I have a question too, Cristina. Are you allowed to also read in your native language? I remember that this
was allowed in the original challenge, but Serpant meant it wasn't allowed anymore. Anyway, I feel my English is suffering from disuse, and thought I'd like to read classics and other important works of the sort that were on the school reading list and which I didn't read or have forgotten. I, of course, wouldn't count things like comic books or children's books like I might read in my weaker languages. I just find it motivating to be able to count and record my reading. However, if it's not allowed, I understand. I assume it's still OK to do other advanced languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hehe Brun Ugle if in your idiolect "Serpant meant" is "Serpent said", maybe you need an English SC indeed ;) BTW I just remembered that I once asked Cristina if I can sign up with Russian if I forget it and she allowed ;D Also, my understanding was that signing up with L1 is what we lost when removing the advanced challenge. But it's up to Cristina, obviously :) Edited by Serpent on 24 April 2016 at 5:29am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In that case, I feel less bad about my tentative plan to possibly count Danish and Norwegian materials against my Swedish challenge. Having studied Irish and struggled to understand all of its dialect variations, I'd feel silly if I only learned to read one of DK/NO/SE. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

@Komma: I'm still fine with it. :-)
@Brun Ugle: Yes, If you feel you need it its ok to sign up with your native language. I am hoping that it is in addition to other languages though:-) And guys - all of you - I am really happy that there is this much enthusiasm about the Super Challenge, but please remember it is supposed to be a tool and a help, not a straight jacket. If it works for you, that is amazing, but if it doesn't then change method. I won't frown upon it, I will applaud it. :-) We are all different, and different methods work for different people. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for your answer. That sounds great, so I have a few more options (for this challenge
and that specific part of the language) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

FYI the Super Challenge bot now accepts Language Families. However if you're going to record your pages/films against a language, it will not automatically "rollup" to the family. You need to decide if you are going to record your pages/films against each language in the family, or into the family. And at least for this year, you're probably going to be stuck with your decision.
