It's up to you. And maybe depends on the music, too - some songs have long instrumental sections and others don't.

It's not a rule, but just how I decided to deal with it. There's some certain amount of time when it's just the music, but I am not insane enough to count time that precise. Sometimes I logged music full-time - like when I was trying to sing along or just reading lyrics carefully. As for counting full/ half attention - I never did that with music. I guess I thought 1/3 contains that point already.
The point is that you evaluate this stuff all by yourself. For example, there was a rule/ an advice to log movies watched with subtitles only divided by two, but I don't agree with that and log it full-time even in English now - I am paying attention to the language anyway. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I ended up logging one third - when listening actively. Sometimes when I listen to music I just tune out, and
then obviously I would not log anything, and in order to log full time I would have to sit down and listen and write down words. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I wasn't sure whether to take part, as I'm still recovering from recently being sick. However, as I'm almost back to normal, I decided to register with Irish. It's the language I love the most and which I really want to improve during the next six weeks.
Good luck to everyone and beirigí bua! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I've got a lot of days off coming up, so I'm hoping to make some big jumps. And I'm
already experiencing both the ups and downs that I remember from the last time I did a 6WC challenge: The good stuff: - Thanks to timing everything I know exactly how long it takes me to read 20 pages in French (I can do it over lunch) and Italian (it takes me all week). - The graphs are a good reality check: I wasn't spending as much time reading as I thought, and I was watching far more tv. - It helps me keep a good balance between Assimil, regular courses, and super- challenge stuff, as well as a balance between Italian and French. Not so good: - It's easy to get obsessive with this (i.e., start stopwatch, practice anki, stop watch, log onto twitter, start timer for twenty minutes, read Assimil, etc ... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The 6WCBOT is no longer updating my stats when I Tweet updates. I've waited several hours now with no
updates. Has anyone had this happen before? I note that others' stats are being updated so I don't believe it is a system-wide issue, and I am having no problem with the Super Challenge Bot updating correctly. I have emailed the admin for assistance, but I thought someone else may have previously had this problem and corrected it. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
