PM to Sprachprofi to clear this up?

Good suggestion, done and done! Now just to wait for a reply.

The 6WC is not just a "study like mad for 6 weeks" challenge. It's a "study like mad and
see huge improvement in just 6 weeks" challenge.

I'm new here, so please help me understand, but how is the challenge determining how
you've improved? All I see is an hours counter.

Also a general question: do hours for the Super Challenge and the 6WC get to count
twice?

The challenge doesn't determine anything. You have to see for yourself. I personally can say that it helps if
you know precisely what do you want to do and where it takes you to. Btw, thus I think it's okay to participate
with any level if you have a clear target like "watch X hours of series, read X books, study X textbooks etc".

Would it be possible to add Serbo-Croatian as a language, following the linguistic criteria rather than political ones reflected in ISO?

I am tentatively signing up with Macedonian. (Tentatively because I'm not sure how much
time I will realistically be able to devote to it in February).

I've had no reply so count me out of this one. Had all been in agreement it was okay to participate, obviously I
would have. Sprachprofi seems to be MIA. I'll just have to see this as a good thing and resolve to use the
6WC for my next language when I choose to start on my next. Good luck to all and thanks for everyone's
input.

Fry a fryberg

PS I actually came across a rooster on the side of the road while riding my bike out in the country yesterday.
Poor thing looked dehydrated, I poured all my water out onto the ground to make a bit of a puddle. It didn't
seem interested. I couldn't take it back to town, thing would be too loud. Hopefully it's okay out there finding
enough food.

The timing could not work any better. I just finished my first week of language school and have been
assessed as an upper-level beginner. I've got 6 more weeks here and we'll start with intermediate
material on Monday.

I'm in 100%.
