aw, sounds fantastic! <333
Good to see football as someone else's motivation, heh. I watch it a lot online, in practically all the languages on my list though mostly the Romance ones.
I hope there'll be a lot of Portuguese speakers that day in München :PPP
BTW as for 6 week challenges, for the August one I'm going to do the language of the country that wins the Euro :))) (unless it's France lol, I hate French...might do Corsican in this case. And I'll do Old English/Russian if one of these two countries wins)

I'm in! How about you, FireVin and Cavesa, or anyone else?

I'm in too. Actually that scares me a bit, I might have to study A LOT just to have a good result :p
Sounds like a good motivation.

As much as I would LOVE to take this opportunity to get back into my beloved Esperanto, I really need to be focusing on French right now, so I'll be participating with French. The French class I just started is much harder than the previous level, so now would be a good time to spend a whole lotta time on French. Hopefully I do better than my other attempt at a 6 week challenge (gave up, studied for like 4 hours all month).
I'll be the Twitter account @spockofvulcan.

My thoughts exactly :)
I was able to reach A2~B1 after doing the 6wc in Spanish, so I think I will aim for B1~B2
in Esperanto.

I participated in the first 6WC, but real life got in the way of my language studies so I haven't been studying much (or online much) since then. Things have started quieting down a bit now, though, so I'm in for another round! I'll be studying either Italian or French.

I just signed up for Italian.
I realize that I'm at the cut-off (near B1), but I am not ready to begin another language until I get to at least B2 with Italian... and I'd still like to try this 6WC thing.

Are we allowed to do a language that we're already doing for TAC?
