I’ve been lucky to have crossed paths with great language teachers. In a classroom, through a podcast, a guided course. No matter where I meet them, they share two qualities.
First, an approach that celebrates the process (it’s the journey, not the destination) and gives learners helpful nudges along the way. And second, a well of creativity and passion. It's that teacher who encourages you to try, to stay with it, to get good.
Christina is one such teacher. I always look forward to updates from her newsletter, Love to Lingo. She guides self-driven language learners and shares insights from language acquisition research.
“Shelfie” playfully combines “selfie” and “shelf,” as in a collection of books on a shelf. It shows you what's there in a way an algorithm or a "best of the best" list never will. Now here's a newsletter entirely made up of them.
Root of All isn’t your typical personal finance column. Written by veteran financial writer Jacob Schroeder, it starts from a provocative thesis—that money is the root of all evil, happiness, servitude, and freedom—and draws on psychology, art, and philosophy to explore the lives we build with it.
Genius Loci is a monthly newsletter where Jeremy reflects on his creative life, including the nitty-gritty of how he builds it with a newborn at home. He also shares nourishing bits of what to see, read, and explore around topics he cares about: writing, travel, and photography.
A Sunday newsletter by writer Ingrid Burrington that curates the best sentences she and readers find across the web, each linking to essays, posts, or hidden gems that gently nudge me away from doomscrolling and toward better prose.
