Just registered! I'm so excited. The table looks so neat with all those zeroes...
Language: French Challenge: full Level: probably a C1, at least for my comprehension Comments: So ready for this. I've got twenty second hand books, a tv series on netflix, and a list of movies. That should keep me going for a while until i start hearing recommendations from my fellow super challengers =) Language: Spanish Challenge: full ( i think i can pull it off... 20 pages and 30 min a day to complete both) Level: somewhere in the B range. probably higher than i think thanks to transparency with french. Comments: Spanish materials will be a little harder to get but i'll manage. I have some tv series lined up and a few books in mind. General comments: I'm so excited. Did i mention that? I joined the last super challenge half way through and pretty much just played around, but now that i'm starting at the beginning i think i can do this. I'll definitely need it - i'm graduating this year and I won't have classes to keep me going with my studies. but i think that's ok, since i'm right at the level where massive input is what i need to get closer to fluency. Good luck everyone!!! See you all at the finish line! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Language: Russian
Challenge: Full (or more) Level: B2/C1 (not sure) Language: Finnish Challenge: Full Level: A1 Comments: I'm doing my own personal super challenge, which started on January 1st and ends on May 31st, 2015. I'm doing Russian for that one, with a goal of 250 books (each book is 100 pages). I'm excited, but nervous about Finnish. I'm optimistic that I'll finish it, but we'll see. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

How lovely! Do you come across a lot of Finnish in St Petersburg?

LANGUAGE: French
CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT LEVEL: B1-ish COMMENTS: I read a lot better than I listen (or speak...), so I'm hoping forcing myself to watch more French stuff will help remedy that! LANGUAGE: German CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT LEVEL: A2 COMMENTS: I feel really wobbly about German, so this feels even scarier than the French challenge! I may start off relatively gently with some manga, or perhaps now's the time to lay in lots of stock in graded readers...

I'm quoting myself because I decided to go for half challenges in my remaining languages. I believe I can do it: I have about one hour for each each day, plus I will soon get past the textbook stage for all of them. So, besides a full French, a half Norwegian and a half Chinese, there will also be: LANGUAGE: Georgian CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT LEVEL: B1 COMMENTS: It will be a little troublesome to find Georgian video, but I think I can accomplish the reading part. On the other hand, there's always Radio Tavisufleba/Radio Free Europe with audio news + script in a dozen languages (most often the same story covered in a wide range of languages - they even have Avar and Adyghe!). LANGUAGE: Russian CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT LEVEL: A2 COMMENTS: Russian will be the easiest in terms of finding material ^^ I have an amount of stuff I'd be reading in my language anyway, which I can read in Russian. LANGUAGE: German CHALLENGE: Half CURRENT LEVEL: B1 COMMENTS: Like Georgian, I'll focus more on reading. It will be easier to find reading materials and I have a whole bunch of books I would read in Portuguese which I can then read in German. I still have to learn to get films and TV series. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sadly, no. I occasionally run into a Finn now and then, but the resources are very
limited for Finnish. I bought some kids books when I was last in Helsinki, so those should help me. I'll be going back to Finland this summer, likely Helsinki again, and possibly Tampere or Turku, so I'll find some used book shops and get some more materials. I've got more than enough materials in Russian, although I suppose I have it easier by living in Russia. I go to the library every 2 weeks and take out 3-4 books to read. I don't always finish them (such as this 2 week period, where I'm still reading the same book. Sigh) but I've got a nice big selection to choose from. :D 1 person has voted this message useful |
