I think I managed to add myself properly for my languages.

I wasn't sure what to put for my level in German because I'm not that familiar with the
CEFR levels (I've heard of them but never taken an exam for one). I found a chart which
says that "Post A Level" = B2, so I went with a slightly more a cautious B1. lol.

It's actually good that you post a short notice here after having registered. So I know when I need to update the roster.

Thank you!

I totally agree with Mohave. If we are going to create as well the motivational TAC
intermediate and advanced, I think those should be on top of the normal language
teams,
basically a motivational group for those struggling with the intermediate plateau or
with
the advanced issues, which I find to be quite similar across all the languages.

I agree with Mohave that it is not good to split the language teams according to the
level, I found it awesome to have mixed levels in the team. And I am really convinced
that splitting the French learners in two teams (not my level but just splitting them)
actually hurt the teams, especially the second one (as the most active french learning
htlalers, that are quite sure to keep going due to forum addiction, mostly signed up
in time to get into the first one). The more members at the beginning, the bigger
chances of
survival of the team until the end.

Seconding what Cavesa said, the second French team didn't work out well. Partly it was the loss of our dear leader. But in the end there were only about 5 of us who have posted anything since the summer. Anyway, I've signed up quickly this time to avoid disappointment.

I also agree that it's better to keep mixed abilities together.

I don't know how to express this on the wikia, so I'll just post it
here. But if there are enough like-minded people, I'd be interested in joining an
Asian language team similar to the possible Romance team. But, I don't think I would
join multiple teams, or try to pick 1 and guess which language will get the majority
of my attention this year.


Definitely with you on that. The Asian team worked really well a year ago and I think
this year the three major asian teams (Jap, Kor, Ch) ended up not being very active.
Of course, help was given to each other, ideas shared and what not, but the team
thread were quite dead.
If we end up with three different teams, I'll certainly do 2 teams, thus "stopping" (I
mean not officially being in a team for it) Japanese considering my level, but I'd
rather not do that. :)

Any other in favor?

I would be interested in an Asian team. I am only studying Japanese but I have been following
a few of the Korean logs this year anyway because I think the challenges facing intermediate
learners of Japanese and Korean are quite similar.

I also think it would be really cool to try learning some Korean through the medium of
Japanese, but I doubt I'll have time for that this year!

I was a little bit disappointed by the Japanese Team 旅立ち this year. Although I got a lot of support by advanced
learners like g-bod and vonPeterhof, the team thread was basically dead.

As Japanese isn't a high priority language of mine in 2015, I haven't signed up for the new team yet, but an Asian
team might be interesting. I remember the famous Asian team of the TAC 2013, which was led by druckfehler. If
there's interest to repeat this multilingual experiment, I might join it.
