That's it for the 6 Week Challenge this time.
Top target-language learners: 1. JPP4 2. HComputatralis 3. Ketutar 4. aloysius___ 5. smallwhite_hk Learners with best total time spent on languages: 1. JPP4 2. smallwhite_hk 3. Ketutar 4. HComputatralis 5. aloysius___ (with 18 minutes difference to hribecek) Way to go!!! Everyone else, don't be demotivated. If you work full-time, it is impossible to spend 4 hours on your target language and 3 hours on other languages every single day, as JPP4 did - that should just be your guideline for when you're on vacation ;-) Anyone who did a lot more hours than usual should consider himself as having won this challenge. All the more if you manage to keep up some of the new-found good habits, and continue to squeeze out your time table for extra language-learning time. Go you! The next challenge will be in February. Have a look at the planning going on at http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=30339 . Thank you all for participating! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This is when I'm really happy with the new graphs: I just saw that JPP4 studied languages
for 795 minutes (more than 13 hours) one of the days! Also, his typical session length is 30-45 minutes, like mine, so that's encouraging, and apparently he spent most of that time on listening. http://6wc.learnlangs.com/stats/user/JPP4 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I never did 13 hours in one day! That was 2 days' work: November 7, updated after midnight central European time, was added to tha time I spent on November 8. To avoid that happening again I then started recording my updates as they were done, not in a lump sum at the end of the day. As for time, I have quite a bit at my disposal, my part time work averaging about 40 hours a month, not a week. Computer maintenance (assistance, upgrading, repairing) to help the more technologically challenged members of the local foreign, mostly retired community. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In a way you're responsible for my first place overall, by your not updating properly after the first week. It was obvious that we were vying for first place overall and then you disappeared. Only to pop up from time to time, but never updating fully. (Not even on the last day.) So I was left guessing!!! And as a result worked my *ss off to try and stay in touch with the phantom runner. Would you please not do that sort of updating again in future. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You didn't have to guess. I work very steadily. I did about the same hours I did last time (only 2% difference). The phantom runner was studying for an exam and was more interested in studying than in Twittering. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This was my first 6WC and I found it to be extremely motivating. My goal was to finish in the top 15. I ended up at #10 (icelinkdesign). I'm very pleased with that and can't wait until the next challenge. So thank you for doing this!
