I started studying French last week, so I'd like to sign up for this team as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Go teams!!
I won't be joining the Japanese team this year but I'll be watching and sighing wistfully from the sidelines. ( p_q) I'll continue French but I don't expect to get far because I'll be taking an online course to prepare me for a new job in 2013. The course will take me about a year to complete. I really like the momentum of TAC and I think it will help me in my studies! So I'd be happy to join the German team and offer support. And I'll try to come in as often as I can. edit: I'll just change the name of my current log. Edited by Sunja on 05 December 2012 at 10:07am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've never done a TAC before. I'll participate this year if you'll let me. I'll be continuing my Mandarin study,

Brun Ugle: I can't join four teams, that would not be doable, and I have decided I am not
joining a Hebrew team because I haven't started studying it yet. If there is a Celtic team to be I will join that as a secondary member, but otherwise I am part of the Russian team. I doubt I will join a Scandinavian team, but if that comes to fruition I will check some of the logs and post occasionally, but I do that with any log I find worth the time. I expect that my participation in the Russian team will be demanding. Edited by tarvos on 05 December 2012 at 10:21am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

By decree of the TAC Dictator:
liammcg and Quique: I've put you on the Romance team. Teango: No problem. Cristina had already told me you would be on the Russian team. Sunja: Germanic team. Vegemighty: Asian team tarvos: I kind of figured you wouldn't want to do all of those. I have you down as a definite Russian team member and a possible Celtic team member. I will post an updated list in a few days. Edited by Brun Ugle on 05 December 2012 at 10:42am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow this came up quickly!
Due to my usual overestimation of the amount of progress I'd make towards my goals, or more accurately my underestimation of how much progress was actually needed for these goals, my TAC 2013 plan will be remarkably similar to my 2012 one: French: advanced/semi-fluent to more advanced and more fluent. I'd say I was a low B2 a year ago, probably a high B2 now, and I'm aiming for C1. Italian: conversational to advanced/semi-fluent, or high B1 to high B2. Spanish: very much still a "maybe", I don't want to start it until when, or more likely if, I reach the above goals. Which means I'll still be a Romantic ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've never done TAC before but I hope to finally participate this year :).
The thing is I have clearly defined priorities for the first half of the year... whereas I'm still not sure what I'm going to focus on in the second half. My learning priorities for the first half of 2013 are (in random order): - French (improving my passive skills to the C1 level) - German (improving my active formal vocabulary and general interpreting skills) - Swedish (getting to weak B1, I guess) Which team would be the one to join? :) Edited by Julie on 05 December 2012 at 12:21pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's a nice idea but I'm not fully convinced. Too much risk of "blind leading the blind", especially considering how awful most of the written French I see on this forum is (and I'm sure this includes some of my own past contributions!). Even advanced learners get quite basic things wrong quite often (again including myself!). Also it would have similar problems to a language class - people who are supposedly at the same level as each other often have quite different mixtures of knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. I do like the idea of combining links to useful resources, since there is a lot of info on here that's great but spread around and hard to find, but I think there would be better places for that, perhaps the wiki. Searching through a long forum thread to find information is no fun. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
