Those are perfect books to read during autumn. Just a bunch of wholesome relationships and very cute dragons.
'Mid' autumn festival? I find it quite based actually.
based on what?
Going to start Spanish again I think! It’s so fun and there’s so much fun media for it. Will probably drop Korean for it tbh. I just can’t handle both JPN and KOR at the same time sheesh.
Hariko (washi papier mache) dogs. I think these are pretty cute.
Sweden saying they'll vote against allowing the use of Catalan, Basque and Galician in the European Union Parliament because "there's lots of minority languages and we can't allow them all" is so funny because CATALAN HAS MORE SPEAKERS THAN SWEDISH
Catalan is the 13th most spoken language in the EU. It has more than 10 million speakers, which means it has more speakers than other languages that are already official EU languages like Maltese (530,000), Estonian (1.2 million), Latvian (1.5 million), Irish (1.6 million), Slovene (2.5 million), Lithuanian (3 million), Slovak (5 million), Finnish (5.8 million), Danish (6 million), Swedish (10 million), and Bulgarian (10 million).
Neither Galician (3 million) nor Basque (750,000) would still be the least spoken languages to be allowed in the EU representative bodies.
But even if any of them did, so what? Why do speakers of smaller languages deserve less rights than those of bigger languages? How are we supposed to feel represented by the EU Parliament when our representatives aren't even allowed to speak our language, but the dominant groups can speak theirs?
It all comes down to the hatred of language/cultural diversity and the belief that it's an inconvenience, that only the languages of independent countries have any kind of value while the rest should be killed off. After all, isn't that what Sweden has been trying to do to the indigenous Sami people for centuries?

libby app guide
aka how to support libraries and get books and audiobooks for free without pirating them.
disclaimer: this is so easy. it is also really fun.
one: download the libby app. you'll open it and it'll ask you to add a library.
two: get a library card. don't have one? good news, it's really easy and i am saying this as the laziest person on earth. it varies what you need to have to get a card library to library but almost all libraries will let you get one online. i have a card for my home town and for the town i moved to. sometimes you only need an email address, sometimes you need an area code. to get mine it took me about 5 minutes of lying on the couch aimlessly tapping on my phone. follow your heart. you can get cards for places you don't currently live. i will leave the ethics of that up to you but it's probably better than pirating and either way you're creating traffic for libraries which is what they need to exist.
three: add your card. you can add multiple cards for multiple libraries. you need the number. i have never had libby fail to recognize a valid account.
four: search for your book! some will be ready to borrow right away. others have an estimated delivery time. libby will always pick the one that's the fastest from the options available at all the libraries you have cards at. you can borrow audiobooks and ebooks. libby will send you a notification when you're book is ready to borrow. in my experience it's a lot faster than the estimate. if you aren't ready to read it, you can ask to be skipped over in line so you keep your place at the front but let someone else read it first.
five: read it!!! kindle is the most common way to do this. you can go to your loan and click read with kindle. it'll download it to all your devices where you have kindle. as long as you have the loan, it'll act like your book. when the loan ends, if the device is connected to the internet, it'll automatically be returned. it will save all your notes and highlights. (if you disconnect your device from the internet, it won't return the book. weewoo.)
anyway in case anyone else has been wondering about it, i really love it. is a nice surprise to see what i'm going to get and it's cut my reading costs down big time! it's also neat because i get to synch my books between devices unlike downloading books through cough cough other means. good luck!
Reblogging again to say that you do not need Kindle, the app or the device, to read ebooks on Libby!! You can read any book you borrow WITHIN the Libby app, and you can change the font and dark/light mode for accessibility too.
please be aware the libby app does NOT let you read or listen offline so the app itself is unusable for me for actual reading unfortunately! you guys who have access to the internet steadily can use it but be aware. you can't use it on a plane, for example, but if you download to kindle you can.
You should actually be able to use libby app offline (for those allergic to kindle like I am lmao). You just have to change your download permissions in settings. The web browser version of libby is online only though.
Go to Settings > Change Download Rules > toggle to “Everything” (and recommended to “Download only on Wi-fi” if you are worried about your data)
Then Settings > Read Books With… > Libby, so that it downloads to the correct app. You should be able to change your preferences on the main page by clicking the cloud icon to see where you’ve downloaded it too.
Libby also has a feature called Notify Me--if you search for a book and Libby can find it in their database but it's not available to borrow from your library, hit Notify Me. Not only will you be notified if the book becomes available, but your library will be notified that there is A Reader who is looking for this book, so that they can buy it if that's possible for them--without you having to make a direct request!
You can also change your preferences so you only see results in the medium you want so you only see audiobooks if that is what you use Libby for (like me) or to exclude audio if you only want eBooks
audiobooks are SO expensive, and i listen to them almost every night. libby has saved me thousands of dollars by now, no joke. support your local library. if you’re not american, you can still try to apply for a library card at the brooklyn library!
The best filter on Libby is actually the “available now” one. So if you have a longer wait than expected, but you’re somewhere that has internet, you can get a book to read (or listen to) RIGHT THEN. That has saved me a few times.
HelloTalk is so terrible now. There’s too many people on there and it just feels like a dating app. I get basically no corrections anymore. And people don’t even respond to dms. The worst part is the only dms I get is weird guys sending only a sticker or just “hi”
In the Korean language, there are words that are similar in meaning but have slightly differences in usage, and two of those words are “새로운” and “새” both meaning “new.” (1) Firstly, “새” refers to something that is newly introduced or appearing for the first time. It is used to describe something that has not been present before. E.g. “새색시” refers to a new bride who has just appeared in a household “새 친구” refers to a new friend you have just made (2) On the other hand, “새로운” refers to something that already exists but has undergone significant changes or improvements, emphasizing noteworthy transformation. E.g. “새로운 관점” refers different perspective than before “새로운 느낌” refers different feeling than before 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬: - 새 얼굴 vs 새로운 얼굴 (new face) “(모임의) 새 얼굴” means a new member of the group, while “새로운 얼굴” refers to a face that looks different from usual, such as with makeup or plastic surgery. - 새 셔츠 vs 새로운 셔츠 (new shirt) “새 셔츠 ” means a new shirt from the store, while “새로운 셔츠” refers to a shirt that has been reformed to look like a different shirt. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: - If there is a revolutionary change, then “새” is more appropriate. This type of transformation is not regional or insignificant; it is a fundamental and revolutionary change. E.g. the phrase “새 사람” can refer to a person who has undergone a significant change or a rebirth. - Additionally, “새” cannot be used as a predicate, while “새로운” in the form “새롭다” can function as a predicate. E.g. 이 책은 언제 읽어도 새롭다 (This book is always new to me.) - When referring to a new season, such as the new spring or fall, “새 봄” and “새 가을” are used, not “새로운 봄” or “새로운 가을”, because it is a new season different from the previous years. In conclusion, “새” (sae) means something new that has appeared for the first time, while “새로운” (saeroun) means something that has already appeared, but has become better or different, in other words, it implies a noticeable change. #KoreanVocabulary #LearnKorean #한국어공부 #Studywithme

if you’re learning a language you’re either “I have the vocabulary of a pretentious old literature professor but grammar is a sinful mistress who shall never cross the threshold of my house” or you’re “I only know what ‘strawberry’ and ‘to go’ mean but by ye gods I can make them jump through conjugation hoops and declension parcours that would peel the socks off your feet”. no in between
