That's a good question, I wanted to ask about TAGS. That would be great for me since my log will have a bunch of stuff about Turkish and German -- I'm sure anyone reading my log for Japanese might prefer to skip those posts. By the way cathrynm, I see you're already doing the Finnish team. I'm sorry you're not doing Japanese :) I say that out of purely selfish reasons because I get a lot out of your Japanese posts! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Okay, let me say something to rarely-studied (and endangered) languages TAC team idea. It was just an idea. I'm perfectly fine joining - let's say - the Romance team.
I happen to study (due to circumstances) 2 not widely studied languages; Luxembourgish, a minor Germanic one and Kurdish (Kurmanji dialect), an Iranian language as well as I study French. I joined this forum about 5,5 months ago and I'm really enjoying all the support and the ideas I get from here. So if you're interested in talking about your experiences in learning a rarely studied and/or endangered language, let's open a thread, we don't have to make it a TAC team. @Serpent Thanks for your invitation to the Romance/Slavic team, but as I only intend to start studying Russian next year (and I bet my Russian acquaintance from my bookkeeping course will kick my derrière if I don't) - and I know my attacks of wanderlust - I'd rather join a TAC team whose pre-conditions I fulfil. When we're both still here next year, perhaps we can form a TAC team in 2013. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll be joining Tac 2012 , again making Russian my focus language. I will also keep trying to keep up my
Spanish and French, and revive Italian which I have hardly used this year and I will again try to improve my German. I will presumably also give in to wanderlust in any language which catches my fancy. I can be in any team of any language mix, but it would of course be helpful to be in a team with more people studying Russian or with a native speaker of Russian. I am happy to help out in Norwegian and Spanish if anyone is interested. My main wish for team mates regards motivation and input more than specific languages. I get motivated by input, so I'd like to be in a team with a spirit of encouraging eachother. I would however suggest that we make the teams larger this year. 5-8 people. Experience shows that in most cases half of the participants drop out before summer, so with a large group you will hopefully still have 2-3 team mates. Perhaps we should consider half year TACs so that it is easier to keep up motivation? TAC Spring 2012, fall 2012 might do the trick? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Works for me. It seems the Romance Languages team has caught on, and there's possible need for a Russian one as well. @SolfridCristin, would you like to join the Romance/Slavic team or be in another one focused just on Russian? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll be chock-a-block with work and exams up until the end of January, but would definitely be interested in pushing forward with Russian from Februrary 2012, and maybe Irish later on in the year too. A team with fellow Russian mountain climbers would be ideal! :)

@ Magdalene If there is a Russian team I'd love to be in that - particularly if Teango is in it, as he is one
of the most motivating members of this forum! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've enjoyed the yearly TAC so much that I've made all my goals long ones! If we change the TAC then I have to change my plan -- maybe not study so many languages (that's a disappointing thought!) For those people wanting to attain certificates in June or November, the idea of a half-year TAC might be a good idea. I still enjoy the challenge of sticking it out for a whole year. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
