Summary

W. S. Gilbert's 'Original Plays, Second Series' is a collection of witty and satirical plays that exemplify his unique literary style. Known for his sharp humor and clever wordplay, Gilbert's plays are a blend of comedy and social commentary, providing insight into the Victorian-era society. The plays in this collection are filled with memorable characters, absurd situations, and thought-provoking themes that resonate even in contemporary times. Gilbert's ability to tackle serious topics with humor is a testament to his skill as a playwright, making this collection a must-read for fans of comedic literature. W. S. Gilbert, best known for his partnership with composer Arthur Sullivan in creating the famous Gilbert and Sullivan operas, was a prolific writer who excelled in both humor and critique. His background in law and theater allowed him to craft plays that not only entertained but also challenged societal norms. His keen observations of human behavior and society are evident in 'Original Plays, Second Series,' showcasing his talent for blending comedy with social commentary. I highly recommend 'Original Plays, Second Series' to readers who appreciate witty humor, clever wordplay, and insightful social commentary. Gilbert's plays are not only entertaining but also offer a deeper understanding of the societal issues of his time, making this collection a valuable addition to any literary enthusiast's library.

    Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Spanish for pre-intermediate_Part 01 by Audioacademyeu. The course is deigned for  slightly advanced learners who have already studied Spanish for one or two years and have mastered the basics.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. Because of its size, the course is divided into two parts. You are now reading the introduction to the first part. In total, you will find 3000 words and practice sentences in this course.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Spanish, in track one you hear the  Spanish word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Spanish twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Spanish (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English Pedro García-Guiaro and Begoña García Ferrerira in Spanish.Lesson 001 Activities 01Lesson 002 Activities 02Lesson 003 LivingLesson 004 Travelling 01Lesson 005 Travelling 02Lesson 006  DayLesson 007 FoodLesson 008 Communication 1Lesson 009 Communication 2Lesson 010 Communication 3Lesson 011 City

    Just say Nu is a practical guide to using Yiddish words and expressions in day-to-day situations. Along with enough grammar to enable readers to put together a comprehensible sentence and avoid embarrassing mistakes, Wex also explains the five most useful Yiddish words-shoyn, nu, epes, takeh, and nebakh-what they mean, how and when to use them, and how they can be used to conduct an entire conversation without anybody ever suspecting that the reader doesn't have the vaguest idea of what anyone is actually saying. Readers will learn how to shmooze their way through such activities as meeting and greeting; eating and drinking; praising and finding fault; maintaining personal hygiene; going to the doctor; driving; parenting; getting horoscopes; committing crimes; going to singles bars; having sex; talking politics, and talking trash. People have finally started to realize that there's nothing in the world that can't be improved by translating it into Yiddish. Just say Nu is the book that's going to show them how.
