For the duration of the challenge, I think it&#8217;s reasonable for part-time students to spend half an hour, three times per week, which will mean 4-5 hours over the entire challenge. Full-time students can aim for at least twice that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13274 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges-1024x187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges-1024x187.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges-768x140.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges-1536x280.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/banner_hacking-chinese-challenges.png 1967w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Preliminary challenge schedule for 2026<\/h3>\n<p>Here is a preliminary list of challenges for 2025, but I\u2019m always open to ideas. Based on user participation, surveys, as well as my own opinion, reading and listening challenges, are particularly helpful for a large number of people, followed by those focusing on vocabulary. These will recur more often throughout the year, with other, more specific challenges in between.<\/p>\n<p>Challenges last for roughly three weeks. They always start on the 10th of each month and last until the end of that month. Three weeks is enough to get a significant amount of studying, but not so long that people lose focus. This also leaves ten days of breathing space between challenges.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>January: <\/strong>Writing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Feb<\/strong><strong>ruary:<\/strong> Listening<\/li>\n<li><strong>March: <\/strong>Speaking<\/li>\n<li><strong>April: <\/strong>Reading<\/li>\n<li><strong>May:<\/strong> Vocabulary<\/li>\n<li><strong>June:<\/strong> Listening<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>July: <\/strong>Writing<\/li>\n<li><strong>August: <\/strong>Reading<\/li>\n<li><strong>September: <\/strong>Speaking<\/li>\n<li><strong>October:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Listening<\/li>\n<li><strong>November: <\/strong>Vocabulary<\/li>\n<li><strong>December:<\/strong> Reading<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for a Chinese writing challenge!
