto in February. After that, I can't say. I probably won't be participating in all of the challenges, because I don't like to
give in to wanderlust and interrupt my studies to start a new language every few months; rather, if there's a new language I decide to start anyway, I try to time it to coincide with the start of a 6WC. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I had some good advice from Christin. That is one language at a time is a better option. Once you are very comfortable with it you start the next.
At present I am doing French and I am very happy with it's progress so I'm off to France in March for finishing touches with my French. In May I will be starting my Spanish lessons. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Looks like quite a few people are intending to tackle Esperanto this year, that's
awesome! Let me know if I can help. You could even make it an Accelerated Challenge like our Finnish one... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
