Re: Anyone doing the Language Jam?
It looks like registration will start on September 19th. I'm curious for anyone who did the challenge, did you list every language you'd ever dabbled in, or just the ones where'd you'd actually spent some real time? I'm already disqualified from a ton of languages already...

Spanish
Latin
German

Re: Anyone doing the Language Jam?
I listed every language I ever dabbled in, because the point is to work on a language that you have absolutely zero ability in
I feel a little better now so, assuming that's still the case by September 19th, I might give it another try (but no more non-roman scripts for me).

Re: Anyone doing the Language Jam?
I signed up. The list of languages seemed pretty short though. I think many people from this forum would run out of languages pretty quick once they’d crossed off all the languages they’d ever studied.

I signed up too. FYI, the STRG button they mention in the registration form is German for CTRL.

You're not a C1 (or B1 or whatever) if you haven't tested.

I signed up yesterday.
This is such a YKYALLN complaint!

Re: Anyone doing the Language Jam?
We can find out our languages starting tomorrow! Yay! I’m really hoping for Farsi or for a slavic language... and I really don’t want a southeast Asian language. No Thai No Thai No Thai ::rubs hands together in prayer::
I would laugh so hard though if I got a a scandinavian germanic language, is there a language family I’m less interested in, probably no lol. Probably because I am such a grump about how trendy they are, my apologies to the Swedish etc lovers out there haha. I will probably use the option to roll for a second language if I get swedish, norwegian, or dutch. I love Kierkegaard so if I got Danish I wouldn’t be able to say no to that despite my relative lack of interest in the language itself.
Laughing at everyone’s comments about the short list, I had to exempt myself from 10 languages ahaha.
