7. Shiritori Online

Shiritori (しりとり) is a popular japanese word game and is ideal to exercise vocabulary for japanese learners. 2 or more players take turns saying a word that starts with the last kana of the previous word. The game ends when someone answers with a word ending with -n (ん) because there are no words starting with ん.

it is up to the players whether all forms of a hiragana (kana and its diacritics; は,ば and ぱ etc.) are allowed or not (e.g やぎ -> きよう).

example: りんご (apple) -> ごりら (ゴリラ) (gorilla) -> らーめん (ラーメン) (ramen). The last person who said ramen loses because the word ends with -n (ん). Instead the person could have saidらま (ラマ) (llama) (e.g).

Lost and Found Library

Hey Tumblr, decided to share a fun google drive I have with you all. I came across a thumb drive full of ebooks maybe two years ago at college? And before turning it in, I converted all the files to a personal google drive. 

Let me know if this link still works, but have at it. I love the variety the OG owner accumulated in their library.

Do you like reading books? Can you suggest books that are easy to read in Spanish for beginners, or some movies?

Hi, of course! I hope some of these recommendations are helpful!

Books:

• Spanish Short Stories For Beginners by Lingo Mastery

• Short Stories In Spanish For Beginners & Spanish Short Stories For Beginners 2 by Olly Richards

• Easy Spanish Reader by William T. Tardy. This book is separated into three sections and the readings in each are followed by comprehension activities.

*All three of the previously mentioned books can be downloaded for free on https://z-lib.org

• This organization’s website has a few great picture books in Spanish that you can download for free. https://www.heifer.org/what-you-can-do/get-involved/schools/home-school-activities/books-and-reading-resources.html

• This website has a handful of great pdfs https://www.spanishplayground.net/spanish-books-for-beginners/

Movies:

• El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) This is available on Netflix and I’d suggest watching movies with subtitles. If you’re able to, there’s a chrome extension you can download called Language Learning with Nextflix where you can have subtitles in both your native & target language

• I also suggest watching any movie you’re familiar with like if you love Disney movies you should find the Spanish version of them

Sorry I don’t have any true movie recs yet! If anyone has any other resources they know of, feel free to add them :)

Would anyone be willing to provide a comprehensive list of every day bills? Trying to budget at least theoretically before I leave home but I’m dumb and don’t want to be blind sided
