NJABC: Satire

from Not Just Any Book Club · host Justin

This month join Justin, Pierce, Gavin, and guest star Emma, as the group tackles satirical works! Join us as we discuss the poorly aged humor in Gulliver's Travels, the dystopian worlds of We and Atlas Shrugged, as well as book one of a trilogy in six parts. We're a bunch of amateur readers who decided it was time to read again by choosing what we want to read. Every month we vote on a theme and meet up to discuss the books we read without spoiling it. - Follow us on Twitter - Tune in on the last Saturday of each month to hear us talk live on Twitch! - Check out our Goodreads page to see what we're reading! The books: Gulliver's Travels by Johnathan Swift (Gavin's book) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Justin's book) We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (Emma's book) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (Pierce's book)

Each lesson is like going for a coffee (or a fika!) with your friend who happens to speak Swedish and is helping you learn in a relaxed, enjoyable way. Coffee Break Swedish is not a simple series of "listen and repeat" audio programmes: in each lesson Hanna explains how the language works, helping Mark - and you - to manipulate the language and use it in practical situations. As a learner Mark asks questions, and makes mistakes, so through Hanna's explanations, corrections and pronunciation tips you'll build your confidence and begin to understand and speak the language.You'll also build your cultural knowledge with the help of our cultural correspondent Emma who shares information on Swedish culture in many of the lessons.In the same time it takes you to sit down and enjoy a coffee in your favourite coffee shop, you can make progress with your Swedish.
