Annual Output Challenge - Registration and Discussion Thread

[rdearman]

How is everyone doing? Any winners yet?

[lingua]

My bars show my progress. I'm slightly behind pace for Italian recording and way behind on Portuguese writing though I should still be able to make it. I need to get going with Italian writing and Portuguese recording. With my recent Portuguese tutoring I'm more confident about my pronunciation which was stopping me before.

LANGUAGE: French
CHALLENGE: Full
CURRENT LANGUAGE LEVEL: B1-ish for active skills, B2-ish for passive skills
WILLING TO CORRECT LANGUAGE: Yes (English)

[lingua]

LANGUAGE: Portuguese
CHALLENGE: Full Challenge
CURRENT LANGUAGE LEVEL: A2ish though reading is somewhere in the B range
COMMENTS: Recording is problematic because my pronunciation is not so good and I want to make sure I'm speaking correctly otherwise the exercise is pointless.

LANGUAGE: Italian
CHALLENGE: Full Challenge
CURRENT LANGUAGE LEVEL: B2ish for most skills and C1+ for reading
COMMENTS: I need to write in Italian and will again try to get that going in spite of all the failures in past years. I was previously too ambitious but I managed to record just over 35 hours in 2022.

Edit: I mixed my languages up originally and have updated this to Full Challenge for both languages.

Question: Suppose I have an hour-long conversation-based lesson with a teacher and I record it, do I count it as 1 hour for the challenge or should I try to estimate how much time I actually spent talking? Perhaps 30 min assuming it's not a one-sided conversation.

I would think that you should estimate 30 minutes unless you are convinced it is more. In which case you need to probably time it.

But in this challenge I am happy for people to just follow you conscience and put down what you feel is correct.
