Ja, weet ik natuurlijk--het woord "perkament" is heel algemeen in de Harry Potter reeks--
maar het klinkt voor mij heel toevallig.

Ah, ik wist niet dat 'perkament' letterlijk 'parchment' in het Nederlands is. D'oh. :-)

Ik ben het in ieder geval met je eens, het klinkt zeer willekeurig.

Just saw this in the Polish / Ukrainian team thread:

Chung wrote:

For now I was thinking of something easy we could all do. For example, an obvious idea
like everybody (except observers of course, unless they want to) has to write 10 basic
sentences about themselves in Polish or Ukrainian and the native observers can correct
them if they're willing. Those with a higher level can steer clear of the obvious
introductory sentences and write something more complicated.

So about 10 such sentences by the end of the month?
...
Why the hell not? A variation of this idea is based on those Facebook notes from about
a few years ago where you had to list 25 things about yourself and then tag 25 other
people as a nudge for them to each make such a list about themselves. To make it level
with an introduction of 10 sentences, list 10 things about yourself (they can be made
up and we would be none the wiser/dumber) using Polish or Ukrainian. Translation
to English is optional or maybe there'd be a short a list of vocabulary used in the
sentences to allow raw beginners to get the gist of what's meant while also stretching
their minds a bit by avoiding the crutch of a translation.

Food for thought in developing the next team challenge, maybe. Seems a bit duplicative
of the intro, maybe.

Ooh, I loved those Facebook notes! Before that they were a Xanga thing, no? Anyway, I think it's a great idea. So
retro!

The basic theme is similar to the intro, but I remember those surveys had all kinds of quirky questions too. Those
might be fun to answer in your target language.
