Welcome to the thread of the Romance Languages TAC Team 2012!
When you speak, study or are just interested in Romance languages you're most welcome to participate in this thread. You can sign up here as well. Being a member of a TAC team requires (as far as I understood) an individual (regularly updated) language log, reading the logs of your teammates and supporting each other (be it by giving advices or just a friendly word when needed).
Our team members and their language(s) so far (06.09.2012) are:
garyb: French, Italian and perhaps Spanish
mcsice: Spanish and perhaps French or Italian
anamsc: Catalan, French and Spanish
Lianne: French, Esperanto and maybe Toki Pona (review)
PacoBell: Spanish
Ligador: Spanish
pesahson: French
Hendrek: Italian
songlines: French, Mandarin and perhaps Italian
kanewai: French, Spanish, Arabic, Catalan and Italian
microsnout: French
PinkCordelia: French, Italian, Spanish
kyknos: Spanish and German
Kerrie: Spanish, French, Italian, Croatian and Turkish
blackdahlia: French
tw561: Spanish and Italian
Mepisevaerg: Spanish, German,Mandarin and French
Luso: Italian, German and Arabic
Quabazaa: French, Arabic, Maori and Scottish Gaelic
dearwanderlust: Spanish and French
Gatsby42: Spanish
camdo2: Spanish
cihlomorka: French, Italian, Persian
sctroyenne: French, Spanish, Irish
Mani: French, Luxembourgish, Kurdish, Armenian, Welsh, Portuguese
Any suggestions for a team name? (Edit: As most of our members voted for "The Romantics" as name I changed the log name, too.)
Edit: Typo - what else?

Hey future team members! I can't wait to start this TAC! When we get our logs set up, maybe we could post links here so that we can all follow them.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to being on a team with all of you guys next year! I haven't thought of any team names yet, but if I do, I'll post them here.

Ooh I like The Romantics! I'll build on that and suggest "The Hopeless Romantics".

Nice ones, PacoBell. Though I had to look up number two to get the joke - German title is "Auf der Jagd nach dem grĂ¼nen Diamanten" (In(?) the hunt for the green diamond). Funny enough this film was on tv last sunday and I've watched a bit of it...

Hm... I'm okay with that as long as we don't adopt a heart as team symbol which I think is far too often used these days.
Call me prejudiced, but I favour "The Romance Legion", probably because I live close to Trier and I tend to confuse the words Romance and Roman even though I'm aware of their different meanings.

My favorite would be Romancing the Rosetta Stone. But honestly any of the three works. By the way Mani, you might want to update the original post to include me. Unless my invitation to join has been rescinded :p

Done.
Good that you reminded me 'cause I'd probably forget my head if it wasn't screwed on. :-)
