The Romance team is having a hard time trying to decide how or if they should control their size. However, I know that some people have left or chosen not to join because of the team being too large for their tastes. Therefore I have made a decision myself. If the Romance team wishes, they may grow as large as they want. However, for those who are interested in a smaller team, I am considering the following options:
1) We could create a new Romance team like we did with the Russian team. Except that in this case people could choose to join either team (until the first Romance team decides to stop taking new members). 2) We could allow those who wish to have a single language team to create a new team or teams. For example, a French team or a Spanish team. 3) All of the above, assuming we get enough people to join the teams. Those who are interested, let me know and we can decide how we wish to proceed. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

You may study as many languages as you wish, on your own or on teams. If your friend wishes to join, we could set up an official TAC duo, or you two can continue as before without making a team. You don't need teams for everything. I will put you back on the Scandinavian team. There are quite a few studying Norwegian plus a Norwegian godmother, so I'm sure it will be very useful. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

It's ok that way, because I'll keep checking her log nonetheless, so that won't represent any extra work for me. And now I can dedicate myself fully to Norwegian, counting on a great godmother!!

I think the idea of the Japanese and Asian teams interlinking is a good one. Especially
since I was thinking about a not-so-far-in-the-future Korean or Mandarin. But these are all just tentative ideas. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

At this point the Japanese team already has 13 members and will probably get a few more before the year is out, so I think putting the teams together would make a team that was uncomfortably large. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, of course. That's the general idea behind this TAC thing, is it not? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

[QUOTE=JohannaNYC] girlonthewing and TheGreaterFool you have question marks for the
Middle Eastern team. Are you in or are you waiting on something to make your decision? Not sure i should still be on the team if i am the only one studying hebrew and the rest studying arabic. i would be ok with not being on this team then. so kindly take me off of the Middle Eastern team...I will work on Hebrew as solo...

I posted this to the Team Schnitzel thread but I thought I would also post it to the
general TAC2013 thread. There has been a lot of talk across the teams about skyping as a means of connecting members. I know that Skype is a premium service for video conferencing but i did a search the a competing service is called Oovoo (http://www.oovoo.com) which allows you to video conference with up to 12 people for free...might be worth considering in place of Skype. I have used Oovoo and it works really well (in some cases I felt that it was smoother than Skype) cheers niels 3 persons have voted this message useful |
