Always been wanting to learn Esperanto, but haven’t had a big enough reason to motivate you yet? Well, now might be your chance! Along with the Polyglot Gathering<\/a> in Berlin, Judith Meyer<\/a> has thrown down a new challenge. For anyone who has studied Esperanto for less than five hours, learn as much Esperanto as you can for six weeks (starting May 1) and then give a 1-5 min lecture on a topic of your choice! If you’ve already studied for five hours, then let your friends know who have been thinking of dipping their feet into the language.<\/p>\n

But, given that this gathering has been sold out for about a month now, what can you do? Fortunately, there’s also an Internet division. So, register for the 6 Week Challenge via the Twitter bot<\/a> (use the hashtag #Transparent when you register to join the Transparent Language team!), learn Esperanto for six weeks reporting your daily study progress, and then post a YouTube video of yourself giving a 1-5 min lecture at the end. Here are the contest details<\/a>. If you don’t want to interact with the Twitter bot, you could also just log your progress on your blog instead.<\/p>\n

Now, for those of you who read the blog title, you might wondering what fabulous prizes you could win. You’ll get all the program costs covered as well as food and lodging for a week at an Esperanto event (travel costs not included). Possible events include:<\/p>\n
