If I'm studying both Mandarin Chinese and Portuguese, which team should I join? Thanks!

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Sinitic-Romance team yet (you could try to propose one!) but you do have a few teams that would welcome you anyway since most groups meant for people studying languages from at least two families take it as "either-or".
Team Žá (at least one from Romance or Slavonic) Team 德 (at least one from Sinitic or Germanic) Team The Romantics (at least one from Romance) Team East Asia (provisionally: Team 龍 / Луу) (at least one of Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, a Sinitic language (e.g. Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese), Thai, Tibetan or Vietnamese) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Looking at the thread, it seems a good suggestion, Jinx. Or even "Just Germanic..", to include anyone studying Dutch. I'm already happily signed up for The Romantics, but perhaps one of the German-learners might like to take the ball and run with this. - That is, start up a Germanic team...? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

to join Team Žá you gotta study/speak both one Romance and one Slavic language, sorry. there are separate teams for just Romance and just Slavic (along with Finno-Ugric)
@songlines, team Germanic/Sinitic fits just fine as in this case you're not required to study two languages, only German or Dutch will also do :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I haven't seen Georgian come up in any of the TAC 2012 proposals yet (took a while to go through the 30 pages of the thread :-)), so I figured I'd ask.
I have some pretty specific goals I'd like to accomplish with this language, even though it won't be my main focus for 2012. It'd be nice to be able to join a team to keep my motivation up. So, is Rarely Studied Languages not official? Or is there another team in which Georgian would be a fit? R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm happy to make Rarely Studied Languages official, if you would also like to be in. Even if there's no language cognates, which seems likely for us both, it would be nice to make a team for competition, support and interest's sake. Maybe I can learn something about Georgian through your posts! Still up for being part of a second team if any Celtic/Indo-Iranian combinations come up. I think I'll keep an eye on, but not join, the Germanic groups, because where I live I'm surrounded by Scandinavians. @Teango, good luck yourself! I'll read your blog happily. Thanks so much for linking me to those Irish materials earlier; I forgot to respond but that's a huge handy list.

Definitely! Count me in. I'm sure we could get a couple more people that want a language not covered by the other groups too. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Okay, I'll make the thread. You're doing just Georgian this coming year? 1 person has voted this message useful |
