Damn, I looked at the iTalki challenge, which sounds great, but I unfortunately am not in a financial situation at the moment to purchase 12 hour-long lessons over June. There's still some time before it starts though, maybe things will change. I feel like that would lead to tremendous improvements.

I'd probably join in the challenge except that summer is suppose to be the time we have a break and relax. On
the other hand, I'm planning to watch a lot of French language videos. It would be nice to do things that are enjoyable and learn at the same time. Going back to phrase books, audio resources geared to learning isn't my idea of spending the summer break. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's a good point. Maybe it'll be like a mini-Superchallenge (reading and watching movies/media). Everyone keeps track of pages/hours, whoever has the most will win, clean and simple. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Does it have to be in the same language? ;)

I don't know which language you are planning to improve, but if it's French, you can find Moroccan and Tunisian teachers for very low prices. If it's German... shell out. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Serpent - hmmmm... I guess the plus-side of doing multiple languages is that the challenge can encompass all of the languages you are learning but the downside would be that you're missing out on the point of the challenge, being the mass-exposure you would get to a one or two languages (assuming you mean adding up all of the hours across languages). I guess it's up to the participant, I'll only be focusing on German and French (mainly German). What do you guys think?
Tavros - I just looked into it. Unfortunately the cheaper ones (5-6/hr) are for practice and I am nowhere near a point in French where I can practice conversation. However, there are a few for 9-10/hr that do specified lessons so that may be an option. Thanks for the insight, this might be doable!

Actually you probably are. Tutors are ideal for practicing at a lower level. If you say you
can't do conversational classes then you are being too harsh on yourself. I have completed them in pure Tarzan speak. If you know some words and can link sentences you will be good really fast. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
