The idea of having teams organized by linguistic families (rather than of numerous possible permutation of families)
makes the most sense to me: I'd be happy to continue as a member of Team Romantics. I don't think there was an only-Germanic languages team this year, was there? If there's one for 2013, I'd be happy to join that as well, starting German when I've finished my Assimil Experiment in Italian.

stifa:
I don’t really want to pay for my own internet when it is already supposed to be covered in my rent. Of course, heat in the bathroom, a balcony door that shuts properly, a kitchen fan that blows air out of the apartment instead of into the bathroom are probably included in the rent too and would certainly be nice to have. I think I will probably move eventually, but I kind of want to wait to see if I get a job around here or in another town before I decide where I should move to. songlines: You probably noticed from my rules that I’m pretty flexible, so I can very well let sign-ups go to the third week or even the end of January. I have also been considering that in some cases it would be best to group languages by families since there often aren’t enough people studying some of the less common languages to make up a proper team. Some languages like Japanese and Russian have so many people studying them that they can easily make up a team all by themselves. In other cases, there are so few members studying one language that a team with only that language would be impossible. It already looks like we are likely to have an Asian team. Romance and Germanic are also likely groupings. It will probably be a week or two before enough people have signed up that I can start properly organizing teams. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How did this get un-sticky? Is it because I edited the first post? I won't try doing that again.

I stickied the thread back where it should be. This has happened many times before. I don't know if editing the first post causes the problem, but it can be stickied again so please do edit it if you need to. Thanks for starting the 2013 TAC and good luck and good studies to all!
UNIMPORTANT EDIT: It's interesting that we write "stickied" and not "stuck" when referring to this problem ! "Stickied" just feels like the right verb form to use in this situation. Edited by meramarina on 04 December 2012 at 4:57pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A big thanks to Brun Ugle for organizing this (Norway based girls definitely have a lot of initiative :-)
I am happy to announce that we not only have the nucleus of a Russian team (me and tarvos) as tarvos has written above, but since fabriciocarraro and tecktight are in too, we actually have a full blown team already! Team Sputnik has been a great experience - I have no idea yet what we will call our new Russian team for TAC 2013 - but old and new team members are welcome to join! We accepted 20 team members this year so we have plenty of room for more eager Russian students :-) Languages: Russian (obviously!) - trying to catch the elusive B1. German (trying to get to B2) - Italian - trying to get back to B2, and a host of dabbling languages which will probably follow where I go for a holiday (Arabic and Greek is on the horizon) Team/individual: TEAM Suggestions: To have lots of fun? :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Finally it's coming! Been waiting for the new TAC for a while!
Well anyway, i'm definitely in! I'd love to be part of an Asian team。 Languages : - Japanese (trying to get the JLPT N1 next december), Korean (trying to finally get out of the slump I built myself in..), Mandarin Chinese (hopefully getting around B2 by the end of next year). Those will be the most important, but I'll also be doing Indonesian and Thai after a bit. - I'd also maybe like to be part of a Scandinavian team. I just started Norwegian and It's getting me more and more attracted to Scandinavian languages and along next year, who knows, I might start another one. Team/Individual : TEAM! Suggestions : Well let's just keep it strong for one year and help out each other ；—） 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm so happy to hear that the Russian team will live on! Some of the cosmonauts have done really great, while my
own progress and participation have been much more modest. However, I will renew my effort next year and continue studying the same languages as (I should have studied) this year: Russian, Italian, French, German, English. And maybe something else for 6wc (Polish, Turkish, Greek or Latin pop up in my mind as suitable candidates). //aloysius 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I hope that means that you intend to be part of it :-) In that case we are already 5 members and officially already the largest and fastest growing team in the TAC 2013 registration! 1 person has voted this message useful |
