A Teach Me How To Dewey production
This Is How We Dewey:
- 450 Italian, Romanian & related languages
- 460 Spanish, Portuguese, Galician
- 470 Latin & Italic languages
- 480 Classical & modern Greek languages
- 490 Other languages
Here’s the deal: I started trying to find books in each of the above 10-spots but was having trouble finding 3 that weren’t straight up dictionaries or the usual dry if practical phrase books for each of the sections’ languages. And then I didn’t post on TMHTD for a while out of benign neglect, so then I decided, Why don’t I just lump all these disparate languages together into one post so I can catch up and offend people all over the world? The end.
So yeah, we’re hopping on a redeye to fly over all these beautiful countries and their beautiful, complicated, storied languages, but hey, look out the window! There’s Barcelona and Rome and Athens and whatever the capital of Romania is!
