Thanks, Emily, it was great to have the quizzes in a language other than English today. Although I was following the theme by calling myself EstebanT today, it’s probably best to show my usual name (StevenT), though no doubt I’ll be off the weekly leaderboard again after tomorrow so it won’t matter!

It was surprising and fun to be able to hold my own with the hispanohablantes - I’ll have to remember to thank Paula, who teaches the Intermediate Spanish online group class I go to - we’ve been covering topics related to Latin America recently as listening practice, discussion topics, illustrations of the use of the subjunctive, etc, and there were 2 or 3 things on each quiz today that I wouldn’t have got or been able to have an educated guess if she hadn’t done that.

Hi Steve, thanks for coming today! Sure do feel free to send me the Spanish group details across, thanks for asking :slight_smile: languages@utalk.com Hope to see you at our next quiz tomorrow!

Halfway through the week!!!

If you came to the quiz today, you’ll have found out more about our prizes for this leaderboard… we’ve got some fun codes from Hodder (publishers of Teach Yourself etc.) up for grabs, as well as some more iTalki credits! Want to get yourself in for those prizes? Come to any of our next four quizzes and try and get that top spot :smiley:

(Is your name wrong? Are you there twice? Are you not there at all and should be? Let me know!)

As for tomorrow’s quiz, it’s another non-English one… it’s all in French! Tetsu, Emily, and Brian will be there to quiz you, so have fun! :smiley:

Hope you all had fun at the French-language quiz today! We had a little bit of movement on the event leaderboard:

(Is your name wrong? Are you there twice? Are you not there at all and should be? Let me know!)

As for tomorrow’s quiz - it’s in the later timeslot again (17:00 EDT / 22:00 BST / 06:00 (+1) JST) and we’ll be covering Sino-Tibetan languages. You’ve got just over a day to cram, if you’re so inclined! :wink:

Got a bunch more 1000-point scorers (on one question) tonight! And there’s someone new at the top of the leaderboard…

(Is your name wrong? Are you there twice? Are you not there at all and should be? Let me know!)

If you’re looking to take the #1 spot tomorrow, then you might want a sneak peek of the theme - tomorrow’s early quiz (09:00 EDT / 14:00 BST / 22:00 JST) is all about Turkic languages!

Good luck tomorrow!

Not related to the uTalk quiz but just wondering does the uTalk app have Shan, Mon and Hmong languages? I don’t think I have seen them on the app so I was just wondering… :thinking:

No, they’re not on the app, and it doesn’t look like we had them in the old CD-ROM series either. :frowning_face: Good ones to add to our big list of languages to add to the app though! :sweat_smile:

Here’s the current leaderboard standing after our penultimate quiz…

And tomorrow’s quiz should be a fun one, with all questions put together by @Tetsu, King of the Dad Joke:

Our Amazing Asian quiz (with a particular focus on Korean/Japanese) will be taking place in the late slot, so 17:00 EDT / 22:00 BST / 06:00 (+1) JST.

See you tomorrow!

Hi all! So, we’re not going to be posting the leaderboard tonight because Richard has kindly agreed to announce our top three prize winners in tomorrow’s closing ceremony! :partying_face: Make sure you go if you can, and if you can’t, then I’ll be posting the full leaderboard after it’s done so you can see if you were in the top 10 this week.

Of course, no matter where you came, I hope you still had fun and learnt some new things (even if it was just to never trust the picture).

Thank you all for an amazing conference! Hopefully we’ll see some of you at our monthly quizzes (yes, we’re gonna keep doing those :wink:) in the future.

Thanks so much to all of you, I really had a lot of fun!

Although I gave up on winning any of the quizzes after almost the first day (I think some people were revising each of the topics), even the banter in the chats was also very fun, despite me perhaps pushing the envelope at times.

Again, thank you to everyone who came to our quizzes this week - here’s the final leaderboard!

Congratulations to @Vadim, @AlexanderThe and @hoopstats for coming in first, second, and third - but also to everyone on there and everyone who took part. You’re all amazing!

As Richard said (and Tetsu mentioned before), we’ll be putting on a quiz on the last Friday of every month (maybe not December, but we’ll let you know if we move the date for that one) over the next year. If you’d like to take part in any of those, then make sure to join our mailing list at uta.lk/quiz to get reminders before the quizzes start, or keep an eye out on our social media.

I’m hoping to start dropping in on some of the practice chats, so will see some of you there, or at our quizzes, or in Mexico (fingers crossed!) next year! :blush:

Thank you uTalk and Langfest for the hard work behind all the quizzes this whole year :purple_heart: They were really fun and educational. Looking forward to the monthly quizzes next year :grinning:

Oooh and thanks to the French quiz on Day 5, I’ve started picking up French :stuck_out_tongue:
