Hi, I'm in for Japanese. Still deciding on either Twitter, or here on the thread, but
will make that decision in a couple of hours. But I'm in. I'm a student, but I can get in
a fair number of study hours.

If I do want to tweet, should I just post on my Twitter, or is there a place I have to
register first? I'm new in this, so I'm not sure. If I decide to do the posts here and
not Twitter, I should just post here everyday, right? I don't really understand what to
do exactly, even though I did read the article posted on the 6WC. Thanks!


The instructions are here: http://6wc.learnlangs.com/howto

You register by tweeting. For example, you could tweet:
@6WCBot I want to #register to study #Japanese intensively in February. #HTLAL user; working #full-time.

If you're not working full time, just change full-time to part-time or free.

Then, you tweet your study times like this:
@6WCBot I studied 1 hour and 45 minutes of #Japanese using #Anki today.

There's more detail on the instruction page but that's the gist of it. I hope that helps!

How can one change the language chosen to participate in the 6
week challenge? I originally signed up for French,
but I realized it would be better for me to focus on German. If anyone could point me in
the right direction or help
me out, I'd really appreciate it!

My twitter name is @MerryCrassmas

I changed your target language by hand; there's no automated way to do it. It really
shouldn't be possible anymore once the challenge has started, because it changes the
score significantly.

I registered and posted my first update for the day on at the Twitter bot. Hope it's not
too late. My twitter is @Woodsei. Thanks

Just discovered that tag #anki and #Anki are treated differently but #German and #german are not. It might be a good thing if tags are the same, independent of letter case?

Thanks!!

Does the system recognise Northern Saami as a language. How would I write it for it to register in my statistics - Sami, Saami, N.Saami?????

Thanks in advance

The tag is #se and the name used to be "Northern Sami", with a space preventing it from
ever being recognized as a tag. I changed it to just "Sami", so you can use #se or #Sami.

I also added #AncientEgyptian at Teango's request.

Zenmonkey, thanks for noticing. The languages are treated differently because the tags
are double-checked against a list, whereas other tags are up to each user, you could make
a tag #fjoIMihg and the bot wouldn't complain. I will put it on my to-do list to make
these case-insensitive too though. I've been way too busy preparing and teaching an
Esperanto class locally, so haven't had a chance to work on it yet and now I have some
catching up to do on the Finnish challenge.

I'm more than a week late but I just decided to study Esperanto for the remaining time in the challenge! I'm assuming that the Twitter bot will still let me register...
