@Brun Ugle, can you add me officially to the Slavic/Romance team and take me off the Romance team? (All
you other Slavic/Romance members are definites, right?)

@Mooby, if a Polish team forms I will join it. The Slavic/Romance team is pretty small right now, and the
Polish team probably will be, too, so I think I can handle being on both. I just don't want to get into a situation
where I have 20+ teammates.

I've been thinking about the Romance team. Though I'm practising my Galician lately, I think I'll leave it aside next year. In february I'll start a new job and, apart from preparing myself for it, I'll use mainly English, so I need to still improve my English. Also, I want to continue on with German, so the Germanic team befits my goals perfectly.

I wish I could follow studying Galician, but I'm afraid that it won't be daily, so I'll be only on the Germanic team.

On another note, if someone could explain the duties of a Godfather, or mother, I would
definitely consider offering that kind of help for Arabic, since most of everyone here
speaks English anyway. I speak both.

I'm learning Egyptian Arabic so it would be wonderful if you could be the godmother for
the Middle Eastern team :) Below is the original proposal:

I'd like to propose one new thing: liaison / exchange / 'supervisor'
members for TAC Teams.

As we all know here, it can be extremely beneficial to have the help of native or
otherwise knowledgeable speakers of the languages we study. Why not share that as well,
especially when it shjould be all the more beneficial for those who intend to boost
their studies by enrolling in the TACs, and we have plenty of those people right here
at HTLAL?

I'd propose that natives or sufficiently advanced speakers who are not actively
studying their target languages anymore can enroll in TAC teams to help out the
studying members, or otherwise add to the fun, drift their teams more towards TL and
away from English-only communication, etc. :)

We've had some real Russian speakers in Team Sputnik (Russian Team for TAC '12) Skype
sessions and God saw it was good. I think it would be even better if this becomes more
the rule than it is the exception, just not constrained to Skype (which most teams
don't seem to do anyway) but generalized to any team activities.

To preach by the example, I offer myself as such liaison member for any Spanish Team
that may be formed or teams that have Spanish as one of their TLs. If this is approved
/ considered a good idea, I'll update my post with links to such teams when it happens.

I read that Amerykanka is willing to join, and I'd like to keep a Polish team going into 2013.

I'd also love to see Team Żubry going strong into 2013, I've enjoyed all of your logs.

If it'd help the numbers, I'm OK with staying on Team Żubr, but it'll probably be more of the same low-key but steady participation for Polish in contrast to what I'll do for Finnish and Turkish.

I think it might a bit redundant to be godparent of one's own team, but if people in the
Slavic/Romance team need help with Latin American and/or Caribbean Spanish I'll be there
to help.

That would be absolutely awesome if you could help with Spanish! Spanish is probably going to be my most-
studied language in 2013.

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!

OK. I'll leave you on the Romance team and take you off the others then.

Thanks!
