Re:does anyone know any books that are good for teaching italian or spanish???
Hello / Hola
respuesta a tu pregunta: No hay ningun libro bueno para aprender español rápido. Creo que lo mejor es esto que esta planteado en este intercambio de idiomas. Si te gusta español, pon atencion a la letra de las canciones, hay un sitio en la red : tu-refugio.com tiene letra y sonido, si me contactas puedo ayudarte con el signmificado de algunas y puedes mandarme alguna copiada en ingles con la explicacion, no la traduccion de lo que significa.
Las canciones viejas dicen más. En español tienes , por ejemplo a rmando Manzanero, Enrique Iglesias, Alejandro Sanz, Shakira,Jose Feliciano, El trio Los Panchos ( muy viejas) Alejandro Fernandez,
Empieza por alli y veras que no es tan difícil
Saludos y espero que me escribas pronto a traves del B Board preferible seccion Otros . Un abrazo, Mary

Re:Are there any Fantasy Lovers out there??
I've never heard of either of those authors, I'll have to look into them! I really love fantasy, though. Have you ever read 'A Great and Terrible Beauty' by Libba Bray?

Re:Re:Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
Hey, it's me, Sinead!
I just needed to tell you that if you're going to reply you need to click on my title 'Any George Orwell fans out there?' and click on reply. Because if I hadn't clicked 'Bookworms' message board I wouldn't have found your note!
Hope to hear from you!

Re:Re:Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
Hey Lissa!
'1984' is a wierd book but it's also true isn't it? Like the parts where Orwell describes how the cameras are everywhere, 'Big Brother is watching you!' That's happening now. There are all these security cameras all over the place. We've even got one on the end of our road on a tall black pole. Hey, have you ever read 'coming up for air' or 'Down and out in London and Paris'? Brilliant books, very capivating! Orwell was a very clever man.
I really love 'A tale of two cities' by Dickens and 'IT' and also 'Everything's Eventual' by Stephen King, and 'Mort' by Terry Pratchett. They're so good because they make you feel so strongly for their characters. Unlike most of the trash that's put on the shelves today with their 2-D 'characters'!
I'm very happy to have finally met someone who shares my appreciation of books. I hope we can keep in contact.
Bye!
Sinead

Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
I love to read; it is fantastic! Books are like passports to other countries, worlds and times, whisking you away from the monotany of the real world and taking you to better places and people! I think we'd all be lost if we didn't have books to read.
My dream is to become an author if I can't be teacher and write contreversial original novels that will make people think: like Orwells' "1984", a fantastic book! Do you like it?
Write back

Please help!!!!
I'm trying to learn Modern Greek and have many questions. My first is how do you do the subjunctive (na) or do "kai" when na doesn't mean to or must and when "kai" doesn't mean "and" or "even"?
Examples:
Ma eida kai stin Atheena
Oso kai na thelo
alla kai
einai ki'aftos enas eirmos
Ee mikhanee sto seemeio na ksekineesei.
Also what does Ki'an mean if not "and if"?
Thanks,
Renee

Re:Interested in Greek Literature?
Hi Ana
I'm Eugenia and I'm Greek..
Well from poetry I would suggest: Odisseas Elitis, Nikos Kavadias, (my favourite one) Kariotakis,Eggonopoulos, Kiki Dimoula (modern poet).
From authors: Nikos Kazantzakis & Dido Sotiriou. One of my favourite books is Elia Kazan's "Pera ap'to Aigaio" (it is also translated in numerous languages but I don't know the english title).
If philosophy, politics, theater, sociology, psychology interest you, I would definately suggest ancient Greek writers such as Aristotle, Aristofanis, Platonas etc.
Hope I've helped you...
Kisses
