A third and hopefully final bash at Hungarian for me as my target language.
I also hope to break a few of my personal records from my other two 6 week challenges. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

3 Esperanto learners have signed up with the bot so far, and with Firevin and you it
will be 5, Cavesa. I expect more to come.
Separate tweets only. And you have to mention time units. And you should adjust those time units according to your concentration on the target language - for example, using Anki for 10 minutes is probably 100% concentration for 10 minutes = 10 minutes. However, when you're watching a movie for example, part of your concentration is definitely on the storyline. If you're using native-language subtitles, which distract even further from the target language, you might award yourself only 30 minutes score for 2 hours of movie time. You have to judge it yourself because there's no one value that fits all, and I'm relying on people being honest about this. There are no prizes for winning after all, they'd only be cheating themselves. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah I know you need to mention the time units, that's what I meant by "the format is different". Thanks a lot. Can I assign more than one non-language tag? say "2h #lr #harrypotter #danish" vs "2h #movie #harrypotter #italian".

Hi :) Just one question: could we participate with a language we can speak better than a B1 level? I chose German two times in the last challenges and definitely I'm not a beginner any more. But I don't have time for anything else :(

Yes, you can.
You can't have German as your target language then, because target language work has to stay comparable at some level - it's a lot harder to spend time on a beginner language than on a language you know well, because there are so many fun language activities that become available as you progress. As an extreme work-around, you could declare a totally different target language that you have no intention of studying, say Nahuatl, log zero hours for that, and log German as a non-target language (counting towards your total, as it should). This way you won't have an unfair advantage in the leaderboard. ... Or how'bout studying Esperanto? Knowing Italian, French and German, that won't take much time ;-) Edited by Sprachprofi on 22 January 2012 at 12:19am 3 persons have voted this message useful |
