We are here to argue with Grumpy Cat: 
We are going to get over this situation: 
Of course, we're different. We have different target languages, different levels at them, different ways of studying... but we do have something in common. We are concentrating of our first foreign language (excluding English, if necessary). From my own experience I see that the most hard thing in studying your first foreign language is lack of experience (sorry for pun). You're not sure if you're doing it right, you're not sure if you need to study language at all, you can't understand why there's no improvement after hours and hours of hard work, etc. Polyglots say that next language would be easier, but they usually do not stop to explain you how to maintain your first one. Hence our goal is to find that out by ourselves! I hope that eventually we'll get a "language learning circle": experienced learners will be helping newbies and newbies will be motivating experienced learners. I do believe that if you explaining something to someone you can understand that something even better than you already do. And in order to end up this long introduction I want to thank Serpent for she is the one who did lead me here.

TAC is only about to begin but I already have an idea for all of us.
While I'll be waiting for help in writing TAC instructions, I suggest for us to make post-presentation right here. We don't know each other yet and this is no good for the team, eh? Requirements: your presentation should be: - bilingual, if possible (English (necessary) + your TL) - not long and not boring - done by mid-January Consider it as your real signing up, as some sort of captcha. Of course, if majority wouldn't agree to do it, I'll forget about it. But I think that we should do some work to show that we do take TAC seriously, eh? You can do it in any form, btw. Either text, either picture, either audio, either video - just try to compress information about you and your goals into something short and beautiful. I'm not sure that I'm able to do it myself, haha, but I'll try. If you have questions, ask me right here or PM me or send an e-mail to viadiva9@yandex.ru P.S. Yes, I'll present myself, but just not now :) Edited by Via Diva on 01 January 2014 at 11:33am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hm. I'm considering switching my target language from Italian (which I've been learning
for 3 months now) to German (no time spent at all). Would I still qualify for this team? EDIT: Or can I learn both German and Italian at the same time? Edited by corjine on 10 December 2013 at 1:09pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

corjine, I think it's okay as long as you want to grip the very idea of "how to learn the language" :) You can also study both, I'm planning to take care about my Swedish from time to time too.
Serpent, thanks, but it still lacks instructions... And I don't like to seem ungrateful, hehe )) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
