We need to talk about LingoHut

I’m supposed to be studying some Italian, but instead, I was googling in my computer how to learn a new language (no, googling how to learn will not teach you shit, you have to sit down and learn your target language not how to do it, I know but I’m lazy.) and I came across LingoHut, and I have to share it.

I don’t know if someone ever talked about this page, but if they did is worth mentioning again.

So basically you go to the website and in the Home Page you have to choose what is your first language and what language are you trying to learn.

Once you choose it’ll take you to another page in which you have tons of lessons, for ex. In Italian, there are 109 lessons.

I haven’t checked every lesson yet but for example, the first one is greetings and such. You click that lesson and you have 16 flashcards that will show you the word in your target language and the translation, at the same time that someone pronounces the words.

Below the flashcards, you have this  ⬇️

And basically is a bunch of game, an easy matching words kind of game, some kind of tic tac toe with words, a memory game do you know the one that kids play in which they have to find the matching pictures? Same but with words and lastly a listening and matching game.

Below the bar of the games, we have the vocabulary list of the words we are taught in that lesson, and you can click the word and listen the pronunciation.

In the end, you have a bunch of the next lessons.

The lessons vary from the content it can be greetings, numbers, health stuff, office words, computer terminology, etc.

The website doesn’t have every language in the world, but it has a lot of them. choose your target language, in my case Italian, and enjoy, is fun and simple if you want to practice or do something related to your target language but you don’t have the willingness that day to study something more consistent like structure.

And the best part is that as far as I went looking around in this page it’s fucking free. Sure, you won’t end the one hundred and something lessons speaking like a native from whatever target language you’re learning, but it can be useful to expand your vocabulary.

皆さんのためにプレイリストを作りました！これは私の好きな日本の音楽です~ 13時間ぐらいです。聞いてくださいね~♡

Giorgio Dante, born in 1982, is an Italian figurative painter who currently lives and works in Rome, Italy.

I would like to point out a couple of things:

- the gang in the secret history (except Richard) are from very privileged backgrounds but the only one being flashy about it and making fun of people who don't wear designer ties and stuff is Bunny who has no money and whose own stuff isn't what he says it is (e.g. the print from the library book) and whose one good jacket at the start of the book has a stained and ripped lining

- the only one of the tsh gang to graduate is Richard

- Theo in the goldfinch has expensive tastes and was by no means poor but growing up with his mum he wasn't exactly wealthy either (searching the apartment for cash to pay the delivery guy) and in California he mostly stole food all the time or ate leftovers from Xandra's work so yeah his dad owned a flashy car and sometimes took them out to restaurants and he lived with the Barbours for a bit and turned out to be a good businessman but idk as a kid he wore t-shirts and hung out at the playground and watched tv and all that

- Theo has the capacity to have good grades but doesn't actually enjoy studying all that much (except art) and lets his grades drop most of the time

I guess the point I'm making is that there is significant overlap between the Tartt fandom and the dark academia aesthetic and people love to criticise DA for being all about money and good grades but Tartt isn't actually and there's no real reason for DA to be

i've never related to a meme so much in my life

German books

German is my native language and I wanted to make a short list with books I enjoyed. Of course, “important”/classic or your favorite ones might be missing because I haven’t read everything and I only wanna recommend books I have read and liked. Reading is important when you learn a language, so this list might help you! Most of the books are rather “modern” ones, so if you don’t like reading older books, this list is perfect for you!
