I would like to propose a team for East and Southeast Asian languages - especially
non- CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean). Examples: Thai, Lao, Khmer, Vietnamese, Burmese, Tagalog, Malay/Indonesian, etc. Edited by doubleUelle on 19 December 2013 at 6:29am 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I would join this team. I think the problem is less finding team members (although I may be wrong there! Who knows!), and more finding a team leader - the same problem for rare languages. If someone will start up the team, you can count me as the first member! edited to add: I'm only starting Tagalog in May, though, so I'll only be an observer until then.

A tentative thread has been started: http://how-to-learn-any- language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37560&PN=2 Is there some kind of formal procedure for choosing a TAC team leader? I'd be happy to be the leader but some people in the thread have expressed concern over the fact that I'm relatively new on these forums.

My languages, levels and aims-
CZECH – Current C1 – Target C2 HUNGARIAN – Current A2/B1 – Target B1 SPANISH – Current B2 – Target C1 UKRAINIAN – Current Nothing – Target A2 TOKI PONA – Current A2 – Target Improvement of some sort POLISH – Current A1 – Target Improvement of some sort SLOVAK – Current A2 – Target Improvement of some sort One of my teams will definitely be the Ukrainian team and maybe the Czechoslovak team if it continues. Other than I'm not sure if I want to join more than 2 teams, so it depends on if the Czechoslovak team finishes. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll try to clarify, knowing in advance that I'll risk being misquoted somewhere down the line. There's likely to be someone in 2020 saying "hey, this guy Luso stated that...". So, here goes: 1. In the third post of this thread, Serpent included a link to the original TAC (in 2007). 2. The spirit remains the same, but by now there's a lot more people joining the challenge, some of which having started posting for that purpose alone. 3. To accomodate new trends, every year features are added, so there is no set of TAC rules carved in stone. 4. Due to technical aspects, the initiator of a thread has some powers that cannot be transmitted, as far as I know. That means that if I start a team thread, I must reserve two or three extra slots (for links, resources, group activities, etc.), to which only I will have access. Should I leave the forum, the thread may become a bit of a mess, as things don't get updated properly. 5. To give you an example, there was a person that joined this forum in December 2012, was allowed to start a team thread and left the forum shortly thereafter. It took a while to sort things out and set up a new thread. In the meanwhile, some people joined other groups and probably others left. 6. Of course anyone can (willingly or not) leave the forum at any moment. Things happen. But that's less likely to happen if someone has been around for five years, posted, say, 1000 times, those posts having been rated as useful 800 times. 7. No one is assuming this (I'm referring to the example in point #5) is going to happen again, but the attrition rate for newcomers is higher than that of senior members (pardon me for stating the obvious). Therefore, measures have been taken to minimise the risks and to protect the participants, especially the newbies. I hope to have shed a bit of light on the subject. Feel free to correct me if there's something wrong (blatantly or not). Edited by Luso on 20 December 2013 at 3:35pm 7 persons have voted this message useful |
