Don't know if there will be a Scandinavian team but I would love to be a part of it
again. I won't be VERY active with posting but i'll update my log every now & then. My goal is to push my Swedish to fluency in 2014. I can also help the new Swedish students with new sources etc. ^^ 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm certainly not offended, but I'm not sure if I would fit in with the ethos of learning your first language to fluency. Japanese is my most advanced language, but at the moment I simply don't want to put in the effort it would take to get to an advanced (ie. professional) level. I can already do everything I want to do in the language, I just can't upgrade it to "speaks" on here because I'm still terrified of business Japanese! I've reached a point where I simply can't go on without getting to an intermediate level in German, which is why it is my priority language for 2014. But I don't want to rule out the option of working on my French - it would be a waste not to, now I've learned to love it again. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hello, Serpent! Thank you for thinking of me! I am reading this, and I'm thankful for the welcome. :) I'm definitely going to join TAC 2014, but as for Team ONE... I think it is a great idea, but according to the original criteria I don't think I would be a good candidate for it. Unless I find a way to maintain my A1/A2-ish Portuguese, I don't think I can focus only on Japanese (as much as I would love to!). That said, I would be interested in joining a Japanese team and a Portuguese team. Here are my 2014 goals: Japanese LEVEL: Somewhere in B1 (maybe high-B1? Not so sure) GOAL: To make it to B2 Portuguese LEVEL: A1 or A2 (A1.5?) GOAL: If not A2 yet, then get to A2. Otherwise, get close to B1. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, I'm also going to do something with Swedish, plus my English would be a constant point for improvement, so if you have vague plans about another language - I don't think it will be really meaningful.
I really want to make some kind of a circle in Team ONE, based on exchange of learning experience. So you know what to do next :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I will be doing TAC 2014, if only because I need to redeem myself after my very poor showing this year.
The main focus languages: Afrikaans, Spanish - Maybe I used to be at somewhere around A2/B1 level in reading, writing and speaking these languages but that was a couple of years ago, and I'm sure some rust has set in. Swedish, Italian - On a good day I might be at A2 in these languages but I doubt it more likely I am a low A1. Besides that, A2 is way too low. Finnish - I am confident of my ability to annoy telemarketers by saying, "Hei, anteeksi mutta en ymmärrä. Puhutko suomea?" (translated to English "Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand. Do you speak Finnish?")I've supposedly been learning this language since 2009 and my current level is embarrassingly poor. Hungarian - Just started this one but I can already annoy telemarketers by saying random words. Official dabbling languages: Polish, Hindi,Thai I will seriously learn these languages too although they are lower priorities right now, but I actually have this category because I really need to control my language wanderlust. EDIT: I corrected a mistake in Finnish which proves how badly I write that language. Oh, and I forgot to mention anything about teams. This year I have been a part of Team Viking (Scandinavian languages), Team Nebun (Romance/Slavic languages) and Team *jäŋe/*ledús (Uralic and Balto-Slavonic languages) and I definitely would like to be a member of Team *jäŋe/*ledús, and any other teams with people who share at least one language with me, for 2014 Edited by mick33 on 05 December 2013 at 8:04am 1 person has voted this message useful |
