I'm in with Norwegian and will also track Spanish. I didn't do much studying since the last challenge so this is a good opportunity to get going again.
Good luck to everyone.

I've signed up with Chinese. Looking forward to track how much time I spent on learning.

Re: 6WC 6 Week Challenge - Nov 2018
I've signed up with Portuguese. I have 30 hours of Portuguese under my belt. I don't like learning Portuguese because it feels like learning Spanish all over again, with a textbook full of typos. But I have a 1965 Living Language Portuguese that seems excellent content- and format-wise and that I'll have to part with soon. You're not a real language nerd until you've tried a Living Language course, right?
Competing for my attention is Turkish. I haven't been able to study properly since August so I haven't been progressing as fast as usual, but some progress is still possible so I'll just do my best.

I'm studying for the CILS DUE B2. I'm fairly confident I could pass the reading portion today. I'm less sure about the rest of the exam. Based on that I will go ahead and sign up for Italian.

The book is a bit smaller than US letter size, stapled, 127 pages, two-columned, lessons do not start on a new page but run on, no pictures, all serif font and all in black. 40 lessons that span 74 pages, then "Summary of Portuguese grammar" with 43 sections spanning ~27 pages. See the cover here. I don't have the audio. The lessons vary in format:
Some lessons are typical grammar explanations:
while some lessons are simply lists of example words, phrases or sentences:
Many lessons have quizzes that directly follow, with answers that directly follow, and there are also about 7 review quizzes:
The "Summary of Portuguese grammar" is short and sweet. This is all you get on the Possessive:

It's a 1965 course, so old spelling. Mind it when studying.

Due to many life changes, I won't be participating this time, but I will be cheering you all on. Probably next time for me.
And, everyone, work hard so you can beat smallwhite.

I just checked my stats and noticed some of my tweets haven't been processed. They do appear on my timeline. Is anyone else having the same problem?
