Good idea for competition/motivation. I traveled to Germany quite a bit for about 5 years or so and worked with German colleuges. I could understand what people were saying half the time, especially if I knew the context, which was most of the time, technical. Could also order drinks/food, etc, but not much more than that. If you don't use it, you lose it...fast. That's a drawback from living in a country like the USA. You never have to speak any other language.

Yes, I'm loving the competition. Watch out for @MarigabyFrias she can do more in a day than most people can ever do.
It's one of the reasons that I like living abroad, I have to use foreign languages on a daily basis.

@RojoLoco you are moving really quickly!

I'm doing both German and Spanish concurrently. Hopefully that doesn't hurt my ability to retain. I figure that they are totally different, so it's not like I'll get confused between the 2.

Or maybe I would get confused and order a drink at a bar in 3 languages like: Hello, Ich mochte una Cerveza.
