Language: French
Challenge: half
Current level: At least a solid B2 reading, and not quite as good on the other three modalities.
Comments, links: By my count this is the 4th Super Challenge.
I jumped into the fray for the first SC about 2 hours after Cristina's original post proposing the idea. I initially intended to do the SC as part of my efforts to learn French from scratch, but ended up completing a half challenge in Dutch instead. I nevertheless also finished the film portion in French an 30/50 on the reading, while also doing a lot of German maintenance work.
By the time the second SC rolled around, I had branched out into more languages and had trouble focusing. In the end, I logged about 50 each for books and films, but no more than 16 of each for any one language! I had a good time with my languages, but obviously didn't do the real heavy lifting for any one language.
The third time around...I dunno, I think I got into an argument with someone, got annoyed, and dropped out before getting started. Life's too short to argue on the internet. I've been doing my own thing since then, learning all the languages, but I'm ready to get back into some sort of defined framework.
So this fourth time now...I've collected a lot of French books over the past 6 years, and I've only read a fraction of them. But now I *can* read them! It's time to get (re)started. It *ought* to be easy this time around, since all I have to do is read books I like and watch TV. We shall see.
