Thank you for the endorsement, but I’d really really really prefer not to captain the team next year. Doesn’t anybody want to step up? Newbies aren’t allowed to start a team and the general consensus is that it’s better to have TAC veterans as team leaders. Isn’t there anyone who’s already survived a TAC, whether in team Asgard or in some other team, wishing to captain next year’s Scandinavian Team? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Tack så mycket! Nice to see you here again! You’re not alone in realizing that 2014 didn’t turn out as productive as hoped for, but I’m sure we can do better next year! Have you already signed-up in the wikia and the TAC 2015 Official Thread or, like me, are you still considering your options for the future? Anyway, I hope we’ll still share the journey! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

December Challenge
As posted on my log: A new year is about to commence and it's time to draw conclusions on my overall progress and to plan my goals for the future. First of all, what a year this was. I have started a new chapter in my life and it is amazing to see how positevely language-learning is changing it, enriching it and shaping me as time flows by. Of course, countless of difficulties and problems were encountered on the way, always trying to bring me down, but the motivation and help offered by the members of this forum kept me going, so thank you all and especially the Asgård members and its leader for helping me through this journey. Swedish: This is how I started and what goals I set for myself last year: "I'm starting from scratch and I aim to reach a solid A2 by the end of 2014." If you've followed my log long enough, you'll know how much my love for this language has increased over the year. It's actually been a real surprise for me too. I've started learning it because "I liked how it sounded", which may seem like a silly reason to get one to go through such pain and effort, but as I've been learning the language I of course got to discover its culture, and I've found myself to be drawn by anything Swedish: from its amazing literature to its architecture, from its politics to its history. This of course is a vicious cicle which made me make enormous progress in learning the language. So yeah, I am happy to say that I have reached my goal and maybe crossed a bit beyond. I am definitely seeing myself getting my hands much deeper into this fascinating world. Jag vill önska er allihopa ett gott nytt år! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Well done, Sarnek, on your progress in Swedish this year!
--- Here is this year’s last update on what to watch on SVTPlay. As you can see there are quite a few titles. I hope I didn’t mess too much with the links and the info is correct. If you find mistakes, let me know and I’ll try to fix them. Äta sova dö until 2 January 2015. Julkalendern - Piratskattens hemlighet och Alla dagar fram till jul until 23 January 2015. Kan du vissla Johanna? until 23 January 2015. Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton until 23 January 2015. Den goda viljan until 25 January 2015. Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar until 25 January 2015. Jerusalem until 2 February 2015. Julkalendern: Hotell Gyllene knorren until 5 February 2015. Gynekologen i Askim - Säsong 1 until 1 March 2015. Pippi Långstrump until 30 March 2015. Gynekologen i Askim - Säsong 2 until 2 April 2015. Hoppas farfar dör until 15 June 2015. Taxi until 18 December 2015. --- A couple of days ago, I contacted all the original team members we haven’t heard from in a long time, inviting them to get in touch and update us on their TAC’14. So far, it doesn’t look like my appeal was successful but I’m still hoping we’ll get to hear from at least some of them. --- Finally: Is there really no one who’s willing to become the team leader for next year? There are several veterans on the team who are possible candidates. Could we at least discuss a turnover? We have only a couple of days left to find a captain and I think it would be a pity if Team Scandinavian started 2015 without a team leader and a team thread. Please, everyone, let your voice be heard! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I am not sure I would make the ideal team leader, but I am stepping in. I have been learning too individually
this year and it is about time doing something to account for all the dedication and attention from the team leader and the other members. I only ask you guys to be around and help me keep things on track if I become forgetful, because time still isn't an issue for me. I also need to get used to editing those posts and adding all links, but it is rather an issue of having enough practice. So, if it is ok with you guys, I volunteer. 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||

@Expugnator
Thank you! Ask if you need help. As far as editing and adding links, if I could do it, anyone can. I was a total technoob before I joined HTLAL, and I still am. Still I managed to learn the basic editing on this forum and I'm sure you will too. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

That's great to hear, Expug.
For those of us who learn Danish, New Year will start with a bang: Arvingerne season 2 is due on January 1st. And from today the full season 2 of Bankerot is online. You can still watch season 1 of those if you missed it. (everything on dr.dk) Even though it's intended for children, Tidsrejsen was great too, so consider watching that (possible until mid-January I think). I'll be away without internet access these next few days, I hope I can have a proper start into TAC 2015 after that. So long... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hello there! I've joined the TAC for Norwegian, and language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35836&PN=0&TPN=5">her eis the link to my log. I'm not a
true beginner in Norwegian, as I have already attempted Assimil Norwegian twice, to abandon at lesson 51 and lesson 28 the second time around. So I guess I'm a low A2 or something. My goal is to finish Assimil at least and try to read a novel in Norwegian. Jeg er så glad å laere norsk neste år! I've had a look at this year's thread and I'm thrilled at the idea of joining such an interesting team! Edited by agantik on 30 December 2014 at 9:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
