I have left a message at the TAC 2012 thread. After all Richard is a TAC member, so it would be great if more of us voted for him.
Oh, and he has passed the Italian girl and is now second, but he still need lots of votes to beat the Turks. Can anyone open a new thread about this, so that more people see it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for all of your support. I appreciate all of the help to round up votes. This has certainly not been an
easy competition to get people to vote in. I understand why too. Were it not for this particular prize, I would not have entered. Speaking at the conference is just too good an opportunity to promote language learning to pass up. There is definitely no pause in the vote count for the others in the competition, including the banana men... ;p Thanks again for your continued push for votes of support for me! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you for your support in the Goethe Institute competition. I am pleased to say that I have been officially
named as Ambassador for Multilingualism to attend the conference in November. :) Here is the link announcing it this morning: http://www.goethe.de/ges/spa/prj/mes/enindex.htm Edited by Torbyrne on 25 July 2012 at 9:07am 5 persons have voted this message useful | |

GREAT! I am so happy for you. Any other result would have been really sad for language learning.
Congratulations!!! How many votes did you and the next two contestants have in the end? Edited by Solfrid Cristin on 25 July 2012 at 8:51am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Congrats!
I'm curious: apart from going to that conference in Italy, what exactly do you have to do as an Ambassador for Multilingualism? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I got 477 votes in the end. The support from all corners of the language community was amazing. I cannot
say thank you enough for that. In terms of what it means to be an Ambassador for Multilingualism. Well, the role has not been defined yet much beyond the conference. However, I see it as an opportunity to really help to promote language learning away from the conference too. I would like to see more done to tackle the decline in Europe of third language acquisition for example. From the statistics on the poliglotti4.eu page I have seen, people seem to be moving towards learning only English in addition to their mother tongue. I do what I can to promote, aid and join up language learners and to also add to the rich community we have online. I see this an a chance to promote that further. :) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
