While tempting (I'd still love a structured challenge for improving my German), my ability to lie to myself can only go so far, and even if I abandoned my other languages I know I'll never come remotely close to a book and a movie every three days.
I'll stick to my French (sotto voce: and Dutch) challenge, and continue to read German on the side. Good luck to anyone who's giving this a go! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hats off from me too, I'd love to do this challenge but I've got three already!

A book and a movie every three days? That's just nuts. I might do 200 hours of conversation, but no 200 books... Sorry! 8 persons have voted this message useful | |||

As others have mentioned already, it'll be too much. 200 books in 20 months is insane, I love to read, but reading a book every 3 days, pretty much means I should throw all my other activities. The others might be doable, though...

Well ,why not... I can try with Korean, but I hope it's ok to see 2 dramas in place of a movie, since I watch a lot of it on KBS.

Hmm.
cons: I already have two half challenges to top of my other studies. Hard to get conversation partners (so only the pasive one is possible). pros: I do watch and read a lot in English already and try to do the same for French. I really want to get to high level with French. A great excuse for watching more films, series and reading more books. It will be great even if I don't fulfill it (getting whole 200/200 is quite unlikely) So, it looks like this: I am signing up for Advanced Super Challenge for English and French. 200 books and 200 movies :-) P.S: there is a bot for super challenge? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I shoot for the stars and may land on the moon. Sobeit.
I might not make the volume of reading in Spanish but I'm going to have a good try. I have to read proposal papers anyway which are technically challenging but short in terms of a novel. I have even picked up new vocab from a really basic French reader - ramasser - to pick up - (used in this book to harvest/gather) it is all good. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thank you Solfrid for creating this Challenge :)
I will be doing the Advanced Super Duper Challenge for Bulgarian with the 100 hours conversation simply because I'll do way more than that anyway. I am a native speaker of the language (you could argue that my English is better, which it is, but by order of learning, Bulgarian came first!) and I've never really practiced my reading abilities since I've never had a formal education in Bulgarian. I want to develop my vocabulary further to match that of my English level and I want to be able to skim texts in Bulgarian, a skill that has eluded me due to lack of practice! I won't be able to claim lack of practice after this ;) P.S. One question, how does one keep track of how many books they've read, movies they've watched, etc.? I'm sorry, I'm still a novice at this whole challenges concept :) Edited by Kartof on 06 May 2012 at 2:30am 1 person has voted this message useful |
