For each language something else?





I think the greek team (if there is one) should have an από μηχανής Θεό, a deus ex machina.




For turkish it could be a cin (or something else?)






For Italian definitely il padrino!

I just volunteered to be the team's godfather / guardian angel / guru.

Now that you mentioned it, I can also be godmother. Since we've come to this point, I can also be the team's devil's advocate, judge, jury, and executioner.

Just not Santa Claus, nor Tooth Fairy, since finances are a bit tight.


:)))))) I'm sorry, I had only one cup of coffee this morning, which was obviously not enough. I was thinking of Cinderella for some reason...



EDIT: renaissancemedi, that deus ex machina idea is pretty witty. :) What would the Russian version be?... Палочка-выручалочка? :))

druckfehler already posted that she's in even though Korean won't be the
main focus language for her. As for me, I'm definitely in. Korean will be my main
focus language, my current level is somewhere between A2 and B1 probably. I'd also like
to be on the German team. My current level is B2-C1 and I'd like to improve it.


Good! Anyone else for Korean?

I have no idea! I would go for a lovely Roublev angel (guardian angel?), but I am afraid it is too religious to use an icon.

I'm afraid that for me, the image of палочка-выручалочка was forever marred by Natasha Koroleva's provocative song...

We can always have a Василиса Премудрая.

I love the fact that you chose this moment to display a bit of self-censorship.

It's like "you really don't want to know what's going on inside my head right now; this is just the tip of the iceberg". :D
