Ohhhh.. So it is like:

There was a Master come unto the earth, born in the holy land of Indiana, raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne. The Master learned of this world in the public schools of Indiana, and as he grew, in his trade as a mechanic of automobiles. But the Master had learnings from other lands and other schools, from other lives that he had lived. He remembered these, and remembering became wise and strong, so that others saw his strength and came to him for counsel.

You might be getting somewhere. However, I'd lean more towards:

On n'établit pas une dictature pour sauvegarder une révolution. On fait une révolution pour établir une dictature.

traduit du livre 1984, par George Orwell. Oh, qu'ils sont si nombreuses, les coïncidences, croyez-vous pas ?

Translation:
George:
One doesn't establish a dictatorship to safeguard a revolution. One creates a revolution to establish a dictatorship.

Me:
Oh, there are so many coincidences, don't you think?

Thank you Smaragd, and no worries

Hey guys,

I've decided I can't wait until the end of the challenge. I've decided to award myself all the trappings, gold bullion and jewells etc that come with winning this challenge.

Thanks for participating!

Okay, okay.... we'll do this your way then. Good luck everyone! May the enthusiasm remain with you!

I will sign up for:

1. Spanish
2. Generic (Chinese, Korean, Russian, German etc).

I have been studying Spanish and the other languages (generic) since January 1st.

Wait, what? There was bullion involved? I missed that in the description...These challenges are so involved!

PM,
I started the challenge on January 1st (Danish).

Thanks Elsa. I assumed as such, but your message when you started said Jan 2nd for me at my end due to my time zone, so I just needed to clarify. Hope your studies are going well!

Yeah I know, usually it's cash, but hey with the unpredictability of the global financial situation, I thought hey I'm gonna put my trust in gold. Especially since I'll be the one winning it!

And the real reason I ran to grab the gold and all the trappings before the year had barely started was that I could see me faltering in the coming days, so I thought, get your hands on the gold while you still can. We don't want those other diligent language learners cashing in their gold for extravagant... well... things... that you could have for yourself!

That's right, I MISSED A DAY OF STUDY! A perfect score in 2019 and now in '21 I've already missed one. Well peoples, you can stop worshipping me. I'm not the language learning king you had put all your faith in. I'm a false language learning prophet!

May the second best language learner win this challenge! I swear, I'm really normal, I promise.
