Thanks for clearing that up! (although this now makes it harder to choose which team to join) :)

If that's the case, it would probably be better for me to join the Spanish team rather than team Iberia as I am not really studying Iberian Spanish. I watch TV series from Spain and read books translated into Iberian Spanish, but when I'm writing or reading, I don't use vosotros, and I try to avoid using slang/vocabulary unique to Iberian Spanish. And my Spanish friends are from South America. :)

You would be welcome on the Spanish team, if that's what you choose. :D

I am a big fan of (Spain) Spanish TV shows as well. My recent favorites are Águila Roja, Isabel, and Frágiles. Which ones do you watch? :D

Haha, hadn't noticed that. I'd kind of like to join both teams, but I'm thinking that might be a bit confusing and
hard to manage.

I am currently watching Gran Hotel. It's great. It has a very similar feel to the British Downton Abbey but with a lot
more intrigue and suspense. I don't like DA, but I love this show. I have six episodes left and then I'm going to
have to find a new show to watch. I've seen a little bit of Águila Roja and was thinking of starting that show next.

While team Spanish might have more Spanish learners right now, team Iberia is the dark side, as Serpent
has stated; you know you want to join, you know, you just know....

Águila Roja took me a few episodes to get into it, but then I was totally hooked. LOL DramaFever has the first four seasons subbed, and the fifth season was the first time I tried watching anything without English subs. European Spanish is a lot harder for me to understand, but I didn't have much trouble keeping up with it, as long as I didn't have a lot of other distractions - I normally just waited til my kids were in bed. :D

Gran Hotel looks interesting. I just watched the blurb on Viki. I will have to find it and check it out, since I need a new Spanish show to watch. :)

I think you should come to the Spanish team. Ignore all the Iberian people. LOL

Actually, if you want to get to know more Spanish learners, I think there's nothing wrong with joining both.

Japanese - currently a solid jlpt n3, aiming for a high n2, low n1.
Mandarin - never studied before, planning on starting classes as soon as my Japanese classes end in
June as they won't give a higher class of Japanese next year. Probably a high A2.
Lithuanian - never studied before, starting with the 6 week challenge and plan to keep it up weekly.
Aiming for a high A2.

I'm mainly going to focus on Japanese, while taking the others on the side as I find it hard to keep my
focus on one thing. I'll continue my dabbling in Korean but won't do any serious study for it.

I forgot to mention which teams I'd like to join, but I want to join the Japanese team as well as an
observer for
Mandarin. My activity in Lithuanian after the 6wc will be too low to bother to consider joining a team
with that
one (is there even a team it would fit in?).

I've posted in the Chinese and Japanese team topics as well.

Well, there's a Uralic/Balto-Slavonic team.
