It most certainly is. I do not dare to sign up for more than one full Super Challenge but if I see somewhere through the challenge that I can make it, I will sign up for Italian and German as well. They are both at about B1 now I fear. However Russian is the language I really need to focus on, so for the moment I will enter with that only.

My sentiments exactly, Christina. Japanese is huge as it is, and I don't want to nullify
the advantage the Super Challenge has over others which is total focus, but I also can't gauge at this point how fast and well my Japanese progress will be. It may be faster or slower than I can currently predict. So it's good to know that if the former happens and I can maintain Japanese, Russian will definitely be in, even for a 50/50 challenge. I think these first couple of months at least will tell. Thanks for the reply! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

you also put me on the Spanish list looool. are you challenging me? also, i think it's worth mentioning in the main thread how the counting works for 500+ pages. and there's a typo: If you want to join later than May1st 2012 or end before January 31st 2013... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks, you are a gem! (And of course I am challengeing you since it didn't seem like you were challenging yourself enough:-) I hope I have now corrected the mistakes - please let me know if you or anyone else see something more!

You got my entry right (yay!), and I saw that you put parentheses around my Dutch entry which I had labeled
"unofficial." In the interest of not complicating whatever bookkeeping you'll be doing for this, feel free to reclassify it either as an "official" entry or as a non-entry if you need to, as I can continue to keep track of my progress by myself either way. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

LOL-great idea!It reminds me of when I was a student and desperately wanted to read a new novel which was way too expensive for me to buy. I took advantage of the fact that I am a super fast reader and had lots of time on my hands, so I went from book store to book store and read 40-50 pages at each one - sitting on staircases, boxes, and whatever else I could find. Since this is Norway, noone said anything, and in 2-3 days I had read the whole book. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

@Solfrid Cristin, Serpent
What a brilliant idea! I usually check out the newspapers and magazines as I shuffle past the shelves in my local supermarket, especially whilst waiting in a long queue. Maybe next time I should take a little nibble out of Le Monde or Stern and score a few bonus language points too. :) Edited by Teango on 23 April 2012 at 4:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
