Thank you so much Brun Ugle for organizing this. I'm getting very excited to start!

After thinking about it a little more, I would like to narrow down what I'm studying to
just French, no Arabic, no Norwegian. I would rather be able to give 100% to one team
than spread myself thin across two or three. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks again for
doing all of this!

Is there a reason for you limiting Arabic to the Middle Eastern part of it? Many people learn Egyptian Arabic, and Egypt is not in the Middle East. :|

There is no limit to the Middle East. It refers more to the origin of the language. English is considered a European language even if you learn American or Australian English.

What a relief! :D Then can you please put me in the Middle East team with a question mark? (I don't want to be obligated to learn French.)

joshkaasik,

It's great to see your enthusiasm for the upcoming TAC, and as someone who loves
Russian I would encourage you to add the beautiful Russian language to your already
fun-looking mix of Spanish and German!

No doubt someone else will turn up with better ideas but before I did my first TAC, I
started gathering the resources I was going to use. If I were you I'd start gathering
resources for Spanish, German and, if you so desire, Russian.

The first thing you could do from here is decide whether you want to do Russian or not,
and if you decide you do, do you want to be in a team or do Russian individually? Most
of us seem to find it much more motivational being part of a team.

Thanks for the lengthy reply! I've already figured out most of my Spanish resources (Michel Thomas, Pimsleur,
Platiquemos, Assimil, and some music and radio), but am still working on my German resources.. I have Michel
Thomas and Pimsleur German, but need to get Assimil and possibly another book of some sort (open to
suggestions!).

I would LOVE to do Russian.. I grew up in Estonia, so there was always a lot of Russian around, but I never learned
it... now I'm kicking myself for that and looking for another chance to start, but at the moment Spanish and
German are much more practical for me.. so I'll wait 'till TAC 2014 to try to add Russian, I think.

There is no obligation to learn French. It was only suggested as a possible addition to the languages because it is so common in North Africa in addition to Arabic. So you don't have to learn all the languages, any one of them will do.

I'll put you on the list.
