Yes it would be awesome! I'd love to know more about Caribbean Spanish:)
@Brun Ugle, I'll be keeping my current log and renaming it. I think a new one should be started for the team though.

Uh... so when does TAC 2013 start? January 1st?
By the way, count me in. I'm still not sure how committed I can be to TAC 2013, especially during those busy high school teaching periods throughout the year. But what is that proverb? "A journey of a thousand miles begins with (the courage to put your foot out and take) a single step."
My teams: Japanese (Team う), and Romance (language: Portuguese)
EDIT: Oops... forgot the link to my log. I'll be keeping the one I have already, and will just "fold" TAC 2013 into it.

That would be absolutely awesome if you could help with Spanish! Spanish is probably going to be my
most-
studied language in 2013. |

Great! I want to make sure you stay on our team :)

@JohannaNYC, I'm definitely on the team now, so no worries!
@Slavic/Romance team in general, isn't it about time we made a team log? Almost all the other teams have
made theirs, and we don't want them to have a head start on us! :)

I'd like to join too.
I plan on keeping my three target languages: German, Italian and Arabic.
Now, about the group(s): should I join just one group? Can I join the three relevant ones (namely: Germanic / Romance / Middle East)? Please advise.
I have my log from TAC 2012, which would be nice to keep in 2013. I don't know how to change its name, though. Can I do it? Do I need a new log?
On a more personal note, I see that my 2012 involvement could have been (much) better, but I hadn't yet realized how this worked. I hope 2013 will be better.
Thanks in advance.

Woodsei:
I put you down as godmother on the Mid. East team.
Gragazzo:
I put you on the Romance team.
I’m staring up a new Russian team because the old one is full. You are the first member of the new team, but I’m sure there will come many others.
Dagane:
I’ve removed you from the Romance team.
Mooby and other Polish enthusiasts:
I’ve created a Polish team. So far, I have Mooby, Amerykanka and Chung listed.
Amerykanka:
I took you off the Romance team. I kept you on the Slavic/Romance team and added you to the Polish team.
JohannaNYC:
I put you down as godmother on the Slavic/Romance team for Latin American Spanish.
kuchichagulia:
I’ve put you in for Japanese.
Luso:
You can be on more than one team. Just remember that the Romance and Germanic teams are rather large and it will be a lot of work to keep up on all their logs, at least until half of them disappear after a few months. I put you down on the Mid.East, Romance, and Germanic teams. If you change your mind or think that it is too much, just say so.
I have updated post #2 with these changes. There were a lot of new posts this morning, so if I missed someone, let me know.

As I'll hopefully be studying Hungarian next year, I'll also join,
Finno-Ugric and Balto-Slavonic – “ Team *jäŋe /*ledús
It seems to have cross-over membership with the Slavic-Romance team.

I'm still quite new on this forum, but I think I'm just gonna jump in and join the TAC 2013 as so many other members have done already.
My primary language is Spanish but I've a bunch of other languages that I would like to start on this year: French, German, Lithuanian, Mandarin and Swedish. Quite a diverse selection, so I think I'm going to do the TAC on my own this year.
I created a learning log for Spanish a couple of weeks ago which was going to follow my Spanish studies for the last weeks of 2012 but school and work have taken up most of my time, so my studies haven't been very succesful. I'm planning on starting a new log in time for the TAC.
