Robinās musings about commonplace English things heās learning makes me feel like the author had to learn it at some point, and so have I. Being Chinese and living in a English colony, I can so relate. The comment about English food being heavy made me laugh.

Okay finally starting this after my (masc) partner badgered me about it for a year. I should have started it sooner - I do want to be in solidarity with our mascs - but the number of assault scenes I heard is in the book put me off quite a bit

I'm only 2 chapters in and I can already tell why everyone thinks this is a banger. It is. It very much is, I just know it'll become one of my favourite books. In barely 50 pages I've learned so much about the worldbuilding of the book AND the British Empire in the 1800 it's actually insane, and even though I already loved linguistics every single thing - explicit or not - about language in here is absolutely fascinating and "tasty" to read (in the very practical sense). I'm afraid I'll eat this whole book in weeks if not less, that's usually what happens when I like it a little too much at the very beginning x)

Fellow bi- and multilinguals! Iām curious about your reading habits, so if youāll please indulge me by answering these questionsā¦
1: which languages are you able to speak and/or read? 2: which language is your preferred for reading? Bonus if you can explain why 3: do you ever read books in a language you know but is not your preferred? Which one(s)? Why/why not?

Finally the doctorās wife fought back. But why in the world would the doctor ask her āwhyā when she told him sheād killed the bad guy? The men are all either rapists or spinelessā¦
