The Tadoku is indeed about reading as much as possible within one month, but ONLY in foreign languages. A lot
of the participants are English speakers learning Japanese. For them, more than anyone, it is a difficult step to start reading in their target language, so they use this challenge to motivate themselves and each other. Many start with children's books or manga - if you read Japanese, there is actually a scale of easiness somewhere. From what I understand, Japanese schools are also adopting Tadoku for learning English. Progress in the Tadoku is measured in pages read, rather than time spent. So in short, Tadoku doesn't have to be about advanced languages, but it's probable that you'll choose at least an intermediate-level language for it. In order to get the synergy effect, you're encouraged to only read in one language during the Tadoku and you cannot register with more than 3. For the 6WC, your main target language has to be a beginner or lower-intermediate level for the sake of keeping things comparable - once you're at intermediate level or beyond, it's a lot easier to spend a lot of hours on a language. But that restriction is only for the main target language in the Twitter-based scoring. The other languages can be any level, and yes the intended purpose of the 6 Week Challenge is to encourage you to find new ways to integrate language study into a busy schedule, to spend more time on language study and to possibly develop some good habits that you'll carry on. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hello team 'ne nur', I'd like to join you if that's alright. My Esperanto is definitely
elementary (and also quite eroded, I'm afraid) but I was planning on studying it during one of the 6 week challenges, possibly the one in February. Five hours of Swahili sounds like fun! Apart from that my target languages for 2012 will be French, German, Old English and possibly Arabic, Greek, Indonesian, Spanish and Norwegian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
