@Bjorn Cool! Once we get feedback from some other possible FR/DE team members,
I'll add that team to the list.

I'm in this year as well. My two main focuses will be French and German, with the
majority of the emphasis being on the weaker one, which is French. I'll also be mixing
some Latin in to help me cool down after the former two tire me out for the day. I'd
like to be in a team - preferably in an active, enthusiastic French and German team.
I'm willing to help anyone with their French and German as best I can.
I've always had difficulty deciding what level I am at in any of my languages. But the
really subjective term of "advanced" fits my German in all but the most pedantic minds.
My French is an even more difficult situation. Reading and writing are advanced, but
listening and speaking are pretty variable. I suppose I need to work on my nerves. I'll
mainly be focusing on not focusing on writing - so reading and listening mainly.
Speaking will be easy to resuscitate a bit later in the year after I've done a few
hundred hours of listening.
My Latin used to be good but is probably non-existent now. I will be using this for fun
so will read through the two Lingua Latina books first, then go more complicated
things. I really want to look at and understand the grammar this time around without
feeling like I'm being tested on it. I'll be reading aloud - I hate the sound of my own
voice in any language so hearing myself in Latin might lift my nerves in other
languages. Bizarrely this problem has never existed with German.

As for me, I’m interested in being part of the Team TAC with German and
Mandarin. Luna Moonsilver and NickJS, maybe a combo Sinitic/Germanic team is in
order…? |

I would definitely like to be involved in a team TAC for Japanese. I have no plans to study anything else next year. If there are other willing participants I could set up a thread for expressions of interest.

I did my first TAC in 2009 and I will do the individual TAC in 2012, not a team TAC. My experience with the team TAC 2011 is that several people joined my Turkish team, but they have all dropped out after writing 2-3 posts in their log. For me this is not motivating! I can better motivate myself then.
