I'm considering learning a little Korean by watching ... DVDs ... Similar to victorhart's ... experiment, but backed by some formal study ...


I decided to do Russian instead, and I will just learn it normally. I'm a complete beginner.

I just can't bring myself to register with a Super Challenge language, although it would be great for my Swedish or Croatian. I'll do Czech instead, although as always my total score will also matter a lot to me.

I'm gonna try it out!~ (I've never participated in one of these, but I was hearing about them and was interested in entering, but never knew when they happen.)

I'm pretty sure at most I'd be a lower intermediate so I should be safe enough. (I still consider myself somewhat of a beginner though.)

Edit:
I need help the bot doesn't seem to be recognizing my minutes?

I'll register with Russian, again, and as always I am hoping that this will be my last time :-) I am a lower B1 in
talking, but I am in the A-range for everything else.


How do you guys deal with listening to music by the way? I listen to Russian music for between 30-45
minutes every morning. I try to listen actively and pick out new words, and nod in recognition for the words I
know, but I would not be comfortable awarding full time. How do you register that, half of the time, one third of
the time?

I'm not sure, but maybe since the challenge starts on November 1 and you were posting
this on October 31 the bot wasn't active yet? Unless it had started in your timezone,
then I'm not sure.

I will log, other than Spanish that is my target this time, also Dutch Where I'm a Upper A1 / almost A2 and French
Where I'm a lower B1 and more or less A2 in grammar that is my weakest skill.

OysterPancake posted this at 1:49am according to my timezone. By that point I had already submitted some time and it worked fine. AFAIU the 6wcbot counts on your honesty and doesn't check your timezone. It's even allowed to submit the next morning when the challenge ends, for example if you were reading in bed at midnight.

Good question. Ss there any convention about it? I also listen a lot of Spanish music.
Did anyone log music listening in the previous 6WCs?
