Although there are several languages I would love to try with this, I think I'm going to have to be counted in for French. My final school exam in the subject will be around the end of this challenge, so it only makes sense. Although I won't be twittering, sorry, unless strongly persuaded otherwise. I just want to avoid falling into another internet time sink!

I was avoiding twitter like the plague for the longest time for the same reason, and it seems like others participating have the same concern, too. When I finally joined I decided not to tell any of my friends about my account and swore to only follow accounts that tweet in one of my target languages (Khatzumoto of AJATT, whose language- related insights and Japanese media recommendations induced me to join Twitter, is the only one I follow who tweets in English). Thus, twitter has become far from a time sink, a great study tool! I have lots of sentences (all natural and colloquial) from there in my Anki decks, and it's also great when someone I'm following in Japanese or German posts a link to an interesting article or video in their language. I've discovered new bands, kept up with local trends, learned new slang, etc. I was never able to use Facebook in a way that was conducive to language study, as much as I tried, but the setup of Twitter is much better for it, and also doesn't have all those distractions that waste your time (like albums, games, etc. It's just pure text). Just a thought :) Edited by Lucky Charms on 22 April 2011 at 12:36pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

So far, 20 people have signed up using Twitter. You can see the list (and later their
scores) at http://6wc.learnlangs.com/ . This will be even larger than the Dutch challenge! I can't wait! Edited by Sprachprofi on 22 April 2011 at 7:32pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Regarding Dutch: thank you MichaelM204351 for the Dutch with ease suggestion. I am stocking up on coursebooks but am now on the lookout for phrasebooks/phraselists, especially of the kind available online. Any suggestion to this effect would be greatly appreciated.
Also: could anyone give me the link to the previous Dutch challenge thread? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
