Super Challenge registration thread (18/19)

[jeffers]

Language: French
Challenge: Full
Current level: B1 (if I'm optimistic)
Comments, links: I have always finished the 100 film portion, never finished the reading portion. That's mainly because I listen to a lot of audiobooks and podcasts while walking or commuting. This time I really will finish the book portion!

Language: Hindi
Challenge: Half
Current level: A2? B1? It's hard to judge.
Comments, links: I don't expect to finish the book portion, although one thing I'd like to do in the next 20 months is finish some of my Tintin comics in Hindi (I have the full set except Alph Art, and the Land of the Soviets one). I'm doing this to prevent myself from going backwards in Hindi, but my priority remains French.

Language: Cebuano
Challenge: full
Current level: A2
Comments, links: Family connections. Video material will be hard to find. Written material either bible or newspaper. Hard to judge my level. I can join in chats happily with interjections but only now getting towards grammatical sentences.

Edit:-
I have found a source for reading colloquial Cebuano - Agony aunt / advice columns in online newspapers. Each 4-500 words long, loaded into readlang (filipino/tagalog with custom dictionary of Binisaya.com). Similar subject matter, few different authors.

I have asked my tutor for video suggestions, video will be the hardest aspect. Suggestions from others very welcome!

Language: Italian
Challenge: Double
Current level: A2-B1 ish
Comments, links: Italian has slipped a lot and so this time I'm planing on focusing on the reading portion. I plan to read 100 books, which is 100 actual books. I'll still be scoring on the Bot, but like Jeffers I do tend to always complete the Film portion, but not the reading. So this time my plan is to blow the reading part to smithereens.

Comments: I've been super irregular with my languages recently and this is the perfect excuse to get myself organized and motivated!!! I've never participated in a challenge before so I'm super excited to start this! (Will probably start a new thread for the Super Challenge since my original language log was pretty sparse to begin with anyways)

Comments, links: I'm so excited. I've been postponing native material for a while now and this challenge it's like a call for me to get around to my pile of books that I've been lusting to read. My log btw

Language: French
Challenge: Full
Current level: B1.5 Receptive
Comments, links: The audio/visual portion is easy. Just keep watching ER. I’m 74 episodes in, there are 257 episodes to go... At 45 minutes each, I’m set. Reading will be more of a challenge. I’ve got a box of books I’ve scavenged from Goodwill, but not all of it is super compelling. The library has some good choices, but I don’t always like the time pressure to finish a library book. Of course, with the super challenge, maybe some time pressure will be a good thing!
