I went to the new website for the 6 Week Challenge and all I keep getting is "Sorry something went wrong." Is the site down?

I'm signed up for the May 6wc, with Hindi as my chosen language of focus. However, I will likely spend as much time on each of my other two focus languages: German and French. Hopefully these 6 weeks will set the pace for the Super Challenge.

I have effectively been doing this challenge on my own but I have been vacillating on whether to actually sign up for it since it started. I finally decided I want to: but is it too late? And am I able to log hours retroactively? I have kept a log, for my own purposes, and in case I did decide to sign up.

Please correct any of my non-native languages, if needed!

The tracking webpage allows you to choose the date for each update, so it's quite possible to backdate updates if you need to.

Went ahead and joined for August as well, Spanish for me. Gonna just keep doing these FSI reviews until then before I start actually going hard at it during the challenge.

Does the next 6WC start tomorrow, the 1st of November?

If so, I'm signing up with a focus on Italian. I've only been studying it for 5 weeks, so I hope to use these 6 weeks to make a big leap forward!

I'll join you for ES - I could do with an incentive to knuckle down & do some study.

It's a little lonely in this 6wc... only 5 participants!
