If you include the word yesterday somewhere in your tweet, it will count for the previous day:Don't write #yesterday unless you want to use it as a tag for your activity.

Halfway:

I'm appreciating the attitude I've developed for Setswana (not target). It's become a pleasure to focus on this.
Hebrew (target) is struggling a bit, as I am frustrated at the low "stickiness" of the language. For the challenge, I've added some TV series and films which i wouldn't normally do at this stage - it's both good and bad. It's certainly more exposure but I might have spent some of that time actually studying learning material. Overall, I'm satisfied with the challenge so far.

I think I end up doing far less studying during the 6WC than otherwise. So this will probably be the last one for me, at least for a while. It worked much better when I was just studying one language and was at a low level, but now most of my efforts go to languages at a higher level rather than my target language. Also, it seems when I push myself to do more, I end up doing less. I need my lazy time in order to relax and assimilate the language. When I try to reduce that time, I learn less and after a few weeks, start to rebel and study even less.

Halfway update: I've studied for 30h37 in 3 weeks! Currently in 4th place, and have been bouncing around between 3rd and 5th.

My biggest chunks of time so far have been Pimsleur and reading, each about 1/3 of my total study time. In Pimsleur, I've gotten up to halfway through French level 2. I just might be able to finish the level by the end of the challenge!

I feel like I've been making great progress, especially with my reading.

I did well for the first...Three weeks. I knew I should have taken a screen shot when I (momentarily) held 1st place, as I knew it wouldn't last (and I was right).

I don't think I'm so much burned out on Japanese, as much as being burned out on keeping track of my times. I was also reluctant to study for mere snippets of time, as I couldn't quantify these for the challenge. So for now, I will throw in the towel.

Hi guys. I'm making a competitor to Sprachprofi's 6WCBot, tuned in a different way. I made a thread with a poll about its duration and would appreciate your input.

Anyone else having trouble with the bot tonight? It’s not accepting my tweets. I tried rewording one of them and it still didn’t accept it. Has anyone else tried to tweet anything in the last few hours?

Same issue here, no response.

yeah it's not responding to anyone i've told Judith on twitter, but i think it would be good to write her on fb too
