Thank you for the endorsement, but I’d really really really prefer not to captain the team next year.
Doesn’t anybody want to step up? Newbies aren’t allowed to start a team and the general consensus is that it’s better to have TAC veterans as team leaders. Isn’t there anyone who’s already survived a TAC, whether in team Asgard or in some other team, wishing to captain next year’s Scandinavian Team?

Tack så mycket!
Nice to see you here again!
You’re not alone in realizing that 2014 didn’t turn out as productive as hoped for, but I’m sure we can do better next year! Have you already signed-up in the wikia and the TAC 2015 Official Thread or, like me, are you still considering your options for the future? Anyway, I hope we’ll still share the journey!

December Challenge
As posted on my log:
A new year is about to commence and it's time to draw conclusions on my overall progress and to plan my goals for the future.
First of all, what a year this was. I have started a new chapter in my life and it is amazing to see how positevely language-learning is changing it, enriching it and shaping me as time flows by. Of course, countless
of difficulties and problems
were encountered on the way, always trying to bring me down, but the motivation and help offered by the members of this forum kept me going, so thank you all and especially the Asgård members and its leader for helping
me through this journey.
Swedish: This is how I started and what goals I set for myself last year: "I'm starting from scratch and I aim to reach a solid A2 by the end of 2014." If you've followed my log long enough, you'll know how much my
love for this language
has increased over the year. It's actually been a real surprise for me too. I've started learning it because "I liked how it sounded", which may seem like a silly reason to get one to go through such pain and effort,
but as I've been learning
the language I of course got to discover its culture, and I've found myself to be drawn by anything Swedish: from its amazing literature to its architecture, from its politics to its history. This of course is a
vicious cicle which made me make
enormous progress in learning the language. So yeah, I am happy to say that I have reached my goal and maybe crossed a bit beyond. I am definitely seeing myself getting my hands much deeper into this fascinating world.
Jag vill önska er allihopa ett gott nytt år!

A couple of days ago, I contacted all the original team members we haven’t heard from in a long time, inviting them to get in touch and update us on their TAC’14. So far, it doesn’t look like my appeal was successful but I’m still hoping we’ll get to hear from at least some of them.
---
Finally:
Is there really no one who’s willing to become the team leader for next year? There are several veterans on the team who are possible candidates. Could we at least discuss a turnover?
We have only a couple of days left to find a captain and I think it would be a pity if Team Scandinavian started 2015 without a team leader and a team thread.
Please, everyone, let your voice be heard!

I am not sure I would make the ideal team leader, but I am stepping in. I have been learning too individually
this year and it is about time doing something to account for all the dedication and attention from the team
leader and the other members. I only ask you guys to be around and help me keep things on track if I
become forgetful, because time still isn't an issue for me. I also need to get used to editing those posts and
adding all links, but it is rather an issue of having enough practice. So, if it is ok with you guys, I volunteer.

@Expugnator
Thank you!
Ask if you need help. As far as editing and adding links, if I could do it, anyone can.
I was a total technoob before I joined HTLAL, and I still am. Still I managed to learn the basic editing on this forum and I'm sure you will too.

That's great to hear, Expug.
For those of us who learn Danish, New Year will start with a bang: Arvingerne season 2 is
due on January 1st. And from today the full season 2 of Bankerot is online. You can still
watch season 1 of those if you missed it. (everything on dr.dk)
Even though it's intended for children, Tidsrejsen was great too, so consider watching that
(possible until mid-January I think).
I'll be away without internet access these next few days, I hope I can have a proper start
into TAC 2015 after that. So long...

Hello there! I've joined the TAC for Norwegian, and language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35836&PN=0&TPN=5">her eis the link to my log. I'm not a
true beginner in Norwegian, as I have already attempted Assimil Norwegian twice, to abandon at lesson 51
and lesson 28 the second time around. So I guess I'm a low A2 or something. My goal is to finish Assimil at
least and try to read a novel in Norwegian. Jeg er så glad å laere norsk neste år!
I've had a look at this year's thread and I'm thrilled at the idea of joining such an interesting team!
