Danke, Josquin and Sunja for the clarifications!
Songlines, looking at the German team for 2012 worried me. It looks like there aren't many who were still active at the end of the year. I hope our experience is different. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I hope so as well. I'm just picking up the pace with German!

It gets hard to post after half a year -- I should know -- I fell out during the summer of the last TAC :( But I'm sailing at a good clip right now with my languages and I hope I can keep the momentum going. To extend the metaphor, as long as I've got wind in my sails, this could be the year that I make it -- yea! (eek, it's only January..)
As it stands right now we've got two members that don't have logs. Tecktight even deleted her old log, so I can't tell if she's planning to come back or not. Ignis Fatuus has only made two posts in the entire forum. How's that possible? I'm always posting! ;) I wonder if he'll make a third post? And I've been eagerly awaiting Nils' response to all those great comments in his log! TheGreaterFool, where are you hiding? ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'd like to assuage (nice word) some or your worries. I participated in last year's TAC. I don't think I was a very good member (I was not very regular at times), but I made it to the end. Now for the useful part: I joined as the member of just one group, although I was studying three different languages. I elected the Romantics (due to Italian), although I was also focused on German and Arabic. I don't know whether there were people in more than one team, but I doubt it (maybe there were some exceptions). My point is: in 2012, I studied German throughout the year. I was also a TAC player. But, due to having joined a different team, it did not show. I think this year will be different: players are connected to teams that represent all target languages (I joined three teams). So, everyone studying German and joining TAC is represented in this team. Which makes it (and all others) stronger.

I myself have been guilty of the "early enthusiasm followed by mid-year dropping out" phenomenon. And if procrastination were an Olympic event, I could easily "procrastinate for Canada"... Speaking from experience, if you do have a little (or not-so-little) lapse, just try to resume without: - Feeling embarrassed. You won't be alone in having been temporarily derailed. The important thing is getting back on track. - Waiting till you can do a super-duper return-to-the-forum-post with all kinds of excellent achievements to report. The perfect is indeed "the enemy of the good" in situations like this. (Some of you may recognize this impulse from other spheres of your lives, e.g. putting off chores like writing long-overdue letters, because you feel you have to do an extra-special job to compensate for your tardiness.) I've already mentioned this thread in a number of places, but for anyone who hasn't yet read it, and is worried about maintaining the discipline to reach your goals, I recommend this entire thread : 30 days , which EMK started.

Hello everyone! I know it's late, and it says in the sign-up thread that this group is
closed, but I thought I'd ask anyway if it's okay for me to register. I'm studying German full-time at university, so I will definitely keep up with my German studies. I'll also try my best to keep posting, last year I didn't post regularly but at least I kept going through the whole year. The problem is that I lost motivation as I didn't hear much from my team mates. I was hoping to find a bigger team this year to join. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I haven't got any previous TAC experience, so I can't tell if this one will be successful. However, I started to study a language by my own (English) almost 13 months ago. I've missed some days and even a few entire weeks. By the time being I continue studying English everyday and most times I don't see it as an imposed must. Because of this, I know how difficult is both beginning to study and persevering. I think songlines is right. Don't matter if we slack for some time as long as we return. I don't see the point in coming back with lots of progress, since it could discourage us after we had been goofing off for a time.
@WingSuet: as far as I know, inscriptions are allowed until January 31th, so if nobody claims... 1 person has voted this message useful |
