Maybe I'll read the first Harry Potter a dozen times.

LANGUAGE: Spanish
CHALLENGE:Full LEVEL: passive B1/B2, active A1 COMMENTS: Shrinking "books" to just 50 pages is comfortable and it will be a nice piece of motivation when I'll have completed the reading part. But it is not enough. I'll be aiming for twice as much, like the original 10 000 pages ideally. And after, I may turn it into another ASCR (advanced super challenge residual, basically getting it slowly to the 200 movies and 20 000 pages after the real SC is finished). I'll start with watching to get my listening up and ready for my internship in Spain (where I hope my active skills will go up fast so that I can spend my time in the lab without bothering anyone with English). ....... LANGUAGE: German CHALLENGE: Full LEVEL:A1 or something like that. Perhaps less, now that I am focusing on Spanish. COMMENTS: I'll aim higher again but German is much more difficult. I don't have the huge comprehension advantage of knowing a similar language. And I'll start when I am ready, that means further with Spanish and after review and progress in German as well. I think first half of the 20 months is likely to be Spanish SC, second German SC. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Last time, I completed the equivalent of over 2 full challenges (according to 2014-2015 rules). I also improved my
reading speed in several languages a great deal. So 3 total challenges likely is a stretch, but might not be impossible. Challenges: LANGUAGE: Russian CHALLENGE: Full CURRENT READING/LISTENING LEVEL: A1/A2 LANGUAGE: Italian CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT READING/LISTENING LEVEL: B1 In keeping with the spirit of Cristina's challenge, I am declaring Russian to be my focus, and Italian a secondary focus. Also rans/maintenance: LANGUAGE: French CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT READING/LISTENING LEVEL: B1/B2 LANGUAGE: Dutch CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT READING/LISTENING LEVEL: B2 LANGUAGE: German CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT READING/LISTENING LEVEL: C1 I want to keep reading in French, Dutch and German for maintenance and for fun, and I know I will feel discouraged from doing so if I can't log my results, but I want to pay more attention to finishing Russian, which will be a big challenge, and also Italian. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

LANGUAGE: Dutch
CHALLENGE: Half LEVEL: A1 LANGUAGE: German CHALLENGE: Half LEVEL: < A1 LANGUAGE: Norwegian CHALLENGE: Half LEVEL: From scratch LANGUAGE: Swedish CHALLENGE: Half LEVEL: From scratch It is likely that I will do a quarter challenge for each language; in the opposite case, I will try to the the half challenge with one between German and Dutch, I will make my considerations if this turns out to be the case. For Norwegian and Swedish I actually decided that I will study before Norwegian and after Swedish. It is very likely that if I reach a B1 level in Norwegian I'll have at least a A2 level of passive skill in Swedish, and while studying Swedish I will also improve my skills in Norwegian. If I can manage to go through both the quarter challenge for Norwegian and Swedish is it possible I will rather start with Danish instead of continue with Norwegian or Swedish. My goal is to reach a passive skill around B2/C1 for the 4 languages in these two years. 1 person has voted this message useful |
