I had to let this go because of other projects, but I hope it will happen again sometime in the future!

I've also given up, mostly because I'm having trouble finding useful courses in Memrise now. I'm still learning vocabulary, but I haven't been counting it outside of Memrise, so I have no idea of my numbers anymore.

Vocabulary Challenge finished - in my case for Modern Greek. 901 out of 901 words. 3794 out of 3794 on Memrise Greek.
I finished the Memrise course but was 14 words short of 900. I had over 130 words on Ignore so to hit the 900 I removed 14 words from Ignore, learned them, then removed one more for luck, so 901.

Thanks! It's cool to see our results in graphical format.

For the last one, would you be able to add what our target numbers were too? Or maybe a percentage graph?

Unfortunately the second half of this month has been a bit of a study washout for me due to health reasons. Having learned little more than 50 words, it still brings my total up to 500 new words in Hawaiian for this challenge. And although it may only be 25% of my original goal (note to future self: always under-promise and over-deliver ;) ), I like to think of it instead as hopscotching one step closer to my goal of reaching B2 in Hawaiian by the end of the year. Well done to everyone who made some progress during this challenge and are now a step or two closer their own personal language goals, and a big mahalo to CurlySue for setting this all up.
