I'm loving Swedish!

Is there a short form for the language tag "#multilingual", please? Like how "#German" can be "#de".
Or, is there any catch-all language tag that is 2 letters long?

One hour until midnight, Pacific Standard Time, and I've signed up for my first 6WC, in Japanese. I've been very relaxed with my language learning for several months, progressing at a steady stroll. Now I want to see what happens when I get intense again.

I signed up for Twitter after years of resistance, just to communicate with the bot. Any other newbies to 6WC signing up?

I thought I would do Italian this time but changed my mind. Russian it is. My goal is to put in 100 hours.

If I make spelling mistakes, Or if I construct a sentence that doesn't sound natural, please quote me and suggest a more "natural" sounding phrase. I might post audio vocaroos, so I appreciate commentary on my accent. I welcome any criticism.

The first level is A1 (not that you have to follow CEFR or anything). A0 was added by some language schools and now individual learners to emphasize that a beginner is not automatically A1 in the language :)
