It seems that every time I bump this thread to do my end of the month spurt, we get a registration from a new participant. Nice! :D

I just delivered my last French assignment, and clocked in at 12366 words, which means that I reached my goal of 13600. My total time for speaking is now at 5 h 44 m. Since we are now in week 14 and final goal of 50 hours averages to just below one hour per week, that means I'm around 8 hours behind right now. Hopefully, I will have reduced that number by the end of next month. So far, I'm very happy with my current habit of reading a small passage aloud every day.

I would love to join because I love challenges!

Language: Spanish
Challenge: Audio first, then both audio and writing
Current language level: B1/B2
Willing to correct language: Yes, for English
Comments: I've been begrudgingly stuck at the intermediate plateau for years now, and I'm ready to get to C1.

Language: Thai
Challenge: Audio first, then both audio and writing
Current language level: A2
Comments: It's my ancestral language and I feel somewhat obligated to have an advanced, if not fluent level, in this language. My main goal would be writing (since my writing is shoddy at best) and audio (in the sense of remembering the vocabulary and using it appropriately in conversations).


If I have a voice recording that I need to be corrected, do I just post a link on this thread?

Try to find someone in the thread who said they are willing to help with corrections and PM them.

Does translation count as output? I seem to be sticking to it.

It went badly for me. I blame covid. :lol: No really, too many people working/studying from home in my household. I went okay until sometime in March. Oh, well. That’s my excuse.

The 2020 Challenge closes in a few days, and I've opened a new thread for the new year. If you've won, or nearly won, or had a go at it in 2020 then let us all know your results in this thread.
