- take an ebook in your target language that you wanna read - convert epub to txt - copy txt into unique wordlist maker (http://caerphoto.com/uwc/) - remove words in the list you already know - maybe focus on keeping the high frequency new words - make this list into flashcard deck badda bing badda boom

I did this with my Turkish copy of Animal Farm and pulled 212 new words for my Quizlet deck

cool russian resource!

I’m getting into learning Russian again and have been reviewing first year university material, and I just remembered that the book I used for an intensive summer course at a university a couple years ago is free (legally!) online. I’m obviously neither fluent nor a native speaker, so I’m not an expert on Russian learning, but I personally thought the material was very useful! It’s designed to be used online, so it’s easier to navigate than a PDF and there are listening exercises as well. It’s called Mezhdu Nami and you can use this link!

“he owns all things," 

"doesn’t he?” “He’s invented” “all the shapes” “I’m afraid he’s” “invented mine,” “my very own” “body’ ” (“she was hysterical”) “‘Did he invent me?”

History has the cruel reality of a nightmare, and the grandeur of man consists in his making beautiful and lasting works out of the real substance of that nightmare. Or, to put it another way, it consists in transforming the nightmare into vision; in freeing ourselves from the shapeless horror of reality - if only for an instant - by means of creation.

Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950)
