    We broke our new series on learning Romanian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Romanian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Romanian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    The Art Of series, edited by Charles Baxter, is a new series of brief books by contemporary writers on an important craft issue. Each book investigates an aspect of the craft of fiction, creative nonfiction, or poetry by discussing works by authors past and present. The books in The Art Of series are not strictly manuals, but serve readers and writers by illuminating aspects of the craft of writing that people think they already know but don't really know.The first book in The Art Of series of books on the craft of writing, fiction writer and essayist Charles Baxter's The Art of Subtext discusses and illustrates the hidden subtextual overtones and undertones in fictional works haunted by the unspoken, the suppressed, and the secreted. As Baxter notes in one essay, "A novel is not a summary of its plot but a collection of instances, of luminous specific details that take us in the direction of the unsaid and unseen."Using an array of examples from Melville and Dostoyevsky to contemporary writers Paula Fox, Edward P. Jones, and Lorrie Moore, Baxter explains how fiction writers create those visible and invisible details, how what is displayed evokes what is not displayed.

    Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series
     
    
     
    Welcome to a fresh approach to language learning! This series helps you master a new language (Spanish) by exploring topics that spark your interest, like Ancient Civilizations. Each book focuses on a theme—art, science, history, and more—and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and the target language.
     
    
     
    Here’s how it works: Each fact is first shown in the target language for you to interpret. On the next page, the fact appears in English, then repeated in the target language to help clarify unfamiliar terms. This concise, repetitive format aids memorization without extra fluff. The second half reverses the order—English, target language, then English—challenging you to translate both ways and master the content.
     
    
     
    Benefits include:
     
    
     
    - Concise Learning: Simple, one-sentence facts make every word meaningful and easy to remember.
     
    
     
    - Reinforcement: Alternating languages strengthens vocabulary and grammar naturally, bridging both languages through practice.
     
    
     
    - Contextual Engagement: Learning vocabulary tied to topics you love keeps the process dynamic and memorable.
     
    
     
    - Dual Knowledge: As you learn the language, you also deepen your understanding of fascinating subjects.
     
    
     
    Designed for learners who value clear, focused information, this series ensures an effective and enjoyable educational experience. Whether a beginner or advancing your skills, embark on this journey of 100 facts, letting your passions drive your language mastery!
