Åååååååh what a fantastic name!!!!!!
Speaking of godmothers - not everyone is excited about this title the way Cristina is :D I think something more neutral would be better. It just feels weird to be called godmother when you're 22 and just starting your first real job:D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Elftal literally comes from elf (=eleven) and tal=amount. Just like tiental, twintigtal, etc. It came to mean team because in many sports you play 11-a-side, so a football team is always called an elftal (because you start with eleven on the pitch). Same for hockey. You cannot use elftal for, say, a tennis team or a skating team or a cycling team. In that case, you use the word "ploeg" 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Field(!) hockey, not ice rink hockey. Ice hockey isn't popular in the Netherlands. We
play hockey on artificial grass ;) That is played 11-a-side. Edited by tarvos on 11 December 2012 at 4:25pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

With the sudden rise of the BCMS team, I'd like to join, since I'll be working with the
language(s) anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If it happens to have an exclusive Norwegian team, I'd like to join it for Norwegian because I really need to work hard on it in order to learn to read it asap.
While we're at it: what if I realize I've achieved my goal before the end of the year? Will I be able to kinda report that my TAC has come to an end, or will I still be seen as a deserter? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't know how it works in the teams, but as an individual I will have a moving goalpost, so if I manage to reach my goal earlier than expected, then I'll just fix a new goal for myself.
