#litsyenespanol #litsyenfrancais have been used on Litsy...but not much.

#german is pretty popular

#aufDeutsch #litsyaufDeutsch and #litsylovesmanga have not been used.

I want to be Gretchen and try to make some of these "fetch" hashtags happen more. It's probably not gonna happen, but I like Gretchen's spirit and I want to follow in her footsteps. ?

Stay tuned....

ofbooksandme I would si participate in #Litsyenespanol. I definitely should read more in my own language. Also, #litsyenfrancais because that I 100% need to practice. 6y
Sace @ofbooksandme I'm definitely going to try and read a lot more en español just to use the hashtag! I don't know any French, but I included it anyway. I wonder if there is a #litsyenitaliano hashtag? Tagging @La_Cori 6y
LaLecture I read and post in German a lot, I just mostly don‘t have space for hashtags in my reviews 😅. But I‘ll follow the hashtags because I‘m curious what will be posted about them. 6y

Sace @LaLecture exactly! I probably have a little more room for hashtags, I would love to see them used more for other languages especially if the post is in Spanish or German or whatever for even more practice (reading and in my case writing.) 6y
julesG Will try to use the German tags when talking about German books, but I might not post in German very often. 6y
Sace @julesG woot! 6y
La_Cori @RestlessFickleBookHoarder thanks for the tag.. I've found a few italians in here, but I've never seen an hashtag (#litsyinitaliano) 6y
saguarosally I need more #booksenespanol but they aren‘t nearly as abundant as books in English in the US. I used to live near a Spanish language bookstore but not anymore. 6y
Sace @La_Cori I wonder if there are any #littens learning Italian. 6y
Sace @saguarosally I get a lot on my kindle or order on Amazon.es 6y
saguarosally @RestlessFickleBookHoarder That is where I have found some so far. I have a number of Kindle books. 6y
Sace @saguarosally I do find myself preferring Spanish books in paper form though. For a while I liked kindle because I could hold a word and get a definition in Spanish (which I prefer) but for some reason my new kindle just gives the English translation which I'm not crazy about. 6y
mhillis 😍 #frenchlittens has been used a little too! 6y
Sace @mhillis I went and liked a few posts! 😁 6y
Lcsmcat @tournevis 👍🏻 6y
Lcsmcat @saguarosally I order French language books from Powells. I bet they have Spanish too. 6y

We went antiquing today and found this (giant!) tapestry with the entire poem Correspondances from Les Fleurs du Mal embroidered on it. It matches the colors on the Cluny reproduction on our other wall, so I had to bring it home. #Baudelaire #frenchlittens

Redwritinghood 😍😍 6y
SandyW Lovely! What a find! 6y

Wow, I need to organize my book cases more often, found these beautiful treasures among the piles, which I had totally forgotten about!
@JulietteGF I need to start practicing my French! 😊
#Frenchliterature

Lcsmcat Formidable! Some of these are on my list for #FrenchLittens. It‘s a loosely defined group here who are going to try to encourage each other to read more in French. Feel free to join in, or tag me on anything French you read! 6y
Faibka @Lcsmcat great! I would love to join! 😃 6y
Adventures-of-a-French-Reader @Faibka You should come to the French Meetup ;) We meet on Wednesday at 7 pm at Eloise... 6y
Faibka @JulietteGF I would love to, during the work week is a little though because I get off from work late :( 6y

This was a great supplement to my language learning. These simple stories introduce vocabulary and common sayings in an organic way. There are definitions interspersed within the stories and a glossary at the back of the book. The stories themselves are rather simple and uninteresting, but they give a nice sense of accomplishment after reading. #frenchlittens

Chrissyreadit Would this be good for a high school student studying French? 6y
Redwritinghood @Chrissyreadit Yes, I think so. 6y

Hey #frenchlittens! I‘m starting this beginning French short story collection for adults. If you have Amazon Prime these collections are all included, so it‘s a great resource. I was also wondering if anyone has tried newsinslow.com. I know they do a French version, but I haven‘t tried it yet. I heard about it on NPR the other day and am curious.

tournevis 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 6y
Lcsmcat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Who are the authors? I don‘t have Prime, but I might check it out. 6y
Redwritinghood @Lcsmcat I think the noted author (Sylvia Laine) wrote them all. They are just meant to be a learning tool, not really literature. 6y

I came across an article about this book and thought it might be a good choice for #poetrychallenge and #frenchlittens It won several awards in 2017 and is a bilingual edition

tournevis I think the only one I'm in for is #Frenchlittens. If I'm actually registered for it. I don't remember if there was a registration process. 6y
Lcsmcat There‘s no registration, just pick your French language books and tag me. I‘ll use the hashtag #frenchlittens for anyone who wants to read along, and I‘ll try to post buddyread-type announcements whenever I start a new work. 6y
Dulcinella Ok, great! I will join if it‘s a book I haven‘t read. 6y
Lindy I will try to remember to use #Frenchlittens next time I read something in French. 😀 6y

batsy Isn't it, @Cathythoughts ! I wish I was in a tiny (well-heated 😁) cottage in the quiet wintry French countryside with Baudelaire (in book form 😉) 6y
Centique That is beautiful! I love the rhythm of it 😍 6y

batsy @Centique Right? I read some of his poems awhile back but now feel the itch to own this volume 😆 6y
Lcsmcat Les fleurs du mal is on my list for 2018 #frenchlittens challenge. I can‘t wait. 6y
batsy @Lcsmcat Nice! I'm sure it will be electrifying to read it in the original language 🙌 6y
Leftcoastzen Will always love Baudelaire! 6y
TK-421 Beautiful! 6y
Centique @batsy I feel ya! I‘m going to have to read some more too. I‘ve heard his name often but never read any before 🤭 6y
