Welcome to Litsy!

Even though my life is in chaos now due to having to move from a building that caught fire (everyone and all our things are ok) to a new home, I always need some stimulation. Language learning has always done that for me. I heard about this author and this revised book, so in brief snatches of time, I am diving in! So far I am curious and optimistic about his approach. Any other language learners out there and have you heard of this author?

While I continue reading The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (heart wrenching) I'm gonna read the third story in this book.
They're weird and somewhat underwhelming stories, but good for vocab

I‘m catching up on my French. I keep meaning too. Haha! I took it and passed in high school, probably just barely. Mom is going to help some. She‘s good with written French and grammar. It‘s a beautiful language!

Aktuelle Lesung: Short Stories in Germans for Beginners von O. Richards und A. Rowlings ;)

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.
