Here's the thread for the TAC Polish study team!
So far, we have:
Meramarina, Amerykanka, Vos, Chung, WentworthsGal, Mooby, Homogenik
and others are very welcome to join. What should we use for a name?
(I was looking for a way to say "annoying one's deceased ancestors by learning the language they didn't want you to know" but perhaps that's not such a good idea!)
Update: As of January 8, here we are:
THE BISON
Amerykanka
Vos
Mooby
WentworthsGal
Homogenik
Chung
Meramarina

The first post by ellasevia in the TAC 2012, should explain most everything. I haven't participated in the TAC before, although I've kept my own log. It should be motivating!

I'd like to join too (just pm'd).
As for our name....hmmm...
> 'White Eagles'? (national emblem)
> 'The Red and Whites'? (national colours)
> 'Kicking through dry leaves'? (how it sounds!)
I give up, there's got to be better ideas :)

- Team "Reksio" [after the Polish cartoon character]
- Team "Żubr" ('European Bison') / Team "Żubry" ('Bisons') [European Bisons are now confined to a forest that straddles northeastern Poland and northwestern Belorussia]
- Team "Kolejorz" ['Railwayman' in Poznanian slang but now synonymous with Lech Poznań because of the team's association with the national railway company]) / Team 'Kolejorze' [Railwaymen] (this name came to mind only because I have a few friends from Poznań or who now live in or near the city).
