Isn't this term sort of frowned upon these days? As far as I've heard, this was the official name of the language in the days of the Former Yugoslavia, but nowadays people prefer to refer to the languages as either Croatian or Serbian, of course depending on where they're from. Also, if you have the chance to compare the same text in both languages (for example in product descriptions or whatever - yes, I look at these things and I'm happy if they're printed in various languages!), you will often see that there are differences. I'd say choose one of the two as your main language, and try to pay special attention to where they differ if you study both at the same time? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's mostly Croatians that frown:) Many Serbian members list it as their native language, and wiktionary uses the term as well.
Some of the differences are a bit artificial afaiu... On the whole, I don't think the situation is that different from the one faced by a learner of English or Spanish. Only add some sore political issues:( 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Oops, I goofed.
Is there any way to change your target language for the 6WC once you register on the bot? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Right now, the only way is to tweet "I #unregister" and then re-register with your chosen language. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I've just registered with French. Japanese really needs to be my focus for most of November with an exam coming up, but I am leaving myself the option to go crazy for French in December, by which time I'll probably be sick of Japanese anyway...

It seems like there aren't that many people doing the challenge this time. Usually there were about 70 of us, now a little bit over 30 and the challenge starts on Thursday. I guess people are busy :)
I'm doing Portuguese for the second time. I'd be over the moon if I managed to do 3 h of studying every day. That is my goal. EDIT: Let's keep it real. 2 h of study ;). Edited by pesahson on 29 October 2012 at 7:00am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm signed up for Hindi this time - prior to the challenge I've only spent 1 hour on it, so starting from a very low base. I don't expect to get much done at the start of the challenge, but should get more done by the middle of next month. Looking forward to it very much - mainly because I get to learn a new alphabet, but also because I think it's a really nice sounding language.
