So as I noted in the general organizational thread earlier today, I will be joining this team with Kannada.
Good luck to all. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry Luso! I should have read more carefully.
My log is here: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=39738 And as for my level: native speaker and fluent, but illiterate and without any grasp of the higher registers of the languages. I have no idea how to express this on the usual CEFR scale. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow, three people learning Hebrew for TAC this time. It comes as a surprise and makes me want to dig up stuff from my collection of Hebrew resources. Here's some reading practice for you three:

KICKOFF POST
I was going to wait a couple more days, but I see a lot going on in some threads already, and I don't want to prevent you from starting team activities. My first words for those about to start TAC for the first time all boil down to: don't stress. Really. We are proposing to study some of the most difficult languages available. But for a couple of exceptions, not too long ago this would have been possible only to scholars or people living in location. Even nowadays, resources are available, but the difficulty remains. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I know there's a couple of people in this team capable of amazing progress within a short period of time. If you, like me, are not one of those, again: don't stress. Instead, learn from them, as they will from you. These structures were set to provide mutual support and encouragement. To the ones among us already with some experience learning languages, TAC or otherwise, I'd like to invite you to share your knowledge. I know you'd do it anyway, but this is a special team. A great deal of diversity in HTLAL can be achieved by motivating people to learn some of these languages. Team structure Up until this moment, we have 17 members, learning 16 languages. Since some of us are learning more than one language in the team, there are 25 instances of languages being learned. There's a lot of language families, scripts, and countries represented. Many hundreds of millions of speakers, too. Challenges One way to keep us going is to participate in challenges. They consist in small tasks designed so that the maximum number of team members can participate. I'd like you to start the debate to choose an activity for January. You may want to look at this post from team member Magdalene for inspiration. The only thing I ask you at this stage is to try to choose subjects that anyone can do. There's a lot of A0's to motivate out there. I'd like also to point out that challenges are completely optional: if you want to do all or most, that's great. If not, there's no problem. The important is for your studies to progress. A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE Admissions to the team are open! In March 2014, I invited one person to join, and she ended up being an asset to the team. If you happen to come across this thread later in the year, send me a PM. If you have any doubts about the way you're going to be received, you can dispel them here. 10 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hello Team Rare. Just got back from my holidays so prepared to start TAC Indonesian for
earnest and I look forward to dropping by your logs and learning all these incredible languages vicariously through you! It's going to be hard to keep my wanderlust in check surrounded by all these lovely languages. 1 person has voted this message useful |
