It's just for fun times and a nice way of encouraging learning and recognising progression."), JonB, Volte: 31 March 2009 at 4:38am "I'm taking another break from the forum... I'll be back when my current language-learning experiment is over; in the meanwhile, this is a distraction I do not need.

'nough said. Vai TAC 09 (...all ye who enter here) ...won't find anything SpankyTAC "2028" "I am taking the liberty of bending the TAC rules somewhat to establish on a trial basis a log for my study efforts in the form of an extended TAC self-challenge. I am keeping a separate log of a more narrative nature elsewhere, and intend here only to render a dry record for my own purposes of material studied or reviewed, so it is unlikely to be of any real interest to others. Feel free, however, to poke around: it is mostly the fear that others will see here what a lazy fellow I am that hopefully will motivate me to keep studying at least six days a week. Challenge: attain by the end of May 2028 at least a "just a shade beyond rank beginner" conversational and reading ability in the following languages (not necessarily acquired in the following order): French, German, Japanese, Italian, Norwegian, Indonesian, Czech, Swahili, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Scottish Gaelic, Greek, Portuguese, Croatian, Turkish, Swedish, Russian, Africaans and one of either Thai, Laotian or Cambodian. Henceforth, only study log entries and no more narrative comment from me here until the end of May 2028, at which time I (a new, improved, multi-lingual and considerably more smug I) will come back to gloat and etc. Best wishes to everyone in their own mad TACs and learning language goals. Spanky Edit: After a night's reflection, I have changed my mind - two separate logs seems a little excessive, so I'll discontinue this one and diarize it for 2028 just to see how things have turned out." Edited by Spanky on 29 January 2009 at 9:22am Spanky, you don't bend TAC, TAC bends you. random member we should all poke fun at: krog "eeee" "100 Bücher" e= a book in English d = a book in German. qrwn's language trip sailed away? No, it moved to his personal blog! So has reineke's. And here are some of his resolutions: 1 Sleep more 2 sleep less but use the time wisely 3 try to relax; if unsuccessful, see no.4 4 try not to burst a vessel 5 stop posting Edit: I managed to write my 500th post. Posts 470-500 were reserved for the TAC. SOMEONE HELP ME, PLEASE!! Aaaahh! Edit edit: buy more Visine 01 January 2009 I will periodically provide updates on my blog (link on the left side). Or not, lol. I will stop posting here. If I missed you, or if you wish to expiate your sins you may post here. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been traveling rather than running serious experiments. Things are progressing despite that and my lack of updates, though.

Hello Volte
Great to hear from you! Glad to hear that "things are progressing." Now I'm curious, of course. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Whoohooo I made the cut. Unlike some other pathetic #learnanylanguage members. Still the hard inner core all made it through, and will sail on to the end.

... and running alongside the track without taking part in the competition I would like to point out that I have had great fun maintaining my multiconfused log, - and I have also learnt a few things and got a lot of writing experience. Better doing that than participating and then coming to a standstill after a month or two...

Like some people. I won't name names, that's already been done. The shame and public humiliation should teach people the meaning of 'sticktoitness' 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
