@Cavesa: Am I in some sort of trouble? My name is still not listed as participant on the first page. Is this a
subtle hint that I have made so much nuisance that I am unwanted :-)


@ Cavesa: I see that the first page of the thread hasn't been updated in four days. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but team threads are popping up like mushrooms. I turn here for guidance and I guess many others too. I can see there are already a few repeated posts, because people sign up and a couple of days later don't find their name in there. It must be especially confusing for newbies.

Would you please update the first page ASAP? Thanks.

I would like to sign up for Mandarin, please.

I only started Mandarin four days ago, but there is a fairly high chance that I'll be living in China from early next year, so I'm attacking it at full speed.

I'll be focusing on Mandarin to the exclusion of all else next year, but I've learnt Japanese to a reasonably high level and have learnt Korean on and off for a few years. If there is some sort of "Asian language team" like in 2013, I would be happy to give help and encouragement to teammates learning those languages.

If you ask me, I'd officially require to appropriately tag the log if "TAC" is to be dropped from the title...

One more important reason is that if you have many tabs open, you'll have no clue which is which.

Spot on. While you can still hover your mouse above the tabs to have the titles pop up, perhaps people who include the letters could do it at the end or in the middle of their titles. Maybe it could even be an official requirement...
That's a great suggestion!
I'm more than willing to go through the threads and tag them with TAC too :)

Guys, please keep this in mind when you rename your team threads to include the title! And this applies to individual logs too.

Hi LangWanderer,

StarcrazyAngel, would you want to be in Team Iberia? it's mostly oriented at intermediate Spanish learners and any level Portuguese learners. no need to be learning both, so it doesn't matter if your plans for Portuguese change.

This is my first TAC, I guess I just post and I am part of it? Here goes:

Russian, between A1 and A2 (total guess), roughly 100 hours practice. I'd like to be confident with the most important grammatical concepts, to improve my listening so that I can recognize faster speech. I'm not so sure, since it's difficult for me to test my level : ) Either way I'm studying 50 hours a month.
