Pfft what a joke. I'm signing up for 72 hundred languages per day. Ain't no-one gonna
stop me. Goal for day one of TAC 2015 French B-1 to level Z-7. I shall update all my
pesky followers with my 2nd language goal on day 2, most likely to be a very very hard
language that no one else can even learn one word of. I'll take myself to C2 in like 2
minutes outta sight foolz.

So Yes, 2014 was my 1st experience with doing a TAC. It's refreshing to see that our
team had fallen apart as I really didn't know if the lack of activity was normal for
most teams as I tend to live in a bubble. I didn't want our team to fall apart, but
now I now that level of activity was rather mediocre now I'm looking extra forward to
2015 another year of French only on a new team, and hopefully with some familiar faces
from French 2ème :)

It's inspiring and just plain ******* awesome to see so many ppl loving to learn
languages. It ain't easy unless you're me.

7 balls of massive HATE coming your way! Be sure to smile at them!

signing off,
Prime Minister Peter Mollenburg
loving himself yet again a little too much perhaps? wordz

Edit:
PS - Very important update. I'm considering doing TAC 2016 simultaneously alongside my
2015 TAC. This of course, if I do it honestly, will mean I will have to heavily rely
on the use of my time machine, which we all know, hasn't exactly got a great
reputation. Anywayz, for the 2016 challenge I'll be doing French again and for the
whole year I'd like to focus on one word only: "Bonjour" I'll be repeating this word
for 3 hours a day at my desk and adding it to my flashcard deck every 7.37 minutes
during those 3 hours. Surely this will enable a massive amount of exposure to material
I currently have don't even know exists. Furthermore, this way when I travel back-
forwards linear time to the start of 2016 after having completed TAC 2016 via
intermollecular time travel space speckanisms double-back reverse osmosis enduced
scripto-writo plague syndrome false-apathy overflow I'll feel ready to actually learn
that word all over again. Look out 2017 the French won't know what hit them!

As for Sanskrit, I'd like to have an Indian team (maybe with Dravidian languages too; why not?). However, I don't think it will happen this year. Yet.


My focus for at least the first 3-4 months will be French, but I'd join an Indian languages team as well if one was formed. I'd be in it for Hindi, and I'd keep an eye on what others were doing for Sanskrit (for future reference).

Another two teams can be confirmed: Team French and Team Finno-Ugric/Balto-Slavonic have both reached (more than) five members.

I signed up for Russian and Scandinavian. I'm studying a ton of languages but I've been
doing these for so long that I'm confident of them.

Welcome back to the Russian team, tarvos!

That means we have another two teams confirmed: Team Russian and Team Scandinavian.

Okay, I've added the category "Asian Languages" to the Wikia!

People who are interested in studying more than one Asian language or who would like to join the team anyway can sign up for it now.

We'll have to see if all students of Asian languages will join the team or if there will be seperate teams for single languages as well. This will depend on the number of sign-ups for each team.

Signed up at the wiki for French and Indonesian. French is popular so will take care of
itself but hopefully some
other Indonesian learners come along ...

Hekje and Sprachprofi did Indonesian at Team Rare this year. If they are willing to continue, maybe we can
have an Indonesian team. I'd be the 4th member and only 1 member would be missing to make it a team
then.
