6WC 6 Week Challenge - 2023

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'm in, for Japanese. I need a kick in the pants as my studying efforts have gotten sluggish lately. I do not tweet, so I won't be botting or whatever.

I'd like to try for Portuguese. I don't have a twitter so I won't be taking part in that. I work full time but I have a language study in Portugal coming up in late February. I'm aiming to learn enough that I can be placed in the A1 class rather than the absolute beginners class.

I have registered with Japanese. Ideally, I will not burnout half way through this time :lol:

@CDRT3D

I just want to get back into the habit of studying and stick with it.
