I'd love to join, but I'm not very sure if I should go for French, German (I have both Alemão and Francês sem esforço) or the "exotic" Romanian (senza sforzo).

You reminded me that when I decide to learn Romanian, I can also do it through Italian!! (I have the Italian edition too).
I'll be doing Russian through Italian and, if I do Romanian through Italian as well, I'll be improving my Italian with even less effort than it takes for ordinary Assimil courses =D
I don't know how's your French, if you're starting from zero, you better start it asap and before German, because it will be useful for other Assimil books. If you can already read French, then take German for the challenge, 'coz German does need a motivating ennvironment for you to keep moving up through it.

I admit it would be more interesting to see how you do with Romanian (i'll be doing it too, informally) or at least German:)
Oh and there's no rule against doing several!!!

Is anyone doing a course without understanding the base language? How are you going to do the active wave?

I'm thinking of doing this challenge, and I thought I had even decided on doing it with Turkish. However, I'm now tempted to do it for Catalan instead.
Decisions, decisions...

Mainly due to the fact that I prefer to do one thing properly. I don't think I could focus on two completely new languages at the same time, especially as this would be something to do just for fun - my main priority is still getting better at Spanish.

I'm thinking of participating in this challenge (or honestly, adventure? :) )
I'll learn German through "L'Allemand - Maria Roemer 2004". Currently, I have got a
really tiny, nearly no base in German. I plan not to do any additional exercises or use
any additional resources till the end of Assimil schedule.
My aim is to discover :
* the competences in this language I may gain just with Assimil. (all for listening
comprehension, reading, writing or oral expression)
* CEFR grade I'll obtain, will I really be a B2-speaker in German as claimed? or A1 A2,
B1 ?
* the variety and the sufficiency of the vocabulary I will have learnt.
