Reading books in your target language is a great way to improve your language skills.
Do you keep a common place book? Common place books are where you record and store quotes, lines, and media from the outside world (books, movies, posters, etc) and write them down with a short note or thought about them. Common place books are not about our thoughts or notes (they are not journals), but about the media and information itself. Others' brilliant minds. My favorites are from the book Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu translated by John H. McDonald. "Nature uses few words. When the gale blows, it will not last long; when it rains hard, it lasts but a little while; what causes these things to happen? Heaven and Earth. Why do we humans go on endlessly about little, when nature does so much in so little time?" Note: Our behaviors are self defeating. ⭐ Recently I have read "We" by Yevengy Zamyatin, a dystopian fictional classic written in 1920 during the Russian Civil War but published in English 4 years later. My first recording: "Whenever you tell a story to children, even at the very end, they will always still want to know: what happens next?" Note: Happiness isn't the final destination. The natural universe has no finality. A revolution is not finality, but it is necessary. I can't wait to add in lines from the current book I'm reading "The Right to Oblivion" by Lowry Pressly.

I'm excited to share a new type of Spanish lesson that I've been working on!! 😃 Over the past months, I've spent a lot of time reading books about personal finance, investing, mindset, and self-improvement. These ideas have had a real impact on my life, and I'm happy to share that journey with my students. So I thought: why not combine both goals? 🎯 In these lessons, we'll read and discuss one bestselling book together in Spanish. You'll improve your reading, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension while exploring topics like financial education, personal growth, and critical thinking—all through real conversations with a native speaker. If you're looking for a more engaging way to improve your Spanish than a traditional textbook 🎓, this might be for you. I also have extra availability during July and August, so it's a great time to start a new learning project. 📚 Learn Spanish | 💰 Learn finance | 🗣️ Speak with a native | 🚀 Grow every week

本の日記 最近は日本の小説にハマっています。 私にとって読み書き能力は常に重要だので、もっと本を読みたいんです。村上春樹の「夜中の汽笛について、あるいは物語の効用について」は初めての小説を読んでいました。今は村田沙耶香の「コンビニ人間」を読んでいます。たくさん知らなかった言葉があるなのに少しだけ読めるのは楽しいと思います。 このリスト順不同で作りました: -村田沙耶香の「コンビニ人間」(読み中) -村田沙耶香の「地球星人」(買った) -村上春樹さんの「象の消滅」 -王谷晶の「ババヤガの夜」(買った) -松田青子の「女が死ぬ」 - 小川糸の「小鳥とリムジン」 - 小川糸の「椿ノ恋文」 - 川上未映子の「乳と卵」(買った) - 川上未映子の「夏物語」 - 本谷有希子の「異類婚姻譚」 - 本谷有希子の「嵐のピクニック」 - 原田マハの「独立記念日」 - 吉田篤弘の「おやすみ東京」 - 住野よるの「また、同じ夢を見ていた」　 - 住野よるの「君の膵臓をたべたい」 - 川口俊和さんの「コーヒーが冷めないうちに」 -川代紗生さんの「月がきれいな夜に、誰かに思い出してほしかった」 - 四島祐之介さんの「アナヅラさま」 - 原田宗典さんの「旅の短算、春夏」 - 八木沢里志さんの「森崎書店の日々」 何か加えるべきでしょうか？お勧めがありますか？

Did you know that Ukrainian rusalky were very different from the mermaids we see in modern movies? 🌿 In Ukrainian folklore, rusalky were often believed to be the restless souls of young women whose lives ended too soon, before they had the chance to experience love, marriage, and the future they dreamed of. One detail people would immediately recognize was their long loose hair. Traditionally, unmarried girls wore their hair this way, so it carried a deeper meaning than simple beauty. There was even a belief that when a rusalka sat by the water and slowly combed her wet hair, rain would soon follow. I love how a single folklore image can tell us so much about how people once viewed nature, life, and fate. What is a folklore story from your culture that has a deeper meaning behind it? 🌧️🌿
