What about a Japanese team? There are several people interested in Japanese (myself included).

.... Polish and Czech seem okay too. QUOTE]

POLISH TAC
Some of us, including myself, are giving TAC a miss. So there remains only a couple of current Polish team members who would be interested in continuing into 2014. Without more members the bisons (Team Żubr) will probably go into extinction.
So...
If anyone wants to join the Polish TAC for 2014 - please express your interest here or on the Team Żubr 2013 home thread, and hopefully it can continue. A new leader will also be required as I will be vacating that role soon.


In summary;
1. We have 2 members who are willing to continue with a Polish Team.
2. I'd suggest that we will need at least 4 new and active members to make this a reality.
3. The team would need a new leader.
4. The team could retain the same name (Team Żubr) or reform under another name.
5. Ukrainian looks like it has enough members to form a separate team. Russian is already up and running. So if Team Żubr dissolves, learners of Polish could join with learners of Czech (and/or maybe Slovak) to create a West Slavic Team. Just a suggestion!

@Via Diva @Zireael @mrwarper
Great! I’m so happy I’m not the only one hoping for an advanced English team.

@Via Diva
The C1 level was not meant to exclude anybody, just to clarify that the team might be a place for people who wouldn’t normally keep actively working on their English because they are already more or less proficient. Moreover, nobody here will question other people’s self-assessments and as we all know self-assessment is not a fail-safe system. As far as I’m concerned, you’re very welcome to join us if a team gets started!

perhaps a combined Polish-Ukrainian team is possible? Razem tworzymy przyszłość? :D

i have to admit i'd be a lot more excited to join that than a separate team for either language...
(also have you contacted Amerykanka? she's had a great TAC and I hope she can continue :)

as for Ukrainian, the number of votes seems suspicious. hopefully some of the silent voters will say who they are...

oh and yeah, combining with Czech looks sensible of course. although for general slavic there's always jää/lód.

At the risk of stepping on some Ukrainian toes, this mention of votes makes me think of the political problems in Ukraine since 2004. :-P

It seems that the only way to find out is to open registration for provisional teams for each language or pair.

No big loss for me if they don't get off the ground since I expect to study Polish and Ukrainian at varying degrees in 2014 regardless.

I'd like to continue studying multiple languages, with a special focus on Russian and Irish. Please sign me up for Team Celts and Team Russian in 2014.

I've enjoyed being in the Japanese team for 2013 and I've found it to be quite
motivating. I'd certainly like to be part of a Japanese team again for 2014.
