Hello and welcome to the official Sign-Up and Discussion Thread for the Total Annihilation Challenge 2015!
Organizing the TAC has never been a very popular task, but as we’re already halfway through December I thought it was high time and decided to start the infamous thread where all the TAC folly takes place. Fortunately, Serpent was so kind to invent a new and easier way of signing up via the Wikia page, so kudos to her! I think most people know what the TAC is about. The idea is to learn as much as possible in your target language(s) in one year and document your progress in your log. In order to participate, you need to sign up and create your own TAC log. The title of the log may include "TAC 2015", but it has to show the name(s) of the team(s) you are a part of. You are allowed to continue an old log, just change the title by editing the first post of the log and indicate on which page your TAC 2015 starts. After creating your log, please post a link in this thread! In the past, teams have usually been formed according to target language, but there have been some other suggestions as well this year. So, any kind of team is fine as long as you can collect enough members, that means a minimum of five participants. Smaller groups can form a tandem, a trio, or whatever, and last but not least there’s the possibility to do an individual TAC. As soon as a team has been formed, a team captain should be chosen. After that, the captain can start the team thread and post a link to it in this thread. I’ll keep track of all teams and participants in the first posts of this thread. If any of the 2014 teams want to continue as teams in 2015, just let me know. There is no official end date for sign-ups, but I’d prefer that anyone wishing to sign up for a team after the end of January, ask that team. Please notice: The sign-up via the HTLAL Wikia has ended! In order to join a team, please ask their captain in the respective team thread. However, I'd welcome it if you also posted a short notice, including a link to your log, in this thread. In your message, please include the following: - What languages you will be studying in 2015 - Which teams you want to join or if you’re going for an individual TAC - A link to your TAC log (as soon as you have one) Also, comments, ideas, thoughts about new teams or other suggestions for the improvement of the TAC are highly welcome! Let’s get started and have a great time studying languages together! Edit Post Edited by Josquin on 29 January 2015 at 11:39am 14 persons have voted this message useful | |

1) currently not sure about that, let's repeat the current list (German, Swedish, Italian, Greek)
2) I'm in with English (ESL) and German. I also would like to pay more attention to Greek next year, which team will have anything in common with ελληνικά? 3) log ___________ As you probably have seen this year, the great idea (or maybe not so great) of having beginners in one team didn't work out very well, but I hope this is not the end of multilingual teams based not on language families/ their rareness, but on something else. This time I offer to get a team of non-standard methods of learning, including lazy ones. I even have a name for the lazy (La-haziness)! The point is to throw textbooks outta window, ask tutors to forget how to teach and do some crazy (or just not very usual) things. I think even L-R isn't very standard from that POV, if I tell my my mother that it works she won't believe me. I can also lead this team (or any other I participate in, if offered), but it's desirable to see it actually going, and not dissipating by February. What do you think?

Yay!
This year we've experimented with the observer status. Thoughts, opinions? (especially from team leaders) This was meant as something for the learners aiming for passive skills and for those who can't commit to learning a specific language but can commit to reading about it. Observers are/were allowed to participate in challenges, and especially the Scandinavian team did amazingly well to keep the challenges observer-friendly. Via Diva, I assume you don't want to be on a team for Italian? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Is there interest in having an intermediate and advance themes/team/study multi-lingual groups i.e., separate
thread/team/group focused on intermediate issues and advanced issues, regardless of languages? I'm not sure how to proceed on this, whether under TAC or another means, if there is interest. While the TAC sign- up indicates sign-up by level, I'm not a fan of breaking a language team into two or more groups after my experience with my French TAC team last year, which fell apart by March. For discussion purposes, I would like to see an intermediate level and advanced level study groups formed, regardless of language, to focus on common issues at that level. Should this be in or outside of TAC? What is everyone's thoughts? Edited by Mohave on 13 December 2014 at 5:57pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

I don't know how to express this on the wikia, so I'll just post it here. But if there are enough like-minded people, I'd be interested in joining an Asian language team similar to the possible Romance team. But, I don't think I would join multiple teams, or try to pick 1 and guess which language will get the majority of my attention this year.
