I've found this and, since saecel is working on a space game, I thought that it could be interesting

A bit about the vocabulary for people who work with metal. Not very useful for passing a test or business conversation, but interesting for writing stories.

Interesting article. Didn't find the list of the 3000 though, but still, another indication that English is an amazing language.

I think that it can be a bit challenging at medium level, but not an impossible lecture (and, as one of my teachers said, we should challenge ourselves to improve), and it is a fun story, with interesting characters. Set in the XIX century, there are some difficult words about clothes, furniture and so.

It says "book 2" of the series, but the first one is a novella and you don't need to read it before this one.

And because I know that some people don't like reading that kind of things: I warn that there is some explicit content in the last third of the novel.

If you like point and click browser games, maybe you will like the Medieval Cop series. It is a humor series about a perpetually depressed cop in a fantasy world. Mostly you have to solve a mistery, gathering evidence, interrogating witnesses and  getting to a conclusion. The dialogues are not subbed, so you will practice reading comprehension, mostly, but each episode is short and fun. And, although you can support the developers in their Patreon, each episode is available for free.

An article about a therapy group that uses D&D to connect to and help kids with social issues. Mind you, the article is a bit long.

Part of the article

In March, Davis and Johns, who helped him start Wheelhouse, gave a presentation at the PAX East convention in Boston. They joked that everybody running D&D therapy groups, themselves included, like to think it was their idea. Not so. There are a half dozen groups across the States tapping into tabletop RPGs’ therapeutic potential. Therapists have long used role-play to help their patients, inviting patients to role-play personal scenarios from friends’ or parents’ perspectives. But buying in can feel pretty lame without a good hook, or a fictional world’s distance from real-life. Because D&D is inherently cooperative and escapist, it urges players to reimagine the ways they interact with peers. And because each player has their own specialty, like communicating with dragons, they’ll have their moment to feel valuable in a group setting.

Jake Adelstein is a reporter that writes about Japan, especially, it's crime life. I didn't know him but I have read an article by him recently, and casually, my boyfriend said that he read him frequently.

Anyway, he has a book about the Yakuza, writes frequently for the Japan Subculture Research Center (he is an editor there, I think) and has written a couple of pretty unique reviews of the videogame Yakuza 3, that you would find interesting even if you don't know the videogame (I don't) because of what they can teach you about the yakuza life.
