In order to make a fresh start in the new year, I'll start a new discussion thread for the Super Challenge, so all questions you have about the challenge may be written here.
Please see first if your questions are answered after looking here: TOTAL SUPER CHALLENGE REFERENCE THREAD But if not, I or one of the participants are sure to give you an answer. The first one is from Serpent
I do not know how come, but I'll contact Surrealix about it. Edited by Solfrid Cristin on 01 January 2013 at 4:19pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I posted this in emk's log, in case you didn't see...if you're ok with reading digital versions, you can get a lot of material MUCH cheaper. Rather than having to pay $37/volume ("on sale" from $46) for Blake et Mortimer, I was able to read it online for 2 Euros. Check out, e.g., izneo.com. EDIT: it was Blake et Mortimer that I was reading. Edited by geoffw on 01 January 2013 at 5:02pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thank you! I was hoping he'd see the thread :)
I'll say it once again: Would you have signed up for the Super Challenge if this was a one-year thing? If you would, don't be discouraged if you're not where you'd want to be! Neither am I (apart from Polish), but we still have a whole year!!! Can I read 9800 pages in Croatian, 9200 in Italian, 9000 in Portuguese, 4900 in Belarusian, 4500 in German and 3400 in Polish? Yes I believe I can :-) (that's a total of... let me count... 40 800 pages) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just signed up in December and I'm doing a Major Challenge (50 books, conversations,
films and writing) for both Croatian and Italian and Half Super Challenge with (100 films only) for Arabic. One month doesn't make that much of a difference and there are so many choices to choose from that there's really no reason not to join if you want to improve your language(s) in 2013. Question for Cristina, what counts as "writing"? Does it have to be original output or at least something you translated into your target language?? Or does Scriptorium count as writing too? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's up to you, everything is allowed. Kerrie's writing is mostly Assimil, for example.

The main point is to get people to do more and study more than they would have done otherwise. That's why any sort of writing is allowed - if it helps motivate you to do more, then it is ok. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||
