I do not know how the bot is set up, but the intention is that people can join at any time. After some months
a full challenge may be too much to take on, but then there are always the possibility of a half challenge.

Okay I thinkI just signed up for the bot. I hope it worked, but I get a little
lost with this kind of thing. If not I will try again in the morning.
Have watched 50 minutes of Sin City in Spanish.

Okay, the bot registered me for a whole film, but I only watched 50 minutes. I will
watch another 40 minutes without registering it on the bot to bring me up to 90 minutes
and 1 full film.
I am going to revise my original plan in that I AM going to count graded readers, and I
AM going to count Rtves documentaries.

Done. Just watched an interesting documentary on RTVES about the Camino de Santiago. It
was 27 min long, so I rewatched the first 13 minutes. I only understood bits of it.
There are actually a number of these documentaries, and as it is a subject that
interests me I think I will watch them all.

UPDATE #4
FRENCH FILMS
1. French in Action Lessons 2-4.
2. TV5 shows (1 hour 40 mins total).
3. On choisit pas ses parents. Really dumb film I recorded from TV5, but a lot of good practice. It was great seeing phrases I've learnt from Assimil being used in context. Things like, "dites donc". On the one hand, I lost about 100 minutes of my life on absolute drivel. On the other hand, I had 100 minutes of good practice in French. C'est la vie! It could have been worse; it could have been a rubbish film in English!
FRENCH BOOKS
Still working on two different books.
HINDI FILMS
1. Dhobhi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries).
HINDI BOOKS
Haven't read anything yet.
