Hello there,
I love learning languages although I'm not that good. The current language that I self taught is Korean language. For me, the best way to learn new languages is by searching for something inspirational about the language that you learn. Like inspirational quotes or music. I found that whenever I try to learn it through music that inspire in terms of its lyrics, the language somehow sink faster than learn from the book. But I did not encourage to only learn language by understanding song lyrics because you got to understand grammar, the alphabet and normal language speaking.
Lyrics can actually improve vocab and particularly inspirational lyrics can help you when you're feeling down and want to give up learning.
See you soon,
For the book review part, I will be giving stars rating and personal comments on the book I've read. I will be really honest with my view and no intention of sugar coating or hurting anyone. I may or may not agree with the popular opinion of some books and please don't take it in a hard way. I'm just a normal person with my own preference but I do broaden my book genres as I love reading new things and discover new world in books.
My favorite genre are contemporary, young adult fiction, fantasy, children and mystery. I do have a little problems in reading classical fiction because 1) I don't understand the writing 2) I don't get the sense of humor/historical background of some books. But I love the movie-tie in of some classical fiction such as Pride &Prejudice and Emma (basically all of Jane Austen's film adaption).
My rating systems:
See you soon,
