I would hope that everyone studying languages knows about the FSI courses - the comprehensive language courses developed for the Foreign Service Institute, freely available because of the vast public treasure that is the public domain.
Welcome
Welcome to my blog, where I post infrequently about books I'm reading, cool things I've found on the internet, poems I've liked, and other things that catch my attention.
Well, this one looks like more of a general concept. Not a lot of blanks that look like math or chemistry today.
Article length is medium (about 9 screens worth on my big monitor); article title is 11 characters.
The Bridge at Grez caught my eye. I liked the looseness of the watercolor style (compared to the impressionistic yet still relatively precise style of some of his oils and watercolors). The longer I looked, the more taken I was with the shadowed undersides of the arches.
These are definitely fun, but I may take a break for a while pretty soon.
I have a real affinity for poems that contrast teachings about God with the experience of God, and for poems about talking with God.
The middle section is just wonderful ...
So this one's interesting: it's a four-letter word.
I'm not getting a lot of clues from the punctuation.
A few phrases catching my eye:
Not a lot of interesting punctuation to go on,
However, some clues I'm picking up (I think):
Like yesterday, I don't have a lot of interesting punctuation to go on, so I'll try to use some common words and see if I can get this solved reasonably quickly.
There is some interesting punctuation:
Yet another one that's not giving me much to go on.
So today I think I'll try some topic words - I bet I'll get a lot of 0 results, but maybe it'll point me in the right direction.
System is usually a pretty reliable word; 7 hits - and hmm, "of the █████ system" sure makes me think solar system. But no; 0 hits for solar.
This is another one that's not giving me much to go on.
So I'll start with some fairly common words, once again trying to go a little faster than I sometimes have in the past.
many and all show up in most articles, and we do get a few hits here. Nothing for perimeter, which I tried just because of all the outside and inside visible words.
Some random guesses: type and first - oh, but I guessed square up there to go with perimeter, and that gave me only 3 hits, but one of them is
