Sin embargo, la sinestesia con la que el libro juega no es más que una falacia de magnitudes gargantuescas. En una experimentación que podria ser tachada de dadaista, y con claros trazos de faubismo, el contenido tiene un talante nostálgico que nos consigue embaucar en los primeros insantes pero que rapidamente se desvaneze por culpa de una prosa espesa y sin paralelismo alguno.stienman said:
You win, I ran out of languages I can write in (I could read german, latin... but write? no way jose).

I LOVE Dracula. I've read that book minimum of 10 times in my life.
What I love most about it is how it is told via newspaper clippings, diary entries, and phonograph recordings.
I always thought it would be awsome if someone were to actually replicate all these things and put them together in a package with CDs for the phonograph recordings and an actual handwritten diary, etc...

I really hate when hearing ASL 1 students behave like that.
Didn't you learn any extra languages as youngling? I remember learning basic swearwords for english back in elementary (before I went full throttle into the internet and basically learny all of them, and then some more). It was fun to say them, just for the heck of it. I don't understand the rage.ZenMonkey said:

So we have an idea of free books that people might have interest in. At this point I suggest an idea of the format in which we do this, the time span, et cetera. Then we can poll on the top options so that we know what's really the most popular choice.

Saya ini tak faham apa yang orang-orang ini sedang bercakap, aya rasa ialah lebih baik cakap di dalam bahasa portugis, sebab ada lebih penguna foum ini yang bercakap bahasa ini... então, há alguem aqui que fala português alem do nosso querido Green Lantern?
I can kind of understand half of what people write in it thanks to its likeness to spanish, but that's about it.JCM said:

Spanish and Italian I can see, but French?
Why not? I can read french text as long as it's not using overtly complicate vocabulary and get most of it. Very similar to catalan too.Twitch said:
Srsly, it rocks to have proficiency with a romanic language, you get bonuses for checks on all the other ones in the family :3

I understand that but the differences between French and Italian/Spanish are much clearer. You can find the similarities and understand a surprising amount (I was a Spanish student, my friends all spoke French) but it's easy to tell them apart.Denbrought said:

The best thing and also the most frustating while learning Spanish was knowing Portuguese beforehand, because while there are many similarities to help you get understood, at the same time there are endless differences and words that seem the same, but mean different things.Twitch said:
I had the same problems with Indonesian after learning Malay, and it seems to be what´s bothering my mother, who keeps getting English grammar mixed with English.
Sorry, kind of lost you there, what do you mean?JCM said:

I was talking about when i try to speak them... mostly because i learned french in school, and the other two i picked up from TV... otherwise i'd would probably just be italian and spanish that my brain would confuse... coz i never really liked french as a language (had a cool teacher between 2-4 grade, but after between the 5th and 12th grade i forgot most of it even if it was in the curriculum).
Oh, and i vote Dracula, coz i really need some incentive to finish it right now...

It's true; knowing French I'm able to read Spanish pretty well. And when I was in Italy, until I learned enough Italian I spoke French with some shopkeepers and they spoke Italian back and we understood each other.

It looks like there is a leader right now, and it's a pretty easy book to get through. I'm still hoping someone else is interested in actually leading this thing. I've never actually led before so I'd prefer it be someone with experience since it'll be a thing getting these people organized.
