I think it's enough to just make it clear that in any multilingual group you should have an interest in the languages you don't study. (I'm pleased to say that it's not been a problem for team Slavic+Romance - interestingly, the two members that "survived" but chose not to continue on the same team had different high-priority languages: Russian for zecchino and Italian for GRagazzo) edit: I do think that when there's overlap it's better to join only one team.

Serpent and I are pretty much the same on this point where a team covering unrelated languages / language groups stands the best chance of survival when there's a sufficiently large core of people who's studying the majority of the unrelated languages or at least one language from each group and who post regularly (with no more than about a month between entries).
My experience with this year's *jaŋe / *ledús seems to bear that out since it was Kisfroccs, hribecek, mick33, a3 and I who more or less still posted regularly in the name of the team by year's end. It's no surprise that 4 out of 5 of us "survivors" continued to study at least one language from each of Balto-Slavonic and Finno-Ugric while a3 kept studying Finnish as a native speaker of Bulgarian thus maintaining the seemingly incongruent link between Finno-Ugric and Balto-Slavonic. The others' posting activity wound down for one reason or another or seemed tied directly to whether someone else in the group was studying regularly the same target language (once I scaled back Northern Saami to next to nothing in March, I noticed that Kafea's activity dwindled to nothing while appelduvide didn't post much about Northern Saami (or about any language for that matter) after joining in April. My studies in Slovak never really got off the ground while I didn't get started on Ukrainian until the summer and I'm afraid that it may have led to christianvlcek having fallen off by the second half of the year. cathrynm's having to juggle Finnish and Japanese may have made her feel a bit left out since Japanese was never part of the team's focus and the Slavonic content of other members' logs couldn't have always been that interesting in understanding something in Finnish or Japanese). Of course lack of posting activity isn't indicative of being off the team, but it's more reassuring for a team's spirit when everyone posts regularly. Ne nur also seemed to come through OK too despite not having that many log entries among them (Arekkusu being a notable exception) but then again its resilience is not surprising considering its membership who also happily did that joint experiment with Finnish. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I plan to study Russian next year. Is it too late to join the second Russian team?
