Hi, Josquin! I am happy that we are up and going, and hope that the rest will soon find their way here too. I did not know we were that many members in our team. I hope you all post here as soon as possible, so that we can see how many are with us. :D

It's в команду if you welcome only teammates, or в гости к команде/на ветку команды/в тему команды if you welcome everyone who happens to read :) 8-)

Good luck, everyone!!!

Спасибо, Serpent! I think I was literally translating from German, so good to know the correct phrasing. 8-)

Welcome, Cristina! Good to see you here. I've already seen Expugnator, Nieng Zhonghan, tristano, and YnEoS on the forum, so let's hope the others make it here, too.

Hi, all! I'm still alive and finally broke down and signed up for NTRHTLAL. I took about a 3 month break from Russian but got sucked back in. Current "goals" are to finally finish Assimil Russian active wave (~15 lessons left) and Гарри Поттер и Орден Феникса (~100 pages left). I guess I should consider restarting a log here if this is where the action will be. In that case, с новым логом!

I feel somehow I should be part of Team Pushkin, but what does that mean/entail?

Are you familiar with the concept of the TAC ("Total Annihilation Challenge")? Basically, it means commiting to a language for an entire year and writing a log about your studies. The purpose of the teams is supporting other students with the same TL as you. We used to do monthly challenges back on HTLAL.com, but since the crash this has stopped.

I'm not familiar with TAC. Although I will certainly be studying Russian for the next year (and beyond). Plus I've already started a log here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=833
