My friend, who's sitting my cats, asked me for some easy to understand English books. I recommended our children's and middle grade books. And also dug up some magazines - a German magazine with easy English texts and explanations.

Here's the jokes section.

Samplergal Oh jokes are so hard to understand in a different t language. Hope your friend doesn‘t give up with them. 7y
Cathythoughts Loving those jokes 👍🏻😂 7y
julesG @Samplergal Those jokes are just an extra. The real magazine is full of interesting articles about current news and about an English speaking country or a city. 7y

I'm enjoying doing this each week so far. If you are too let me know ?
This is actually the Webster's Dictionary Word of the Day. If you'd like more history check out their site.
#WordOfTheWeek
Mansuetude was first used in English in the 14th century, and it derives from the Latin verb mansuescere, which means "to tame." Mansuescere itself comes from the noun manus (meaning "hand") and the verb suescere ("to accustom" or "to become accustomed")

SilversReviews I like the definition and history of the word. Thanks. 7y
