I’m going to be taking German lessons again soon (in preparation for my trip to Europe this summer). As I was searching Pinterest for recommendations for German language books and flashcards, I stumbled on these. Cute, no?
Magnets Made from a Spanish Dictionary
These magnets are hand-made using actual pages from a Spanish dictionary. You can pick from a selection of words and their English translations ( for example, “vivacious”, “vivid”, “wedding” or “zeal”).
Vintage French Flashcards
Several artists on Etsy are selling vintage French flash card sets from the 1960s. You can use them in a collage or simply frame them and hang them on the wall as an expensive yet unique piece of art.
Funny French Swear Word Pillow
If you can ignore the fact that “merde” means “shit” in French, the word looks and sounds romantic, no? And it’s written in pink, no less. 100 dollars on Etsy.com.

These coasters make a fun gift for people who love drinking beer and learning foreign languages…though hopefully not at the same time? Available in 15 different languages from this brewery.

I have been following your blog since your Japan days. I lived there myself for a year, in Himeji, andI wanted to give you a shout out for always having fun, interesting posts! I am considering learning Spanish but it seems like so so much work! How will you go about learning German?
@Sarah – Oh my goodness! That’s a loooooong time. Thanks for sticking with me.
I studied German in college so it shouldn’t be too hard to pick it up again. Maybe. I hope?
Spanish is easy at first…but the more you learn of it the harder it gets. I want to learn Spanish again too. Siiiiiigh. I’m pretty lazy/busy though. I don’t know if that’ll happen any time soon.
