I wouldn't mind either, despite my extreme beginner status. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've already posted my TAC2014 log link earlier. I like Iberia as a name, despite it not being limited to Iberian dialects. Challenges would be great! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'd like to join this team with Spanish, currently beginner, aiming for intermediate; my log.
I'm also studying French, German, Japanese, Ukrainian. My priorities for this year are on consistent progress in Spanish, French, and German at the same time. I'm not focusing on active skills at the moment, though I might be more comfortable with that later in the year, if my language skills improve. I'm not planning to update my log a whole lot, maybe weekly progress reports, more if I decide to practice writing. Looking forward to the TAC experience! 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I thought of Team Tordesilhas. It's big, but you don't have to list all of your teams'
names at your log's topic, after all. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I think it's brilliant: it identifies both countries, as well as their former colonial empires and language diaspora. "Legal, cara!" PT-BR "Boa malha!" PT-PT 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Good name, Expugnator! Tordesillas/Tordesilhas divided the Americas between Spain and Portugal and can unite all of us who love the languages that originated in the Iberian peninsula. Still, the name doesn't matter as much as the membership. We've got a good mix of beginners and experienced members. We have two native-speakers of Portuguese who know a thing or three about learning languages. We still need a native Spanish-speaker. If Mr. Warper can't be persuaded to join, perhaps we should reach out to some others. Nicozerpa comes to mind. He's a native Spanish-speaker who has learned Portuguese.
I feel we have a good opportunity with this team to provide some very valuable advice and help to each other. Edited by iguanamon on 23 December 2013 at 4:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Personally I'd prefer a more apolitical name. Thru treaty of Tordesillas was a key point in which the colonial empires of Portugal and Spain were formed, leading to the genocide of indigenous populations, slave trade, etc. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

MrWarper actually said he'd be the godfather for both Spanish teams.
Tordesilhas is a wonderfully huge name :P I admit I know nothing of its political history though :/ 1 person has voted this message useful |
