Ooh, I am definitely interested... I was trying to justify starting Russian, after
all ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

One thing - I think it's a good idea not to allow to sign up for 6WC with the same language. The whole idea of Assimil is learning a lot while NOT doing an insane amount of work. Although I don't think a max limit of time is a good idea, a 6WC will certainly make most people study waaay too much for the purpose of this challenge;)

Definitely interested, depending on the timing. I suddenly have all sorts of Assimil-related fantasies involving the likes of Romanian, Hungarian, Persian, and Swahili running through my mind. Would it be a problem that I've studied the language in the past?

An Assimil Challenge seems like a great idea. As I wrote elsewhere I am planning on learning several languages with Assimil anyway, and I could put one language on hold for now exclusively for the Challenge. Which in terms of managing my time is very welcome.
Turkish would be ideal for this. I have zero knowledge in it, and so far Assimil put out only one major single-volume course, so it could be completed in half a year, or a full year at most. I'm in! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Great timing: I just ordered Le Tamoul sans peine Although, it'll be awfully hard
to wait until November. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hmm. If I have time in November, I will surely join. My Swedish applies to the
conditions. So does my Italian. But since both are close to languages I am already learning (and that might spoil the experiment), I might listen to the Mephistopheles- Chung and try Finnish :-D (Or something else, my hit list is long enough) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I'm definitely in.
I've already finished their basic Spanish and French courses. I'm working on the Advanced Using Spanish and French courses now, plus the German and Italian with Ease courses. I will either be starting Portuguese or re-starting Croatian for the August 6WC (and using other materials as well). As long as we're not starting before September or October, I'm in for a new language. I will be starting Russian and Turkish once I've finished at least one or two of the above (Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese). I might opt for an easy language - Catalan or Dutch. I would also like eventually to do Swedish, Greek, Polish, Japanese, and Czech, so those are also possibilities. If there are a bunch of people doing the same language, I might do that language, just for fun. A lot will depend on where I am with my other Assimil courses and with my Super Challenges. Are we going to be limited to using only Assimil for this challenge? I know for me, I like to use other sources as well, especially for non-Romance languages. If we are limited to just Assimil, I would probably pick one of my lower priority languages. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like the thought of not using a more traditional language course at the same time. Assimilating the language from native materials would be fine, though:) There can't ever be an equality in which languages we're exposed to, and that's natural.
