I completed the 2014 italki New Years Language Challenge!

I completed the 2014 italki New Years Language Challenge! We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the 2014 italki New Years Language Challenge.  Our Marketing and Customer Experience Manager, Lexie   finished the challenge and posted her Challenge Video Review.    We asked other winners of the Language Challenge to share their final Challenge experiences by video as well and received a lot.  Here are the top 5 videos that we received! LindsayDoesLanguages  from the United Kingdom 20 Lessons in 6 weeks Learning German  COMPLETED! The was by far one of the most creative and entertaining videos we received as Lindsay (who is also an avid language learning enthusiast and blogger) really conquers learning German in just 6 short weeks! LindsayDoesLanguages BEFORE the Language Challenge Video Lindsay actually posted a Public Video Pledge  when she began the Challenge. LindsayDoesLanguages AFTER the Language Challenge Video Lindsay also blogs about her experiences with the Language Challenge on her own blog.  Read it here.  We just wanted to share this little exerpt from her: I definitely feel more confident speaking German and other than the odd case issue or separable verb stumbling me, I think I’m alright.  Although I still make mistakes (most of which I noticed post-production and kicked myself for!) it’s still a level I’m proud of and a nice solid base to begin to move on to my next personal language challenge…a little bit of Dutch! John  from the United States 20 Lessons in 6 weeks Learning Portuguese COMPLETED! John is learning Portuguese because he is going to the World Cup in Brazil!  He pretty much started with ZERO Portuguese ability.  You be the judge of whether he improved or not.  His improvement is absolutely amazing and inspiring!   Johns BEFORE the Language Challenge Video John also posted a  Public Video Pledge  before he began the Challenge. Johns AFTER the Language Challenge Video John pretty much speaks entirely in Portuguese for nearly 5 minutes straight.  The difference is like night and day.  He also throws in some Japanese at the end of the video as well! Tom  from San Francisco 20 Lessons in 6 weeks Learning Norwegian, French  and Chinese  COMPLETED! Tom is a polyglot and just kicks ass learning languages.  In the Language Challenge he took on 3 different languages! Toms BEFORE the Language Challenge Video Tom was another one of our Challengers who posted a  Public Video Pledge  before the start of the Challenge. Toms AFTER the Language Challenge Video In the end, Toms Norwegian really improved considerably.  Just for yourself!  We were impressed that he was also able to squeeze French and Mandarin as well! Lilian  from China 20 Lessons in 6 weeks Learning English  COMPLETED! Lilian started the Language Challenge one week late but she was determined and was still able to complete the Challenge in under 5 weeks! Lilians BEFORE the Language Challenge Heres Lilians Public Video Pledge  video that she posted at the start of the Challenge (actually one week into the Challenge as she joined a little late) Lilians AFTER the Language Challenge Video Erica    from China 20 Lessons in 6 weeks Learning English  COMPLETED! Erica shares her experiences with the Challenge.  She didnt have a before video but her video about her experiences with the Challenge are great especially since she speaks entirely in English for the entire video! We hope that the experiences of our Language Challenge winners will inspire and motivate you to learn a language now.  They did it so can you!
