As usual, the next 6 Week Challenge starts on May 1st. This is a challenge to upgrade
your language skills in one language from beginner to something more worthwhile, and to see if you can find more time to study languages when competing with other participants in a global highscore. Note that you can only participate if you are a beginner or lower intermediate (B1) in your target language. What's unusual this time is that there is a special challenge along with it, for which we have found very generous prize sponsors: give a 1-5 minute talk in Esperanto after learning it for only 6 weeks and you can win a week-long vacation, a book or a DVD. Details here. No matter if you're participating in this special version of the 6 Week Challenge or just doing a regular challenge, the time to sign up is now. Tweet "@6wcbot I want to #register to study #Esperanto in May. #HTLAL" and you're in! Good luck in your language studies! 13 persons have voted this message useful | |||

If the winner of first prize turns out to be British (or living in Britain), the registered charity NoJEF announced yesterday on Facebook that it will pay the travel costs to the event of the winner's choice.
Apologies that we can't offer this to those without a British connection; the charity is legally restricted under the terms of its trust deed as to what it can do with its money. If the winner were to be non-British but chose to visit an Esperanto event in Britain as the prize, we may have scope to sort something out also... but I'm not sure why anyone would choose to come to the UK when they could go to Brazil! You have two days to migrate and sign up for the challenge ;) 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

so, one question about the "work" part..
work #full-time means the job outside from language learing or the learning process? and another question: one registers for one target language, but one can also write updates to the bot for other languages right? but for those one does not have to or must not register? and these can be more than B1 or so?

Yes, it refers to your job. It's mostly done for the purpose of comparing yourself with others who have a similar load. Feel free to leave out this part, maybe especially if you count some things you do for work as language learning.
For your totals, anything that's not in your native language can count. You only register with your target language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think I'll be doing a 6WC this time in Spanish. I need to improve my Spanish rapidly,
because, let's be honest, I've been lying to myself for a long time about how well I know Spanish. Also, I'm taking a test (SAT II Subject Test of Spanish) on June 7 and need to improve a lot by then. I'll primarily be using Memrise, Sharedtalk, and Italki, I think. I'll probably do some Duolingo as well. Putting German on a partial hold for now. It pains me to stop from German, or even to ease back on it. I'll probably finish my 21 day sprint (at least 10 new vocab a day from a frequency ordered list of 1000) that I'm doing with German and then ease back on it and just review vocab and stuff, primarily focusing on Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
