How much members is "enough"? If we combine the three we would have 7, as it stands. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, only 5 or 6. Anya is already on team PAX and it's unclear whether primosanchez would still like to be on the team. Hopefully a few more people join in the next few days. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Updates for Brun Ugle:
DarrenDaka has joined the Polish Team. I noticed that in the list of Teams (post no.2), you have called us Team 'Bisons'. Actually we are Team Żubr, and 'bisons' is just our nickname. Could you amend our title please? Dziękuję! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would like to take part in the TAC 2013, but there doesn't seem to be a team doing Asian languages like Thai,
Indonesian, Lao, Khmer or Burmese. I don't understand how TAC is supposed to work if you're not on a team, since the fun and motivation to carry on seems to come from the team. Is there the possibility to form a team grouping intermediate-advanced learners of rarer (or not so rare) languages together? Learners who are intermediate to advanced don't necessarily need specific support for their target language, but might benefit from the ideas and activities of other intermediate-advanced learners.

Hello Bakunin,
it looks like iawia is going to join the Asian team with Thai (among others) and yuhakko hinted that he will start studying Indonesian, so I'd say that you're welcome to join us as well if you like. As most people will be studying Chinese and Korean these will probably be the focus languages of most team activities, but the planned challenges can be completed in any language. Another possibility would be to try and get as many people who are studying rarer Asian languages together to form a new team, but it might be a little late for that. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks, druckfehler, for the invitation. Let's see what Brun Ugle has to say to the idea of forming a team of
intermediate-advanced lonely souls. If that doesn't work out, I might join your team. Still a few hours left to decide :) However, I think there's a tremendous cultural gap between SEA and NEA, and there are significant challenges to NEA languages related to the writing systems (with the exception of Korean) which are no issue in SEA languages, so that pairing Thai with Chinese might be as useful as paring Chinese with Uyghur. Sure, there both Asian, and there are some influences back and forth, but they're very different beasts. But I don't want to come across as defensive... so let me see whether Brun Ugle comes back before I decide. In any case I wish the (NE-)Asian Team a great TAC2013! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Update
Tastyonions: Fixed link Skuld: Added to individual TAC. If you want to be on a team, you should decide right away. Żubr: Fixed name. DarrenDaka: Added to Żubr renaissancemedi: Added to German#2 and Individual for French Bakunin: There is actually one other member of the Asian team studying Thai. We don’t happen to have a rare languages team this year and I think it might be a little late to start one. Next year we should try to create such a team right from the beginning. If you really want to start a team, the only thing I can suggest is to do like Chung does and actively recruit people, but as far as I can tell, there aren’t many people studying Thai. If you can find some people who want to start a South East Asian team or a Rare Languages team with you, then go for it. It’s no trouble for me to add a new team to the list. I know SomeGuy is interested in Vietnamese, so that could be a start. SMALL TEAMS I have just sent PM’s to the leaders of 鶴, MIR, Schnitzel, Viking, and Pax regarding taking up the members on secondary/tertiary teams that are too small to be fairly certain of survival. I’ve asked them for their approval on this matter and should they agree, to inform those people it affects. Most of those teams are currently discussing the matter. Regarding Romance#3/French/Spanish: Anya and Spanky are already on other Romance teams and can stay there. And I can probably squeeze up to 8 people onto the other two teams. Some of you were on other teams before and can go back; let me know which team and you can go back if you wish. Otherwise, it looks like I could squeeze in about 3 on Pax and 5 on Romulan, pending approval from Pax of course. I will send PM’s to the people on Romance#3/French/Spanish to ask their wishes.
