I really should dabble like you do. That way I could try out a new language for a month or two before deciding if I want to do it.

I found a Russian book and taught myself the alphabet about an hour ago, but I don't know. I promised
myself I would wait. Maybe I'll just pop by and watch like I have to some extent this year.


You do realise that we have just one spot left, and you are in the position to get it :-)



Yes, but I don't know if I can manage Russian. I was going to add an easy language (Spanish) this year.
Russian and Japanese together? Of course, Woodsei does it. And I am the TAC-Dictator, so I could reserve
myself a spot for a few days until I decide for sure. I hate making decisions!!!


If you before the end of the month decide you don't need/ want it anyway, you get to make someone else
happy, by bowing out gracefully :-)

OK. I'll sneak myself in and just practice a little these next few weeks to see if I like it. If not, I can give my place to someone else.

At least the alphabet was easy :-) It's almost like Greek, and I majored in physics, so we use a lot of Greek letters. Also, when compared to Japanese almost any writing system is easy, except Chinese.

I just saw that the Japanese team are planning to have useful links in their thread, which sounds neat. Now
although I am pretty good at motivating and encouraging, I am really bad at technical stuff, so I wondered if
there is a volunteer? The ideal person would be Tarvos, who could edit his first post and put them there, but if
he is not up for it, anyone else would be good.

I can just edit my post, sure. But I use very little internet materials. But if people
send me a collection of Useful Things I will make sure to collect them. They should
pretty much draw my attention to it though, since I too am no Internet Hero.

Men varför tycker du att jag begriper mig på sådana tekniska grejer? Jag har aldrig
studerat det...

Well, that's an area where my other teams were ahead of us ;)

If you want, I can compile a link collection and post it here, or pass it along to Cristina or Tarvos so it can stay on the first page. It feels a bit strange to have 6 pages on the thread even before we start, but...

Sending it to Tarvos would be great. And getting success entails benchmarking and using any good idea that
floats around :-)

Hi, everyone!

I’m really happy to have been accepted into this very active and enthusiastic team!

Thanks especially to Cristina who’s always so kind and makes everyone, newcomers in particular, feel at home!

I’ve been on the forum for some years now, but I’m a newbie as far as TAC goes, because 2013 will be first year I take part in one. I’m not yet sure what I got myself into by enrolling, so feel free to tell me the do’s and dont’s of TAC’s etiquette if I’m not doing it right.
