How well do you know the grammar of your native language? There are no requirements, no worries :) If needed, Team ONE can also count on me to explain the various rules and grammar peculiarities :))) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, you can go ahead and count me among those who have expressed interest. At this point I'm committed to doing at least some work with German, Dutch and French. I certainly expect to do something with other languages too over the course of the year, but there aren't any others I'm willing to say I'll be looking at all year. As for current levels, they're extremely unbalanced because of my input-heavy / little- or-no speaking situation. I'll maybe discuss more in my log after the new year, but for now, I'll just give rough minimum estimates for both receptive and productive skills. Receptive: German - C1 Dutch - B2 French - B1 (B2 reading) Productive: German - B2 Dutch - A2 French - A2 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yay Geoffw! And we'll have Dutch and French in common this year, that'll be fun. :-) No worries about unbalanced passive-active skills, I think that anybody who's working with the language should be welcome. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No worries, it was the same for me when I heard of TAC 2 years ago. It's basically just a challenge to keep studying your target language throughout the year and write a log in this section of the forum about it. Apart from that, most people set a specific goal for themselves (be able to have a basic conversation, or often reaching a certain CEFR level). Then we all form teams for people with the same or similar languages and try to motivate each other throughout the year. Some teams set small challenges for all their members, some occasionally have Skype meetings, but this is up to each team to decide and organise. At the end of the year we have an informal vote which team we were most impressed with, but basically everyone who perseveres throughout the year is a winner. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm soldiering on with *jäŋe/*ledús (at least 1 Balto-Slavonic or Uralic language) and subject to enough interest am OK with retaining Kofola (at least one of Czech or Slovak) and Yürükler (Turkish) for another year. Because I also expect to continue working on Polish, I see no reason to cut myself off from Żubr either.
I would however be interested in teams for each of Finnish and Ukrainian only on the model of the emerging Dutch team or current Мир for Russian, but *jäŋe/*ledús could serve that purpose anyway if there isn't enough interest to form these specialized teams. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

surely benefit from your experience. :-) So, another update on those who have expressed interest in Team Dutch: NMW, Serpent, fabriciocarraro, geoffw, jeff_lindqvist, myself Guardian angel: Tarvos Seems like enough for a team to me, especially if any of the people I've PMed get back to me as well. Thoughts on a team name? Edited by Hekje on 05 December 2013 at 5:53pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
