Well, if our team does end up as Team Magpie, let's hope that we get one of the nice magpies as our mascot! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Great! I added your name to the first post. In case anyone wonders why ellasevia's name is missing, I deleted it. (I pm-ed him and he confirmed he wasn't on the team.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There're no magpies in Brazil, but there aren't dragons as well, which would be my vote.
I've been studying Mandarin again since last March. My first try has been many years ago, finishing Pimsleur I and 1/2 of Pimsleur II. At this point, I've finished Michel Thomas, completed more than a 1/3 of Méthode 90 and know about 500 characters. My main goal is to be able to read texts written in simplified characters. Of course, I want to be able to listen, speak and even write a little bit too. It seems that this will be a very active team and since Mandarin will be by far my main language concern, this certainly is going to be an important source of ideas and encouragement. It's only me or you people cannot also see the first picture on Sunja's opening message? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hello everyone! I am looking forward to studying Mandarin with all of you.
I have been learning Spanish for a little over two years now and through self-study have managed to reach an intermediate level. I am now ready to start studying a new foreign language while continuing to maintain and improve my Spanish. One of my brothers has been very interested in learning Mandarin and has studied it off and on over the past year. However, he is still at a very beginner level. I think studying with him will help us both stay on track and get serious about reaching an intermediate level in the language. Also, I hope I will able to help him with study tips since this will be my second foreign language (I've been trying to convince him to study a foreign language for a while now). We've already started working through the FSI pronunciation modules together. Right now we are both pretty much starting from scratch so any suggestions for courses/websites/study methods would be greatly appreciated. Background info about me: I graduated from college about a year ago and currently work as a freelance web designer. I've also started a small business tutoring high schoolers and middle schoolers in English, and I teach several writing classes. Learning languages is just a hobby for me right now, but I'm hoping to one day be able to use it in some part of my career. And also I don't really have a preference for the team name. :) I'll be starting my log in January. Edited by nj24 on 15 December 2013 at 12:47am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hello!
I'd like to join as an observer for now. I'll be starting Mandarin in july as that's when my Japanese evening classes end. I will enroll in the Chinese class in September, but I intend to get familiar with the language before that. I've been studying Japanese for over 5 years so far, and I really want to start with Mandarin this year. I'll be reading the logs of everyone to prepare myself for in preparation for my own studies. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Bao,
the languages you have in your profile are the ones I'm interested in too! I just don't have time for all of them -- but I have tons, TONS of materials lying around. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Haha I actually lack discipline/time management skills more than time. If that's an offer for a potential sale/swap/lending, I have to say that I first have to get into any kind of habit again (or at all), before I know which level and kind of material I can actually work with. >o<;
