Surrealix, when I tried to switch my regular half challenges to the new major challenges, the bot signed me up for regular Super Challenges instead. Hopefully, it's just a little bug or something easily fixed. I'd be grateful if you'd take a look at it again and see what the problem is. Thanks!

I guess it thinks you've got enough spare time for another 100 books and films ;). Thanks for the heads-up though, I've fixed the bug and corrected your entries. In a (hopefully) unrelated problem, my webhost has been having some connectivity problems recently and the Language Bot has unfortunately missed some tweets in the last 12 hours. If yours was one of those affected, the best solution is to just re-submit it. Otherwise drop me a note and I'll get it back into the list for you. I'll be keeping a closer eye on things in the next few days to try and catch the issue figure out how to prevent this becoming a regular occurance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This in only semi-related to the Super Challenge, but... Does Norwegian or Swedish have more literature? I'm debating picking one of them up for the Assimil experiment, but I want to choose the one that has the most literature available. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I can certainly vouch you can see 100 movies and not master anything. Movies are word poor and a "book" can be anything. The average novel has about 350 pages or 100,000 words. An average movie has less than 10,000 words. Some 100 books would create a corpus of about 10 million words which is sufficient for incidental learning of many words.You'd need 1000 movies to match that. Such corpus would be less rich, with greater repetion of more basic words which is probably ideal for language learning. Be advised that you can easily run through 2 million words with few or no instances of some indispensable words. I like this idea, though, it fits great with that other challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The definitions of the challenges in the Twitter/Bot page don't match the ones given in
the Total Info Reference (TIR) thread. Can someone please tell me under what category to register for 100 films + 100 30 mins conversations (no books and no writing)? This is a Super Duper Challenge as per the TIR thread, but the option on the Twitter/Bot page makes the books mandatory. There's no option the Twitter/Bot page for a Half Super Duper. I haven't read all 88 pgs in this thread, so please point me to the appropriate message if this has already been discussed. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It is super duper because you add 100 conversations to 100 books and 100 movies. I'd like to propose a new 100 items theme for the 2013 TAC.
100 items in any language 100 conversations 100 short stories 100 poems 100 novels 100 movies 100 letters 100 comics 100 non-fiction 100 sitcom episodes 100 cartoons 100 lessons 100 newspaper articles 100 lang-8 posts 100 dramas 100 soccer matches 100 essays 100 forum posts in a foreign language of your own choosing or any combination of languages. If a particular theme plays a big part in your language learning, divide it by language: 100 French movies 100 Italian movies The pooper challenge counts towards the 100 items as long as the activity has been performed after Dec. 1 2012. 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sounds great! I love that you included football matches:)))
Here's what I'm aiming for: 100 matches in Italian, 100 matches in Portuguese (including European), 100 matches in Slavic languages, 100 matches in misc languages 100 poems in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Belarusian, Croatian, Romanian, 100 misc poems 100 short stories in Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Belarusian, Croatian, German 100 cartoons 100 lang-8 posts I hope this can help me with my super challenge goals:) But I miss my pre-challenge spontaneous choices so it will be nice that my random items count for something too:) For "misc" I'll be trying to include one item in each language I have listed. Are there any cartoons in Latin?;) at least there's poetry for sure... Given the flexibility of this challenge, watching/reading something more than once doesn't count, right? What about audiobooks/recordings of poems? Did the challenge start on 00:00 December 1st? I've already watched one match in Italian and will hopefully watch one in Ukrainian soon. and then 2-3 more later... edit: made a justpaste it note. I won't be making detailed lists of what I do.
