6WC 6 Week Challenge - 2022

Sprachprofi wrote:The 6 Week Challenge is a challenge to upgrade your language skills in one language from beginner to something more worthwhile, and to see if you can find more time to study languages when competing with other participants in a global highscore. 6 Week Challenges start on February 1st, May 1st, August 1st and November 1st every year, so there is a rough 6 weeks on / 6 weeks off pattern. Note that you can only do the 6 Week Challenge with a language that you're a beginner at or lower-intermediate at most. This allows for a more just comparison between participants.

ISO 639-1 codes here

The three tags #ie #multilingual #linguistics which are all grouped together as "Multilingual" on the scoreboard can be used if you don't want to differentiate between several languages.

Also available are: Nahuatl, #Ancient_Greek, #ASL, #Cantonese. I don't know what the tag is for Nahuatl.

Putting the word "yesterday" into a tweet, with or without hashtag, adds the score in that tweet to the previous day rather than the current day.

The bot is on Central European Time, UTC+01:00, GMT+01:00.

I've signed up with a brand new language (for me, that is :lol: ) - Finnish. I just got the message that I will be going to a summer course in Finland this year. I had applied for the same course in Faroese that has now been cancelled two summers in a row, but these summer courses have been more popular than usual this year, for obvious reasons, so while that course will be taking place this year, it will be without me. I don't expect I'll be doing an awful lot of studying (the course starts a few days after the challenge is finished and requires no preparation), but I'll try to do some Drops daily and maybe read through a grammar book if I can find something good at the library.

in one language from beginner to something more worthwhile


Can I still join with German? It seems that 6WC is one of the few things really working on me...
Another candidate is a "new again" Spanish, that is far more rusty, than I had feared. Or still intermediate Italian. But I really need German.
And I'm looking forward to the SC sign up.
