Je še kaj boljšega kot priti iz morske vode k dobri knjigi? No ja, če sem iskrena, ima verjetno vsak izmed nas v glavi še kakšne bolj idealne 'mokre sanje', ampak te bomo tokrat zadržali zase. Ko sem vas povprašala, preko katerih vsebin se najraje učite tujega jezika, vas je večina (na moje izredno veselje) omenila branje knjig. Kot obljubljeno v prejšnjem zapisu, sem za vas pripravila seznam knjižnih priporočil v angleškem jeziku za vroče poletje. Za lažjo orientacijo sem knjige razdelila po žanrih in jih znotraj le-teh uredila po težavnosti (od najlažjih do najzahtevnejših). Ker nihče ne mara spoilerjev, knjige nimajo opisov, namesto tega pa se pod vsako nahaja vsaj en premišljeno izbran citat. Za maksimalen užitek izberite tiste, ki vas najbolj pritegnejo, in pripadajočo knjigo povabite na slepi zmenek (ali pa jih poguglajte, who am I to judge :)).
Za vas sem pripravila seznam knjižnih priporočil v angleškem jeziku za vroče poletje.
Fantazija
“I think sometimes just being silent and watching can change a person.”
“There's nothing more aggravating in the world than the midnight sniffling of the person you've decided to hate.”
“Hey, is there a female version of wingman? Wingwoman sounds awkward. I’m coining a new phrase: Titcaptain. Tell your friends.”
“So the moral of the story is that the primary ingredient for a successful nation is guns.”
“Do you know why you feel destined for something greater?”
“Why?” Kip asked, quiet, hopeful. “Because you’re an arrogant little shit.”
“Three is the number of those who do holy work;
Two is the number of those who do lover's work; One is the number of those who do perfect evil Or perfect good.”
“Nobody got murdered before lunch. But nobody. People weren't up to it. You needed a good lunch to get both the blood-sugar and blood-lust levels up.”
“I've had the sort of day that would make St. Francis of Assisi kick babies.” 
Krimiči
“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.”
“If you confront anyone who has lied with the truth, he will usually admit it - often out of sheer surprise. It is only necessary to guess right to produce your effect.”
“'I found a dead body in the cucumber patch,' I told them.
'How very like you,' Ophelia said, and went on preening her eyebrows.”
“'My gosh, Nick, why are you so wonderful to me?'
He was supposed to say: You deserve it. I love you. But he said, 'Because I feel sorry for you.' 'Why?' 'Because every morning you have to wake up and be you.'”
“The thing about getting beat up twice, spending big chunks of time cleaning up other people's blood, seeing your dad for the first time in two years, getting in a fight with your best friend, and having sex with someone you think you might really like a lot and then going totally psycho on her, all in a twenty-four hour period, is that it's likely to affect your judgment.”
Slice of Life ali knjige o življenju, vesolju in nasploh vsem*
* Če ste jokice tako kot jaz, si za to kategorijo pripravite robčke.
Nenny is too young to be my friend. She's just my sister and that was not my fault. You don't pick your sisters, you just get them and sometimes they come like Nenny. ”
“Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.”
“...I am a time being. Do you know what a time being is? Well, if you give me a moment, I will tell you. A time being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.”
“Even death has a heart.”
“Life is going to give you things to be angry at. I don’t want you to be consumed by that anger or forget how much you’re capable of.”
Chick lit
“How people endure the complexities of their lives with faith and cheer, finding their own measure of hope, is one of the constant miracles, and often surprises of life.”
“'Don't you dare weep,' he commanded.
'You've broken my heart.' 'I'll fix it later.'”
“What? Don't British women know how to use their knees?”
“I have no sex life because school is my boyfriend and science is my lover.”
“You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him.”
No, tako, mislim, da sem vas opremila dovolj dobro, da vam ne bo treba brati 50 Shades of Grey. Kljub temu vam za popotnico želim dati še dva kratka nasveta, povezana z branjem in učenjem angleščine:
1. Če niste preveč navezani na občutek prave knjige pod prsti in želite nadgraditi svoje besedišče, si knjige naložite na elektronski bralnik, saj vam zaradi njegovega odličnega slovarja ne bo treba iskati pomena vsake neznane besede posebej – en sam klik zadostuje!
2. Kljub temu da se želite med branjem učiti ali utrditi svoje znanje tujega jezika, je bistvo branja še vedno uživanje v zgodbi, zato se ne obremenjujte preveč, če česa ne razumete. Izberite nekaj, kar vam je pisano na kožo, in dajte možgane na (jezikovno) pašo.
Pa lepo branje (in preostanek poletja) vam želim.
