Okay, so it's set:
February Challenge: Get Addicted Aim to do either 30+ hours of target-language study this month OR study every day for a number of minutes that you can decide yourself. I will be going for 30+ hours of Indonesian and I will use the 6 Week Challenge bot in order to keep track. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Jumped up on the bandwagon - at least 5 minutes a day on Bliu Bliu.
It helps that five minutes is their 'daily dose', but I've been spending hours there, reveling in the ability to put German, Spanish and Arabic to use. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'd like to hear on the team leader, Luso, besides deciding for the challenging.
Like I said at another team, this "commitment" challenge doesn't work much for me, because I already have a set routine I normally stick to. I'd rather focus on concrete activities that I would find a little time for and which would include active skills. It's no problem if others want it, though. As a matter of fact, considering the month has 22 workdays and I study about 90 minutes of Georgian each day, I think I could take part on the challenge with no problem: 30 minutes - a Basic Georgian lesson, which includes version exercises 30-40 minutes - an episode of Chemi Tsolis Dakalebi 15 minutes - two pages from A Georgian Reader (parallel bilingual texts) 15 minutes - two pages from a bilingual novel, Paloma (will start a translated novel after this one) 10 minutes of 40 Anki reps, deck is all mature now. ============= I'd like to hear more on how you guys who are learning rare languages are making use of Bliu Bliu =D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Actually, I was more inclined to accept prz_'s proposal, not because of the theme per se, but rather because I think that "X" hours of study is business as usual, so to speak. In fact, I think it can lead to dispersion. But then there were cheers from a few teammates (now that I come to think of it, it was the ladies' side), and I didn't want to rain on their parade. After all, the whole challenge notion is not my cup of tea, and I'm just one among equals. Anyway, since you asked for my opinion, I think that a challenge should be something specific and visible, and since we have this special group, I'd like to see some more exotic posts. Among ourselves, we have something like nine or ten scripts, even if not all are represented in this team. We have the "Rare" opportunity to write a team thread like no other. On a different note, I'm worried that we might be losing zecchino1991. Would you Georgian guys offer to help / give him a nudge? :P It seems MithradatesG is progressing with his Armenian, although at a slow pace (who hasn't been there?), but holding his own.

We could do both. We could keep the passive challenge (hours per month/day whatever each one wants to do), and add a smaller active challenge so as to use the language.
Since there are many scripts here, how about writing down as many names that have something to do with our life? Say, find out who to write our name, our country and city, etc. For the more advanced, this could be a few lines about their hobby, which was a fun idea.

I think we should do the hobby challenge in March. January revealed that writing
challenges are still difficult for those starting from a low level, that's why I wanted to give them a break in February, allow them to catch up a bit, before challenging to write about hobbies. A daily study habit is the most valuable thing to have. Expug is really fortunate. Those who don't need the study habit challenge can decide what other challenge they might set themselves.
