On the http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/ forum, someone had the great idea to pose a one week wanderlust voucher to everyone on the forum.
I decided to try Latin for a week. I used Peter Jones's "Learn Latin" and started May 7th. Unfortunately, I still have to do one day, so it's been longer than what I anticipated and I've decided I like Latin enough and I'll finish the course. I'm on chapter 11 of 20.
I'm also doing the Super challenge for Spanish, which is reading 100 books and watching 100 movies by January 1, 2014 (+6 hours EST, or 6 p.m. my time December 31, 2013).
I've gotten off to a slow start, and just finished watching "Titanic" with Spanish subtitles last night, so that counts as 2 movies. The rules state every movie of 3 hours or longer counts as 2 movies, any book longer than 500 pages counts as 2 books, children's books count for 1/5 a book, bilingual books count as being fully in the target language and the minimum length for a book is 100 pages.
