Japanese - currently a solid jlpt n3, aiming for a high n2, low n1.
Mandarin - never studied before, planning on starting classes as soon as my Japanese classes end in June as they won't give a higher class of Japanese next year. Probably a high A2. Lithuanian - never studied before, starting with the 6 week challenge and plan to keep it up weekly. Aiming for a high A2. I'm mainly going to focus on Japanese, while taking the others on the side as I find it hard to keep my focus on one thing. I'll continue my dabbling in Korean but won't do any serious study for it.

On second thought, I'm going to join the Spanish Team instead of Team Iberia since Spanish is the only Iberian language that really interests me currently (plus the team leader for the Spanish team is also on the other team (Korean) that I've already joined). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Is it the intention of the Iberian team to be exclusive to Iberian Spanish? If that's the case, it would probably be better for me to join the Spanish team rather than team Iberia as I am not really studying Iberian Spanish. I watch TV series from Spain and read books translated into Iberian Spanish, but when I'm writing or reading, I don't use vosotros, and I try to avoid using slang/vocabulary unique to Iberian Spanish. And my Spanish friends are from South America. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Perhaps "Iberia" isn't really a good reflection of the team, it includes also Brazilian Portuguese and Papiamento; different variations of Spanish surely ae welcome as well. Perhaps it's best to say that team Iberia is for those languages that have a clear link and/or originate from the peninsula. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"Team Iberia" is a provisional name. The team encompasses all varieties of Spanish, Portuguese, and closely related languages. I've volunteered to be its leader, and I'm primarily interested in Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for clearing that up! (although this now makes it harder to choose which team to join) :)

No, it's not limited to the Iberian varieties! I don't know if other people have specific preferences, but that's certainly not the intention. Our team is a bit small to begin with, and if we excluded South American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese it would die :D
