Well, in general a lack of immediate interest is a bad sign. It means that most potential members are too casual.
Why don't you want to be on the East Asian team though? I think it says a lot that there was an amazing one in 2013, then it was decided to split the languages, but now there seems to be universal agreement in favour of it again. A tandem would be a common log with one other person where you encourage or challenge each other, maybe set common goals etc. Feel free to ask other members whether they are interested. Kujichagulia could even be a good fit? As for the advanced group, see the bottom of the signup page. It's a team/study group for people aiming for an "advanced" level in various languages. This is a new concept of this TAC. this was the first tandem btw. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm with Serpent in this. At the moment, we have 14 sign-ups for the East Asian team and one sign-up for a potential Japanese team. Looks pretty bad for single language teams if you ask me...
Would you like to join the East Asian team or rather go for an individual TAC, Takato? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I can watch a Japanese or Chinese movie (with subtitles) fine, but when it comes to a Korean one... There's something I don't like about Korean. Idk... It's probably just me.
A tandem seems interesting however. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You don't have to study Korean or Chinese to become a member of the East Asian team. The team is for students of Japanese, Korean, or Chinese. If you study more than one of those languages, that's fine, but it's not a prerequirement. I'm only studying Japanese and I'm a member of the team as well.
Of course, if an individual TAC or a tandem is what you want, just go for it! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Exactly. Another advantage is that the starting group will be larger. I've been through TAC twice now and what always happens is an initial rush of excitement and energy but by mid February the number of people regularly updating logs has dropped off significantly. A larger starting group presumably means more people keeping logs updated throughout the year. Even though over 60% of them (I guess) will be studying languages I have no knowledge about, the sorts of things they do and how they do them may well be applicable to my own studying. On top of that I find it quite motivational to see that other people are still studying, so that keeps me going too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I was originally trying to keep the number of teams I singed up for at a reasonable level but since I'm pretty much going to be following most of the members anyway I decided it wouldn't hurt too much to sign up for *jäŋe/*ledús again with Hungarian and Czech.
Also, I'll be re-using my log from this year, though I'll probably edit the name once 2015 comes along. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I've just signed up for the German team. Is there an name yet?
I couldn't see where to put a link to my log on the wiki. Is it OK just to list it here? http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=36720 I am mostly interested in joining the TAC to allow me to more closely follow other people's logs. Last year the German team has an extra task each month that I systematically failed to do, but I'll try to do better this year, though I can't promise I'll manage this. It's great to see a few more senior German speakers wanting a team. 1 person has voted this message useful |
