I'm glad to see that the 6 Week Challenge is still attracting so much interest!!
I just activated the 6 Week Challenge Twitter bot for August. If you're planning to use Twitter and see your score at http://6wc.learnlangs.com, tweet your registration now: @6WCBot I want to #register to study #Japanese intensively in August. #HTLAL user; working #full-time. ("working #full-time" means that you'll have a full-time job next to studying) Read more about how to use the bot at http://6wc.learnlangs.com/howto Don't forget: you cannot be intermediate or advanced level in your main target language for the 6 Week Challenge! You can however track your progress in languages that you know well, as long as you register with a different language. If you're not sure which language to study, can I convince you to try Japanese or Esperanto? Good luck everyone!

This is probably a very stupid question but I have to ask it as I'm totally unfamiliar with twitter. Okay, so there's an address line and a box for text. Do I write "@6WCBot I want to #register to study #Czech intensively in August. #HTLAL user; working #full-time" into the address line or into the test box and if I write it into the message box, what do I write into the address line? Well, hope it's understandable what I need to know. I've got to admit that I feel a bit ashamed now, perhaps I'm just too old for twitter :-).

You click the blue button to compose new tweet and you type it all just there: @6WCBot I
want to #register ... and so on. The idea is that you message the bot. @6WCBot is the address I guess. You do the same to log you progres. You compose new tweet and write @6WCBot 30 minutes #French #Reading (for example). Edited by pesahson on 24 July 2012 at 8:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ah, blue button, ok, found it, that looked easier. I had clicked somewhere else before. And now I'm also following the bot. Yeah, my registration was successful, so I'm a twitter user now and I'm a participant of the challenge :-).

Good luck Nuriayasmin70 in your first challenge then, I hope you'll enjoy it. The first
time I joined I found it very motivating and I keep coming back. This time I don't know what to choose because my French is past intermediate. Russian or Portuguese? That's a tough call. I still have a week to decide. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes, low intermediate is allowed. Basically, if you can enjoy materials written for
natives already, you're too advanced. The reason is that it makes for an unfair comparison. The 6 Week Challenge is supposed to get you past the unpleasant stage of language learning. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I wanted so much to take part in the following 6 week challenge in August, but since I have to write my B.A. dissertation (which is still dead and it worries me more and more), so... November maybe? ;)
