Herrn Josquin:

Team Rare 2015:
TAC 2015 - Rare Languages Team Thread

My log, renamed for 2015:
Luso's Silk Thread

I might add that I'll keep my log from previous years, renamed to reflect the languages I'll be studying in 2015. The first post in the log directs visitors to the appropriate sections.

I'm logging as an Individual for the time being, might join a group if I stick to this logging thing.

My TAC 2015 language will be Modern Hebrew. I'll also be studying French, German, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish, though I can't commit to more than one team. I'd love to join Team Rare if they'd have me.

Here's my log.

I believe "they" will. "They" are quite accommodating.

It will be nice to have a Hebrew learner once again. Join us. Just remember to follow the rules. It won't take much of your time, I promise.

Can we make this more or less a requirement*?

*and grant Chung an exception :)

Quote:

To keep things simple, there are just two main rules:
1. To have a language learning log and update it regularly
2. To follow your teammates' logs and give support

...

I ask each one of you to make a post in this thread, indicating the languages you'll be participating with (present and target level also, or your best estimation) and a link to your log. I will add the member name, language(s) and log link to the roster.

...

As a consequence, we'll keep the rules we had for 2014. This means that:
- anyone joining the group and not indicating a log link will not be added to the roster
- anyone not updating the log for more than 60 days will be eliminated from the roster
- anyone not visiting the forum at all for more than 45 days will be eliminated from the roster

If this seems drastic, I'd like to remember all of you that TAC stands for Total Annihilation Challenge, and not for "I'll dabble in languages for two months then try something else and will come back in January 2016 to see if I've won the blue ribbon challenge".

Would you allow others to use your text with minor edits?

I'm personally willing to give some more benefit of doubt and add a question mark instead of removing the name... or even a yellow card picture, heh. But I think it should be required to indicate those that are really in.

As for the Romance team name, are there objections to Team Caesar? (like with Asgard, you can write it the way your L2 does, btw - Cesare, César etc)

Or any other suggestions apart from tu? This word is just present in way too many languages, and to me "tu" meaning you is basically a general IE thing.
