Learning Languages

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] A place to recommend books and manga for learning Japanese. Mostly shoujo romance/slice of life manga series. Most of the shounen series I add have a lot of romance in them. I add some seinen and josei series that sound interesting, but they may contain mature content. They'll most likely be listed as seinen/josei. They normally don't have furigana. To keep everything neat and in order I only list the first volume of a manga series. Children's books have all the volumes of a series listed and are sorted by age group. 幼稚 (Kindergarten) 3-6 years old 小学1-2年生 (elementary school 1-2 year) 6-8 years old 小学3-4年生 (elementary school 3-4 year) 8-10 years old 小学5-6年生 (elementary school 5-6 year) 10-12 years old 中学 (junior high school) 12-15 years old light novels are high school and above. They may contain mature content.

[close] This group is being established to encourage community interaction with the Germantown Warhawk Bands and the community surrounding it in Germantown, Richfield and beyond, and to have cultural awareness of traveling to Spain prior to our trip. To foster a sense of community and adventure for the upcoming Germantown Warhawk Bands trip to Madrid, Spain in Dec 2025/Jan 2026 to participate in the city's Cabalgata de Reyes parade on 01/05/2026, this list will initially feature books related to Spain's culture, music, architecture, food , art and history, that may be of interest to those making the trip and their surrounding community. We encourage the use of the Germantown Community Library as a source for books, and encourage people to explore the Library's Monarch Catalog as a means to access materials throughout the library system.
