That last box made me laugh out loud! :lol:

Oh I know that feeling. I remembered my dislike this morning when I couldn't log into new account (I quit years ago). But I emptied my cache and all is well. So I don't lost time, I've made a twitter handle specifically for this challenge, and I only follow "the bot"!

I just think this is a great concept. I'm almost sad to think of one day "outgrowing" the 6WC (no intermediates). But I guess there's always a new beginning!

No worries, you can still compete in the Total Score part, and you can also joing the AI6WC, which has had two rounds for now, and is meant exactly for the outgrown ones, in any sense of the word that you see fitting for your learning situation.

So, onwards 6WC!

I've just registered (I hope) for French. I'm probably above A2, but I'm currently studying for the DELF A2 exam, so I fit. Perhaps next month I will find out I'm not really above A2, who knows? :lol:

My projected daily activities: listening to podcasts, Kwiziq lessons, a bit of writing, reading (silently and out loud).

Looks like the bot isn't registering new tweets anymore? My last registered tweet was on the 23rd, and as far as I can tell, this seems to be a problem for everyone.

There's a message over on Twitter:

So... should we log here?

Yes - at least people can do that if they want to. It's nice to see how others are doing, it's part of the fun. And by now, I've lost track of how I am doing myself too. I have all my data a little here and there, but I'd need a little time to gather it together and get an overview. I'll try to do that by the end of today.

I suggest that if people update here, they post the time they have spent since last update, as well as the new total time. And any tags they want to in addition to that.
