Sure! I think so, how would that work exactly? Edited by YnEoS on 13 December 2014 at 3:19pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Gotta look at the past tandems to see how it works, tbh :) I know Sprachprofi and Arekkusu had one at least.

I think we don't need special teams for intermediate or advanced learners. Most of them already know each other and those who don't can get this information by looking at the list of participants and their languages and their logs. If the idea is to discuss the challenges of being at a specific level regarding a specific language, we already have the Advice Center subforum for that. If the idea is to discuss the native materials one might use at this level, that can be done in the language-specific team thread, for example. Basically I think it's a bad idea to have more than one type of criteria for creating TAC teams. The basic concept has always been creating the teams based on target languages and it has worked very well. If you introduce another dimension then it will create a lot of confusion. For example, I will be studying Korean at the intermediate level. Should I join the Korean team or the intermediate team? Or both? I don't know. Besides, we already did this experiment this year - adding a team based on whether this was someone's first foreign language or not. I don't think it was a success, I think the teams work best when they're based on a single language or language family. I also fear that intermediate and advanced teams may seem elitist (even if they are not) and that may hold back potential TAC newbies. This is just my opinion.

Puttered around a bit before finding the cleverly hidden edit button in the Wikia.
Log Last I heard, Luso was interested in doing Arabic, but also in captaining Team Rare, I wonder how that would work? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Looks fun! Would it be specifically based around the Romance, Germanic, and Slavic languages we're both studying, or just generally based around passive media consumption in languages that happen to overlap a lot of the time? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Perfectly :) @Evita, it's all up to the people in question. If you don't want to join an intermediate team, then don't. If nobody wants it then there will be none. I personally agree that a French C1 and an Italian C1 have more in common than a C1 and an A1, but I think it only makes sense per language family. Advanced Romance could be interesting, but advanced Spanish+Japanese+Russian seems like a pointless team. As for team start, I admit that I was hoping more long-term members would join, but everyone opted for language-specific teams. This team just needed more people like kujichagulia and Via Diva, imo. Both have made significant progress this year :) Edited by Serpent on 13 December 2014 at 4:15pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I don't think there are any limits/rules. Whatever works for us :) I'm interested in both aspects at least. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Alright cool. I just wasn't sure if it was more like a few individual logs grouped together because they have a lot in common, or like a weird team that has a lot less members. Anyways, let's give it a try. 1 person has voted this message useful |
