LingQ Grudge match kicks off!

I have challenged my eldest two children to a contest: to see who can get the highest LingQ activity score by the end of the summer holidays (September 6th or thereabouts). Emma is learning French, James is learning French, German or whatever his Voices are currently telling him to learn.

To make it interesting I am offering ten whole new British pounds to the winner, plus the satisfaction of knowing they have royally kicked the other one's butt.

I am starting the betting at even odds: James is older and a computer whizz, he has been learning French at Big School and has been to France on a school trip. On the other hand, he gets bored very easily and thinks that LingQ doesn't look hard enough to be a real challenge. Emma has poor computer skills, spells badly but has the kind of determination that moves mountains. She has to endure a lot of James being smug about his achievements and would dearly love to beat him in a fair fight.

Their LingQ user names are flowersuccess and whoaholic. Any support from other LingQers would be much welcomed.
