All your language learning materials and programs are one 1 shelf and that shelf is burning. You have time to grab 1--just 1 thing!

What would you take and why?

I'd take my Easy Spanish Reader because my mom gave it to me and because it was what I used years ago to get a sense of the language and its still useful to me. (Plus, the library has a better collection of materials than I could ever afford!)


All the stuff is on one shelf? What are you doing here?

It's funny because nearly all my language materials are on one shelf, save the resources I mostly actively use (which,
for all the internet is good for, are not stored there!).

I would grab either my Dunwoody Korean Newspaper Reader, which was a birthday present, or a choice Korean
novel (probably 가시고기). The former is an amazing resource for Korean and the latter is just a damn good book.

That aside, I would happily watch my Yonsei University textbooks (levels 3, 4, 5, and the reading books) burn to
mounds of crumpled plastic and ash, and then consider actions involving bodily waste. Though they're expensive
and nicely printed, I have too many memories of stressful tests that I eventually outright stopped taking seriously
because of their adverse effects on learning Korean...

Langenscheidt's Großwörterbuch Japanisch-Deutsch. It's the most expensive one I own. I also supsect that it would be useful as murder weapon ... er I mean for self defense.

I would be in big trouble because I have 30 shelves of language books.

I would just leave it all to fry. A true language learner doesn't need materials to go on
studying...
