Pre Intermediate Reading Books Pdf

Howevergetting into Chinese books can be a frustrating process. There are very few decent resources for adult learners of Chinese, especially for intermediate learners, let alone ones that use traditional characters.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing such great advice for Mandarin learners. ?

I would love to read mangas in Mandarin, but I do not live in Taiwan! How could we access them? Is it possible to have access to a library online that provides ePubs for people reading mangas on a Kobo?

Everytime I finish a chapter in a foreign language a great sense of accomplishment sweeps over me. Unfortunately, if a book is very long, the likelihood of finishing it decreases due to lack of time, loss of interest, etc.

Great books. The Giver was my favorite book when I was in 5th grade and sparked a love of reading in me. Number the Stars was the favorite of many of my friends. These are great for ANY age level.

In this blog, I want to cover my top choices for tarot resources for intermediate level tarot readers. I have read approximately 20 tarot books over the past 3 years, and I have divided them up into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Previously, I covered 3 of my favorite tarot books that I recommend for beginner tarot readers. I will briefly talk about those again here before revealing my choices for the intermediate level.

Kitchen Table Tarot is another great one for beginners. Melissa Cynova presents tarot in modern, relatable language that I think most people can absorb easily. I read this book in one day. She keeps her tarot card meanings concise. I put her meanings on index cards to remember early on because they were easy to digest. She also puts a modern spin on her examples for the cards, and it makes it so clear how to read the cards in spreads with her examples.

Court cards are a struggle for many tarot readers, especially if you are new to tarot. I found that the book Your Tarot Court by Ethony Dawn is the best reference for understanding the court cards. This whole book is dedicated to deeply exploring each of the 16 court cards with common card meanings, personality characteristics, and upright and reversed meanings for each. She includes several spreads to use to explore the court cards thoroughly.

As she walks you through each court card, she gives you keywords, astrological associations, archetypes, and examples of how they interact in love and relationships, in work and career, and their strengths and weaknesses (shadow). She explains their motivations, behavioral aspects and what the messages might be when these cards come up in a reading. I found this information so helpful that I made index cards using these insights to help quiz myself on each court personality to become more familiar with each. Ethony provides tarot spreads for the courts and a few spreads on love and relationships with the court figures.

Ethony covers gender and social constructs, hierarchy of the court, archetypes and social roles of the court. She gives the court a modern makeover leaving you with a fresher take on these fascinating characters that have much more life than the traditional court. She explains how these personalities behave, interact with other court players and the light and shadow characteristics of each. After you read this book, the court cards take on fully defined personalities that are easy to remember. This book helped take my readings to a whole new level. I no longer struggle with confusing court cards in my spreads. Ethony helps give the court personalities depth and definition which enrich your readings. The court cards are much more accessible by the end of this book.

Whenever anyone asks for book suggestions on the court cards, Your Tarot Court is the book I recommend. Ethony is such a great teacher and writer, and she is funny so that combination makes this an excellent and fun read. Ethony also has a facebook page dedicated to this book where she has videos of free classes she offered to walk you through the different sections of the book, so take advantage of that perk too.

It was an uplifting read with a focus on healing, confronting your shadow, finding hope, developing compassion for others and reaching out to find ways to make a difference in our communities to help heal those around us. There is a lot of insight to be found in these pages. This book helps you dive deeper into tarot by teaching you how to explore your shadow and work with it to reconstruct negative patterns that may have boxed you in with limiting beliefs and roles in your life. There is a freedom you feel when you read this book and realize that you hold the key to changing your own world and building a life that you can fall in love with.

This is a great read if you are looking to use tarot for transformation and empowerment. They also offer tarot spreads for the heavier topics in healing work such as grief, anxiety, depression, anger, divorce, and addiction. Theresa and Shaheen also offer tarot lessons from the major arcana on personal power and transformation. It is important to have support when you dig around in the darkness and confront your own fears, insecurities, and inner demons. They provide that much needed support throughout this book. Even though they are covering heavy topics, they lead you to the light at the end of the tunnel, and I found that I was feeling much lighter in spirit by the end of the book. If you have been struggling with some of these darker themes of life and want to start breaking these unhealthy cycles, check out Tarot for Troubled Times.

I bought The Tarot Playbook: 78 Novel Ways to Connect with Your Cards by Lynda Cowles to have a fun book to use with the tarot in creative and joyful ways on a daily basis. This book provides a fun activity or game for each tarot card in the deck. These exercises are fun if you have a group of friends that also enjoy tarot, so you will have a good list of activities for groups. The activities are pretty creative and even include creative writing, setting up a murder mystery and artistic crafts or journaling ideas just to name a few examples.

For each Major Arcana card, you get related quotes, card meanings, symbolism for the colors in the image, numerological, mythological and historical associations, insightful questions meant to aide you in probing beneath the surface into your subconscious mind, journal prompts for your journal work and psychological techniques and exercises that tie into the work with that particular major arcana, which helps you further immerse yourself in tarot study.

Andy gives us psychological techniques and exercises for each card as well. Some examples he provides for the majors include techniques like yoga, sleep hygiene, exercise, stress management, deep breathing, guided imagery, acupuncture and psychological treatments like ACT, which is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also provides book recommendations for any psychological concepts you may want to explore further, and each of these techniques has a devoted section where he details how to start implementing these techniques into your healing work. This book is a beast. There is so much he includes in this book. It takes awhile to work through, so take your time with it to fully absorb this material.

Later in the year I will post a blog with my recommendations for advanced tarot readers. This way you will have a resource list for all levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. Each level takes you deeper in your tarot study.
