I the movie pulp fiction the gangster asked the victim a question, and the victim just keeps saying "What?"
The gangster says, is What a country? What language do they speak in what? Say what again!
Lots of swearing so I won't link here, but just check YouTube for What and Pulp Fiction.

Hi, so I already registered for Farsi. But as it's still possible, I will also change to Generic , because the reality it's that I am learning different languages. So it will be mainly Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew, and from time to time, some others.

No problem, but you need to look at the rules for generic because they are a little different (I think)

Re: The 2023 365 Day Challenge Rules and discussion thread
I'm in for German (I started last month, but I'll note the beginning on January the first for my convenience), and Russian (Starting on January 15th). I'm going to actively study Both of them
I don't know if maintaining a languagy mainly through audiovisual content consumption can count as LEARNING for this challenge. If so, I'd add Portuguese, Italian and French.

You'll have to confirm this, but I believe the rule is basically if the content is a stretch for you, then it can count. Or, put another way, if you're consuming content that is below your level, then don't count it. If it's above your level, or at your level but you're learning from it, then it can count.
Though, personally, I would add those 3 as a Generic option, since you've already committed to 60 minutes each day.
