I've decided to also do a super challenge, but on my own: less stressful.
By December 31st, 2013 I intend to have completed at least
1.000 hours of Japanese (I'll try for a monthly average of 2 hours a day)
600 hours of Russian (monthly average of 1 hour per day)
I'll try to also do between 300 and 600 hours of Dutch (reading, and audio books while doing mindless chores) and modern Greek (to B2 hopefully).
I've backdated the challenge to the beginning of the May 6WC and now, after 2 months, I have accumulated:
Japanese: 112 hours (nearly good)
Russian: 73,5 hrs (very good)
Greek: 28 hours
Dutch: 42,3 hrs
What I expect to have achieved by the end of 2013 is:
Russian: The equivalent of C1 (all round). I feel like I'm stagnating at upper intermediate, but an extra 600 hours of drastically increasing my active vocabulary should get me to advanced fluency.
Japanese: The equivalent of a good B2 (listening, speaking and reading, writing by hand is NOT my aim. What have we got computers for?).
Greek: upper intermediate (should be feasible, I find Greek easy, far easier than Russian, though I do know far more Russian because I've been grappling with it for donkey's years).
Dutch: increase active vocabulary.
There is no urgency about these latter 2, it's the first two that have been problem children long enough, they'd better grow up or else...
I'll update once a month, or whenever the whim strikes me. But won't go into any detailed explanations of what I've been up to, either too time consuming, or too boring, or both.
That'll be it for now.
