Ist of May, Labour day tomorrow. In Norway that is a public holiday. I grew up in a very conservative neighbourhood where it was de rigeur to be working in the yard that day, regardless of the wheather, just to show that you were not a communist.
This year I will be spending it on Russian - I have invited a Russian friend over, and I am hoping to see a film in the morning, before she comes - or the other half of the film I may watch tonight :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Oh but here it used to be common to work in the yard regardless of the weather, to show that you are a communist. :D

The bot is now reset, and the challenge begins! (at least back home in NZ). Good luck everyone.
Yes, that's correct.
It'll add up the words by itself - if you tweet three times: @langchallenge #writing 60 words @langchallenge #writing 70 words @langchallenge #writing 80 words Then you'll be displayed as Brun Ugle - 1 piece of writing (210 words)
I've never actually tested this, but it should work fine. The worst it's going to do is mangle the title into something unreadable - which you won't be able to see because I've not yet programmed the participant pages. If you hold off posting titles in foreign scripts until the 3rd I can do some testing and double check that it's going to work for you :). 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Oh... I would really like to join this one, but I'm bitter about missing this thread for so long that it's now a million pages long. Is there any other info-page than http://www.languagechallenge.surrealix.com/? I would like to join for Ukrainian, but I have a ridiculously small amount of books in Ukrainian and no prospect of visiting the Ukraine before the fall. Despair.

Thank you.
I also don't twitter. Well tommorrow it starts. I think I do an easy start with watching a movie. I am glad, that some people support me with the challenge, motivating; and some already offered help with Japanese. One sent me a japanese children book for the start. I am still thinking, how to put the reading into my daily live. I will at least spend 1 hour a day for reading, except the days I work 8 hours (I usually work only 6 h) Later on, I probably will also use the time riding to work for reading. I wish everyone good luck. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I might do Spanish and read and watch 10 different books and movies 10 times. I should get a lot out of it.
My current active language is Chinese, but I think it's going to be a long time before I can read and write Chinese well enough to understand native material. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Which part of Norway do you live in? I do not have any Ukrainian books, but I have a few films where you can chose either Russian or Ukrainian language - do you live anywhere near Oslo? Ask your local library to get you some books in Ukrainian. Even if they have none themselves, they can borrow from other libraries. 1 person has voted this message useful |
