If I understand anything, I tend to assume it is in English because I can't believe that I actually know any other languages. Now I am at last starting to get used to the idea that I might know some Norwegian, but I still don't really notice the language unless something calls my attention to it.

A similar thing happened to me yesterday when I started watching a music video that popped up on my Youtube stream as a recommendation. From the name of the artist I assumed the song would be in German, but it soon became clear that I was actually listening to Platt or... no, probably Dutch. Yes, definitely Dutch, case closed. For a few moments I was very pleased with myself for having solved this mystery, until it occured to me that I was understanding far more of the lyrics than I should have been able to. No longer overflowing with false confidence, I continued listening and sure enough, there were quite a few unmistakably Scandinavian words that kept coming up: the song was in Danish! Languages are awesome. QED. Edited by sans-serif on 31 December 2012 at 12:44pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Her er svaren min: -----------------5min start Jeg villte å skrive mye, men faktisk vet jeg hva å skrive. Den er den storeste problemen min. Nå nå skrive jeg uten ei ordboka, kan jeg se hvilke ord trenger jeg å lære. Derfor er den spørren veldig nyttig(?). Jeg bare høper att dere kan forstå litt av hva jeg sier. End av tid. ----------------5 min Nå er det mye letter, når kan jeg bruker den nyttig tritrans. Nå vet jeg, att jeg svarer ikke til en spørre, men til en utfordring. (Jeg har endte å skrive for noe tid fordi internetten min har stopte). Og så tid har sluttet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Vikings, welcome to the first day of TAC 2013! Let's get the ball rolling!
@mae: I think it would be a nice idea to set up some kind of a Twitter bot to log our progress. I have no idea how to do that, though. What do you think about it? I was also thinking about setting up some little quasi-website of our team (e.g. using justpaste.it or a similar service, or maybe something wiki-like?), with our introductions, learning resources, challenges etc. - scrolling up and down the thread to find something seems quite time-consuming. Again, what are your thoughts on this? 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Useful, yes, but do we have to register at yet another site?

Sorry I’ve been AWOL in the last days, but I promise I haven’t jumped ship even before the TAC started! It’s just that we’ve been away over the holidays and even though I thought I would have had internet access where we stayed, it turned out not to be the case.
And now that I’m back online I’m playing catch up with you all by getting my TAC log going and reading other team members’ logs. Actually I’ve decided to keep my old log and just change its title. The TAC starts on page 9. Last but not least I want to wish everyone on Team VIKING a great 2013! 1 person has voted this message useful |
