Hello Geordie, ThePhantomGoat has a good short explanation of how it works. See here. You can do the TAC individually. If you'd like to be part of a team, Ellasevia is organizing that, and he may be able to assign you one; there are a few other latecomers who are also team-less. Just leave a post on this forum to say whether you'd like to do an individual challenge, or a team one; and for which language/s. (I'm not sure who can vote on the logs at the end of the year: any forumite, or only people who've themselves taken the TAC. ) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A couple of practical questions - and I appologize if the answers have been covered already: Would we normally use our languages in the log, or do we talk about our studies in English, so that everyone can understand?
On one hand it could be quite helpful to use our languages in the actual log, so that we can receive corrections or encouragements related to our progress, on the other hand that might be boring to those who do not read those languages, and might keep people away from reading it. Perhaps English in our personal logs, and then a team log where we all can write in our languages? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Having joined the forum just yesterday I now fear it could almost be too late to get a Hebrew TAC Team formed. But maybe this can still be achieved though.
So my language is Modern Hebrew and I'm currently on level A1. My goal for the next year will be A2/B1. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Solfrid Cristin, I think it should be just fine to do whatever you prefer for languages. Some people would like
to write in their target language to get feedback and practice, but others might prefer to stick to English only, while still others will do a mix of English and other languages. Meelämmchen, I don't think it's too late to organize a Hebrew Team. We still have a couple days yet until the finalized teams and there are some other Hebrew learners. Welcome to the forum!

I'm late to the party, but I'm a longtime lurker here and I'd love to join. My main focus will be Spanish, but
feel free to put me in any team that works. :p Also, I only have a rough idea of my level in each of these at the moment, hopefully I'll get that cleared up soon! Spanish B1 -> C1 French B1 -> B2 German extremely low A1 -> B1 Mandarin A1 -> A2 Portuguese (not sure whether I'll pick this up yet) 0 -> B1 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In the Log Section there is no "English only" rule. There have been people who wrote/write their logs in the target languages. So it's a question of personal choice in which language(s) you write your TAC log. Fasulye 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I saw on the official teams list that I've been moved to the Esperanto team. If possible I would actually prefer to be
moved back to the Japanese team seeing as I don't plan to study Esperanto actively this year, and I will be focusing on Japanese. I would of course be happy to give advice to and cheer on the members of the Esperanto team anyway! :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
