I'd like to do Spanish, French, Italian and perhaps German. I'm not sure what this is all about though. All my languages are beginner except German. I don't know any of that. Also, my Spanish I think is higher than all the others. Is there any way to find out what level we are, like a test online, or do we just have to check it on a chart?

I would like to be added to the French list.
My goals for 2011 are: French - Advance from my current A1-ish level to at least B1 level, preferably B2. For a variety of reasons I've decided to put my other languages on the backburner to do serious work on French until I reach a high intermediate level. Methods: L-R lots of books Structured course(s) for formal grammar understanding Attend weekly conversation practice with local francophone group Enjoy French media of various kinds: movies, music, books, etc. SRS to build vocabulary Lower Priority: German - Main goal is to maintain and/or improve my passive listening skills, work on building vocabulary (SRS drills), possibly more active study depending on French progress. Japanese - Main goal for this year is to solidify hiragana/katakana knowledge by means of writing practice, and make steady progress on kanji with writing practice. I may also try to continue work through Assimil, depending on my French progress. Ignore all other languages until next year! - This is probably the most difficult... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm aiming to totally annihilate my monolingualism and gently encourage my Spanish.
Can you add me to the individual TAC please (Dutch, Spanish) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Right yes, my plan of aTac...
French - Maintain whilst still progressing at school. Aim for full B2 level, instead of just having it in certain areas. Spanish - Resurrect knowledge and try and shore up the foundations, aiming for solid B1 Esperanto - Gain A2 level Mandarin - Plod steadily towards A1/A2 and have completed Heisig. Toki Pona - Wanderlust vaguely. And I've got a few other ideas for wanderlust that I'm keeping to myself until I see exactly how little things like exams go... Team TAC sounds great, and if you need a little help here and there, just give a shout. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is starting to look really good, people! At the moment I'm still just compiling a list of participants along with the language(s) they are studying. I'm going to start another list right now with some possible team arrangements, but for now I'm going wait on posting it for a few more days so that we can get more people on the sign-up list so as to facilitate team creation. Like Sierra said, let's aim to have the final teams ready a few days before New Years. We can always add people in and make adjustments after that. What do we want for a format this year for the teams? Should they just be teams of 2-4 people with a common language like last year, or does anybody have any other ideas? The whole idea of a Team TAC came from DaraghM while brainstorming for last year's TAC, so maybe this year will yield another brilliant idea.
In any case, here is the current list of participants. The German and French lists are massive! TAC 2011 TEAM CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS Arabic: JPike1028, marvelgirll, Quabazaa, ReneeMona, Préposition Czech: nuriayasmin Dutch: ellasevia, marvelgirll, noriyuki_nomura, Shokhn English: rob4languages, noriyuki_nomura, ReneeMona Esperanto: ellasevia, Lianne, LittleBoy, Luai_lashire French: JPike1028, Cetacea, rob4languages, noriyuki_nomura, garyb, Quabazaa, ReneeMona, Whitefish, gizmo2012, troglodyte, Persona, Luai_lashire Georgian: ruskivyetr German: thephantomgoat, ellasevia, ruskivyetr, Lianne, JPike1028, Solfrid Cristin, noriyuki_nomura, Quabazaa, ReneeMona, troglodyte Greek: ellasevia, ruskivyetr, rob4languages, Alpha Hebrew: Shokhn Italian: magictom123, JPike1028, noriyuki_nomura, garyb, handfulofkeys, gizmo2012, diabolo menthe Japanese: ellasevia, noriyuki_nomura, Alpha, nuriayasmin, Luai_lashire Korean: noriyuki_nomura Mandarin: thephantomgoat, rob4languages, noriyuki_nomura, Whitefish, LittleBoy Norwegian: nuriayasmin Persian: ellasevia, Cetacea Polish: thephantomgoat, Vos, Alpha Portuguese: noriyuki_nomura Romanian: ellasevia Russian: ellasevia, ruskivyetr, Solfrid Cristin, JPike1028, noriyuki_nomura, handfulofkeys, Préposition Spanish: Monte_Cristo, thephantomgoat, Vos, noriyuki_nomura, Quabazaa, gizmo2012, LittleBoy, nuriayasmin Swahili: ellasevia Swedish: ellasevia, ruskivyetr Toki Pona: Lianne, LittleBoy Turkish: Sierra, thephantomgoat Yiddish: Shokhn TAC 2011 INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS Genocyde: German, Mandarin, Persian, Russian, Swahili, Swedish Iolanthe: Dutch, Spanish mick33: Afrikaans, Finnish, Spanish, Swedish The Real CZ: Japanese, Korean If you are wishing to participate in a 2011 TAC Challenge but don’t see your name on one of these lists, please announce your participation in this thread. If you notice any errors at all, please point them out to me and I’ll fix them right away. Also note that unless you specifically say otherwise, I will add you to the TTAC list. Specific Concerns: Persona – Would you like me to add you to the German and/or Japanese lists? LittleBoy – Would you like me to keep you on the Toki Pona list? I was originally not going to include it as you said it was just wanderlust, but after seeing Lianne’s comment I reconsidered. (EDIT: I've just finished organizing everyone who has signed up into ten teams, with each person on just one team. To the best of my abilities, I've also tried to accommodate what people have said their focus languages are, but there might be some exceptions (sorry!). I've had to I've tried to make them somewhat equal in numbers, most of them have three participants. With the addition of more people though, these teams are undoubtedly going to get jumbled up a lot. If any other organizers would like to take a look at this preliminary list, just ask and I can PM it to you.)

Oooh, please, count me in!
Russian: B1 to C1 Arabic: A2 to C1 And if I managed to fit that in my studies, then I'd like to do Swedish or Breton from scratch up to an A2 level :) Edited by Préposition on 16 December 2010 at 12:13am 1 person has voted this message useful |
