Welcome to Litsy!

For what this is (an A2-B1 graded reader for Spanish language learners), I found it consistently at the advertised level and written well enough that I wanted to keep reading. It's a single story of a mysterious theft told through 101 short chapters consisting of a contextual blurb followed by a conversation. Available on #Hoopla. #Spanish #gradedreader #languagelearning

Had bit of a Korean learning block the last few weeks plus I've been to Disneyland Paris.
But there's nothing like a Korean book hual to get the motivation going again!
The BTS box has 4 books and an electric pen that speaks when you put it on a word.
Magic!

Quite an interesting study of what it means to be able to learn a lot of languages, or hyperpolyglottism. It took awhile for me to read though and I skimmed parts. It is a little frustrating because it lacks solid conclusions to be made. Partly it is a gift and partly just hard work? See the reviews at Amazon for more.

Going back to nonfiction. I‘m into languages somewhat. Will try this one.

I was expecting this to be a bit dry but it was surprisingly funny and engaging. I will need a physical copy at some point because I can see myself reading it over and over everytime I start to learn a new language (I'm a wannabe polyglot) but listening to it did have some advantages because he gives very specific pronunciation examples. Chock full of resources and language learning advice as well as his own experience and specific study methods.

Happy Jólabókaflód part 2!

Here‘re the family‘s treats…

Bugga is really excited about all holidays and we found some extra books to help him (and us all) with understanding ☺️

LeCarre for husband, bada$$ for little sister, Harvest for big sister, and Episode 13 for me.

Also, yes, chocolate abounds. ☺️

I recently ordered these Greek comics from the artist Smar‘s Etsy shop in the hopes that I can read them in Greek in the next few months/years. I‘m tip-toeing through them, recognizing little words or phrases here and there. It‘s like magic when I spot something I understand. I figure comics will be a good way to practice reading and even speaking because they‘re dialogue-centric. Plus, the art is very fun!
