Language: Romance languages
Challenge: full, divided
Current level: French probably B1, the others A1
Comments, links: I am neglecting the Romance languages because I think they are "easy". I am able to read books and watch movies in French, Spanish and Italian, I don't think it takes that long to be able to do that in Portuguese as well. Romanian might take a bit more work, but I don't think it will be a real problem either.
I don't anticipate any problems with finding and watching/reading material in French, Spanish and Italian, the other two might be more difficult. There is a lot of literature in American Portuguese, which isn't a problem, really, as the main difference is the pronunciation... I think I'll find some Portuguese soap opera to watch, if not movies. Romanian... I think I'll find some books, but movies... I don't think so. Now, I haven't investigated that yet, but I don't expect to find much.
Expectations? I do expect becoming more comfortable with reading in these languages. Now, if I manage to get in some "actual" studying with grammar, speaking and writing, good. If not - is OK.
During the last Super Challenge, I did manage to get my French from "yeah, well, not a total idiot" to "I can comfortably read in this language and I understand most of what I read", and that's wonderful, but I think I managed to read... 5 books? I saw quite a lot of movies, though. Not 100. I mean, definitely didn't win the challenge. But I did read more books and watched more movies than I would have done without. So - it's still a victory
