I'd love to join a Georgian team, but the language seems to be way down at the bottom of
ruskivyetr's list of priorities and to be gradually falling off ellasevia's radar these
days. I'm also not the best advertisement for a teammate due to my ever rarer updates of
Small Expectations.
However, if anyone wants to take the plunge with Georgian (it's really easy, honest! The
verbs are completely straightforward and regular!) I'd be up for it.

Yay, another person studying فارسى! We can resurrect the Persian Team (Team چ) if you like, but I'd have to make sure I'm not already tied down to a Swahili Team or the like. Does that sound alright? Otherwise you can enter as an individual participant.

Would it be bad form for someone who already has a log from last year to start a new one for this year? I feel like it would help me to have a feeling of starting afresh, and also I just don't like threads that stretch on and on for many pages, so I would prefer to have a new one. But if that is frowned upon I will just use my old one. |

That's exactly what I plan to do. I actually thought that's what most people would do, but apparently some just prefer to keep all of their logging in one spot.

TixhiiDon, since it's unlikely that many more people are going to sign up for Georgian, I can group you with ruskivyetr in the Polish Team if you'd like since you both share Polish (and Georgian). I know Georgian is your focus language, but this way we can get you onto a team at least. :) Or, you could join as an individual participant. What do you think?
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Georgian (but don't tempt me!). In 2011 I'm attempting to finish up some prior linguistic commitments before moving on to devour more foreign delicacies such as Georgian later on. (However, don't you think it's a little mischievous of you trying to lure innocent people to ქართული with not-so-honest statements like "it's really easy" and "the verbs are completely straightforward and regular"? :P)

I would like to join individually for languages.
Native Language is English.
Languages I Wish to Learn This Year:
French - I'm a very rusty UK O Level French
Italian - I'm a complete beginner
Dutch - Ditto
My goal is not to achieve a certain standard, but to get as far as I can get, and just work consistently.
Please could someone send me a link on this site where the levels are explained?
I think I know what they are, but I don't want to make a mistake before I start. I have found web references
to the Delf and Dalf French definitions. Does anyone know what the equivalents are for Dutch and Italian?
Or are there European or other more inclusive ones?
I'm also going to add Jazz Piano to my list. For me, it has many similarities to language learning and it is
just as important to me personally. I will be posting a log on my blog, or here if allowed, if anyone's
interested in joining me. (Is it? I understand if it's not, to avoid site dilution and divergence reasons). The
last thing I want to do, is to upset anyone so please don't aggressively attack me for suggesting such a
thing, I'm just sharing for interest sake, I'm not wishing to change a wonderful website. I'm a newbie to the
site you see, so I'm still learning the ropes.
If anyone is interested, I already "know" other musical genres; classical piano, flute, tenor saxophone and
music theory, although I no longer play woodwind instruments due to ill health - sob. Languages are going
to be a replacement true love, (sometimes frustrating hate), obsession, timewaster, timefiller and hobby. I
could wax lyrical about the similarities between languages and music. I shall bore you no more, relax.
Please also, may I take this opportunity to thank in advance: the organisers, 2010 achievers and failures
(for their inspiration, and likewise the 2011 participants I have learnt from already), and the native speakers;
so kind in their offer to help us all.

I didn't initially want to join, cos I don't know if I'll have the discipline to maintain
a log, but what the heck... I'd like to join the Arabic team.
Currently, I'm not fluent. I would like to be semi-fluent.
Thanks.
Edit: Ohh, a jazz piano team sounds awesome. I love jazz. My current (limited) repertoire
is entirely classical. I have 'The Jazz Piano Book' by Mark Levine. Pity I still haven't
gotten around to reading it.

Hi
I want to add the tags: "English", "Dutch" and "TAC" under my log's title, but the MICROTAG doesn't function on my log I think.
When I click on it (MICROTAG), its a list of my languages, but when I click on something in this list, it doesn't something at all.
If someone can help and add those tags, it will be very nice. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!! The tags are now under my logs title. I don't know who has done this, but it's great, thank you very much. |

You're welcome. I have tagged your TAC log.
