    Russian speakers: Share your music with me, please!

    Hello, friends. Music is a great way to learn languages don't you think? I certainly think so. My only issue is I don't really know any music in Russian. The only Russian speaking band I know of is a Belorussian band named Molchat Doma.  Maybe some of you kind folks could recommend me something else to listen to?

    I like all types of music but I really like bands like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Boy Pablo, Wallows, Lagwagon, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, a lot of music in the vein of rock. Thanks in advance!

    I'm a native speaker from the U.S. I'm looking for a native Spanish speaker from Mexico. Maybe we could help each other!

    And I Think to Myself "What a Wonderful Meme"

    Hello, friends. Some people think memes only exist as a picture with a top and bottom text but lately it seems that the definition of meme can range from a text post to entire videos. Today, I wanted to share a few memes with you all.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYx_aGlmyc4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYx_aGlmyc4</a>;

    "Whoever threw that paper, your mom's a ho"
    This was one of the first vines I ever saw and it was such a great introduction. A simple but spontaneous moment caught on camera and memorialized forever on the internet .

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUzoJrfJQBw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUzoJrfJQBw</a>;

    This a nonsensical conversation between two North Americans and I absolutely love it. 

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzwHeZISk8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzwHeZISk8</a>;
    The infamous "escalera" vine. This video is an accurate representation of the intensity I can have when playing lotería or really anything. 


    So, I want to encourage any users who see this post to drop some memes in the discussion. Maybe share a meme that's a source of national pride for you, or a meme that perfectly describes you. Non English memes are more than welcomed. Also, if you have any questions about memes, I think this discussion would be the perfect place to discuss them.

    Easy Spanish, Dama G, Superholly, Bully Magnets, Plumas Atómicas, Alvinsch

    Easy Spanish is a channel for learning languages. The whole show revolves around interviewing people in Spanish speaking countries and asking them questions. It's great because you get a genuine look at how native speaker process their thoughts in real time 

    Dama G is a Mexican Youtuber who does like commentary and skits. She does talk kind of fast though, so be warned.


    Superholly is an American youtuber who mostly makes content in Spanish. She's fluent as heck and pretty entertaining. She does a lot of storytime stuff so if you're into that check her out.


    Bully Magnets is a history channel of sorts. They make videos discussing historical events or even political concept. They make quality content in my opinion.

    Plumas Atómicas is a top tier news channel from Mexico. They discuss news from a more left leaning perspective so it's pretty great if you're against racism and other forms of oppression.


    Alvinsch is a Colombian youtuber who mostly discusses music. He always manages to make topics interesting even if at first it might seem kind of whatever.

    Nancy Risol is another youtuber that has recently blown up across the Spanish speaking internet world. She's an adorable indigenous girl from Ecuador who makes silly but funny videos. She has a certain charm that I think most people will find hard to deny.

    I was a little Mexican heavy in my recommendations but that's because that's the accent and dialect I'm trying to master so yeah. Hope you find these recommendations useful!

    Shaking hands

    I found Americans love to shake shaking hands while greeting, especially with someone they're meeting for the first time who first meet. In China, it's not a very common thing to do. manner. It would be seen only in very formal business situations or meetings between of the officials. Interestingly, high-ranking officials are much more likely to shake hands when greeting with others, even though not in very formal situations. I am not sure whether for them shaking hands is a sign of power or something else, but definitely, it contains more information carries more significance than when Americans do so.

    Technically, this mannerism was transmitted from western countries. We didn't have this kind of mannerism until approximately one hundred years ago. So, culture is very interesting, when we absorbed some foreign culture, we mixed it with something indigenous. One same thing may have different meanings when the situations are different.


    How do people usually greet each other in China? 

    Great work on your journal entry!
