What is the 34 Hour Language Challenge?
The well known language learning site, Duolingo, claims that 34 hours on Duolingo is equal to one semester of a language course at a university. I had to test this theory! So, I came up with the idea for a 34 hour language challenge, which I will document on the blog 34hourchallenge.blogspot.com.
If you would like to do a 34 language challenge as well, here are the rules.
1. Pick a language you are not familiar with, but are interested in learning.
2. Spend at least one hour a day studying the language on Duolingo until you’ve reached 34 hours.
3. Take a placement test in the language.
4. Let me know how your challenge went. I’ll add you to the “34 Hour Challenge” honor roll.
My mom is a huge fan of Memrise. So she decided that we should take this challenge to the next level. She is going to spend 34 hours learning a language on Memrise. We are both going to take a placement test at the end of the 34 hours. So, if you want to choose Memrise over Duolingo, that works too.
For the Memrise challenge, the rules are the same as for the Duolingo challenge.
You can comment here if you want to be added to the “34 hour challenge” challenger’s list for Duolingo or Memrise. Just let me know which one! I can add your blog name, your Duolingo/Memrise username. Or both!
After you’ve completed the challenge, you can be added to the Honor Roll.
If you decide to blog about the challenge, please link me back to your blog so I can check it out as well!
On Tumblr simply reblog this post or reply with a note saying you accept the challenge. Don’t forget to let us know how it went!
