I was feeling lonely in the Korean team so I moved my name to the East Asian team.

Okay, everybody is joining the East Asian Team and there are no sign-ups for the single languages any more, so I removed the options Chinese, Japanese, and Korean from the Wikia. If the East Asian Team should get way too big, we can split it up later, but generally we're trying not to split up teams this year. @TimmyTurner93: As you seemed to agree with it, I moved you to the East Asian Team as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Thanks! I'm going to follow your Hawaiian log with interest! One day I thought of learning Maori but I didn't find the grammar itself that much interesting, so maybe I will learn a bit more about Hawaiian and improve my opinion.
I honestly believe Indonesian and Japanese in the same team would be a stretch. The learning strategies and the culture for the CJK seem to have a lot in common (even the technical issues from writing the language to searching for resources), while Indonesian is a whole different game. Just my thought, I'd gladly have you as a teammate either ways, in one single team or in two of them. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

A question about team Rare...
Last year I didn't feel that I should join that team, because my language isn't at all rare. There are already 350000+* Tagalog-speakers in Canada alone, based on an old census - and that's surely too low, since Filipinos represent one of the biggest proportions of new immigrants to Canada right now. Worldwide, Tagalog is the first language of over 28 million* people, and there are many more Filipinos who speak it as a second language. *all numbers are based on rigorous research on wikipedia, and may therefore be absolutely useless I guess I thought rare meant fewer speakers. But if rare actually means fewer people learning a language (particularly here on HTLAL), then I'd be honoured to be invited to team Rare! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ah ah ah
Yes, that's what it means. Some languages with lots of speakers are not popular in this forum, whereas some with few are very in demand, year after year. Edit: Serpent, I just noticed you'll be studying Karelian. I'd love to have you in Team Rare, but wouldn't you be better off with the other Finno-Ugric languages? Unless you reeeally want to join us... ;) Edited by Luso on 16 December 2014 at 12:54am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Frankly, I've been really bad at both writing and reading logs. I've been reading team logs on occasions where I've noticed them popping up on the recent threads page. However, I am learning Spanish right now, and it actually does involve som real studying, instead of just reading Kindle books, watching native Youtube videos and going to classes... Well, I'll consider it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I thought about it some more and I'm in. I've signed up for the East Asian team. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
