It's allowed to be on a few teams, but there's no team for Swahili and also almost no members learning it:/

I was hoping that there would be a little more interest in Dutch and that we could get a few more people together to form a solid team this year, but it looks as though this simply isn't a good year for people learning Dutch as one of their main foreign languages. Which is why I'm thinking that perhaps going solo this year may be the better option. I suppose we can wait until mid Jan though to see if we get any more people who are interested?

[...] We're also looking for Hebrew and Persian godparents for our team. So if anyone is interested, your help will be greatly appreciated.

If you're really hard up, but as tedious as it may be, scan the members' list and send PMs to people who may be suitable as guardian angels or team members as desired. The worst that they can do is to decline. This is how the Turkish team got started considering how few people there are these days who check in frequently but also study Turkish. To make the search more efficient, get in touch with people who are studying the target language (for team members) or have at least advanced fluency in that language (for godparents) AND whose last time logged in was no more than a month ago. Considering how forums run (huge percentage of lurkers who don't feel strongly enough to post or participate), a friendly nudge via PM from a seasoned veteran to the right people about joining a TAC team can help the latter get off the sidelines and start becoming "productive" posters :-)

@Brun Ugle: can I be added to the Celtic team with Breton, and removed from the Schnitzel team? It was supposed to be a "Germanic team", but it seems it has become a "German"-only team, so I'm not interested anymore. (and if that can help the teams merge, I'd be glad to help!)

I am not sure if this is tha way, but I'll give it a try.

My native language is Greek, I am starting German from the very beginning and I want to work on my french. There may be room for my (horrid) russian as well, but I am not sure.

Is there a team I could join? I saw team sparta, but I am not exactly learning greek (although I am always working on it, and studying its older forms).

How does this work, am I even on the right place?

As it looks like Romance Team 3 isn't going to develop into anything, you can go ahead
and remove me.


Thanks
