I would also like to participate in this year's individual TAC if it is not too late. I will concentrate my efforts on improving my Korean.

I'd love to sign up too, if that's okay. :)
I ran across this challenge late, but it sounds great!
My native language is English, and I am studying French.
I assume I am too late to join an actual team, but if any spots open up, I'd love to jump in.

Me too, me too! I want to polish up my English, get almost perfect result on TOEFL. It says on my workbook that I'm C1 so let's pretend it's true.

Hey Everybody!,
So, I'm wandering through the Dallas airport the other day, reflecting on the year so far... not only can I not
believe that I'm still writing "2010" on my checks, I also can not believe that I still have a checkbook. My New
Year's diet resolution is still going strong, as I was passing up the many appetizing eateries (and the Cinnabons),
I had a quasi-epiphany... wait, where am I going with this?
OK, so last year I had an excellent idea for TAC'10: to complete as many Pimsleur courses as possible. Long
story short, about one and a half were "possible". Although I didn't accomplish much in the way of language
annihilation, I did run three marathons, which was three more than I had ever previously ran...
So anyway, I love walking around airports when I have a long layover -- this time was no different. One thing
that I did take notice of; however, was the fact that every 50 feet or so, there was a Rosetta Stone kiosk. Lol.
Suckers! Who buys $500 useless language software in an airport?!?! I tried out one of their courses in '02/'03
for about a week - barely got past "the new elephant is under the red table" before coming to the obvious
realization that elephants are color blind, and therefore the redness or blueness of the table would be irrelevant
to them (sound effect: tossing Rosetta Stone CD across the room, into the trash)
Ok, so fast forward to now -- apparently the "new improved" versions are "better" (it would be difficult to not
be)... and, as luck would have it, I apparently have access to the newer versions of the software. So here it is:
my 2011 TAC Challenge: Complete as many Rosetta Stone Courses as Possible.
That's it! Game on!

Hello,
I've been invited to join the Hungarian Team Ő and would like to be added to it.
This year I am going to complete Assimil Hungarian and be able to read an online newspaper while understanding 60-70% of it, which means a hell of a lot of supplemental vocabulary work. I would also like to listen to a radio station and be able to understand at least 30% of what's going on. I know all this is a tall order, I think it works as far as goals go.
