So, I will be returning from China on July 31st, having studied Mandarin for about one year at that time. It would be
insane to do a 6-week challenge given everything else that's going on in my life, but a little insanity is good for you, right? My question is, should I do Mandarin (still low-intermediate at best) or French (which I would love to take up again)? Common sense says Mandarin. I will probably do that if I participate at all. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would love to join but there are still a few things hanging around which might come to it.
Why isn't Swedish on the list? Was it in some of such challenges before? I made my choices and actually would be glad if the challenge was split into two halves-French and German, since my French is above the level for the challenge and it wouldn't be that motivating to learn German alone (in that case I'd choose the Swedish). However I understand the choice, French is a great language to learn. Btw is there a way how to see the results of the poll? I've created my own account but cannot find a way to view it. Or you cannot view results of any poll except yours? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I got most of the languages from the list of last time's 6 Week Challenge people, and added the languages that I noticed were missing. Swedish must have slipped my mind, sorry. Given that you're the first to notice, I don't think there would have been a majority for Swedish.
Apparently being able to share the poll results has become a premium feature at this site; it didn't use to be. I'll use a different site next time. Right now, German has 1 vote more than French, Russian is a bit further away and the rest of languages even further. I think having two focus languages (German and French) is a good way to go.

I would be willing to take part in this challenge to improve my Belarussian skills. I planned to learn this language a few years ago, but since I moved to the USA I haven't practiced. Anyone else live in Georgia (the state)? It would be nice to practice with someone in person.

This challenge seems very interesting!!!. I would like to participate with one of the
following languages: japanese,korean, chinese, thai, french, Italian or German. For those languages I know nothing at all, except for japanese, but I am still at a begginer level with that language. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll probably do this with French, German and Russian, to see how far I can get with both
of them during this time. Conveniently, those seem to be the top 3 votes anyway. Currently an absolute beginner with both French and Russian, so this should be a great way to test my capabilities. Especially with uni starting up again right at the beginning of this challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for a fast answer. The Swedish missing just surprised me because I've looked at the thread about May 6wc and there were several people mentioning it. Most probably all the interested people already progressed with Swedish too much for the challenge. And it is logical that huge languages are what most people agree on. Perhaps the tenth or so 6wc will be a close fight between slovak and swahili or something like that. I didn't expect something like that would excite me that much. Or that I would dare to join. I'm already looking for some good German learning materials. And I nearly got a friend to this forum and the challenge (she dreams of learning Dutch). 1 person has voted this message useful |
