4 weeks behind us!
2 more weeks to go!
Is everyone pushing themselves hard, harder, hardest?
> I'm still signing up with Greek this 6WC.
Yeah, sure, and right after that I discovered Turkish. "Discovered" is not an exaggeration - I used to only have one memory slot for both Turkish and Hungarian. If I saw a TY Hungarian at the library, I'd go home and write in my notes that there was a TY Turkish. Just like how I watched a whole episode of Bourne Identity starring Matt Damon thinking he was Leonardo di Caprio.
Oh, and Turkish is fun

Sort of..the first few times I forgot to go on twitter and then I got busy with uni courses and internships. Am making up for it now and the week after this one. Still wish I had more time or was more efficient though.

Sure thing. The end of February has been crap (I work in accouning and taxes and South Africa had it's 'weirdest' economic period in some time) But somehow I'm still 3rd as of now (JVS_ESP) and I'm just taking a break today to recover from February but I'm guuning for that second place! I don't think I'll be able to catch Carly

I will be unable to upload my minutes for a few days. Will log them afterwards. Won't be a lot.

Re: 6WC 6 Week Challenge - Feb 2018
10 more days!!
I'm pushing to finish all the pages on irregular German verbs (not nearly as many as Spanish, at least it doesn't seem like it) and make some clear progress in my Memrise courses.
Everyone else on track to meet your goals? Or at least hanging in there?

Sure thing. Great seeing you at the top haha. I am going for 3rd place it seems. Should be doable IF I manage my time correctly.Which hasn't always been possible lol. Currently 4th. Little more than a week to go. Going for 2.5ish hours a day. Which would put me at 75ish hours which is almost as good as the last 'Full time employee' time. I'd be super stoked. I'll even record a vlog in Spanish to see how far I've came.

Re: 6WC 6 Week Challenge - Feb 2018
Has there been any actual attention paid to the request that the challenge be returned to the beginner/low intermediate learner and involve actual study rather than just leaving the tv on all day and logging it as "study time"?
Otherwise, maybe we should just remove the part about "competing with other beginners" because we've totally lost that.
