Re: The 2021 365 Day Challenge - Rules, Sign Up and Discussion
I'm signing up and am serious! And I like the rules, as they are set!
I'd like to sign up for two, a specific one, and a generic. So, the target will be 60 minutes a day (extensive reading or listening doesn't count), divided among two challenges.
1.German
2.Generic (Spanish, Italian, Hebrew)
Thanks for creating and organising the challenge!

Re: The 2021 365 Day Challenge - Rules, Sign Up and Discussion
The initial posts on this thread have been edited, altered, removed and/or swapped around to accommodate for better display of the new rules and deletion of the older rules from 2019 and 2020.
Previous rules for the 2019 and 2020 365/366 Day Challenges were displayed for consultation among the initial posts.
Upon editing the new set of rules for 2021 now appear in their place.
There is very little change to the rules for the 2021 challenge compared to 2020. The New Language category that Sedge created in 2020 has been removed. I see this as redundant. If you want to start a new language, that's fine, do so, enter the challenge with it, no need to have a category for it this time around. It appeared to have been an idea that Sedge wanted due to perhaps having such enthusiasm for a new language he was to study that year and encouraging others to participate. Nothing wrong with that, I just wanted to tidy up the rules a little.
Some other editing has occurred which is predominantly rewording.
In 2019 the penalty for a missed day was -7 days/points. In 2020 it was, you miss one day, you lose one day/point. I'm sticking with Sedge's simplistic approach here that he had seemingly gained plenty of positive support for.
We are at the beginning of this Challenge, so feel free (I consider the end of Jan as the cut off) to air any other ideas if you would like to suggest a review of the rules (provided we can reach consensus). Penalties? Bonus point systems? Streaks? Or keep it nice and straight forward as it is?
Good luck everyone!
Edit: I'm yet to set up the scoring thread yet.

Re: The 2021 365 Day Challenge - Rules, Sign Up and Discussion
I am signing up for Danish. That will be the best way for me to ensure that other languages do not push Danish aside.
It did this challenge in 2019, and ended with a perfect score. It was a wonderful gift to myself. I didn't follow through in 2020, but I am not going to berate myself for that. Onward.
