Hello! I would be thrilled to get a treat/gift in any of these languages:
German is my second language, but I speak & read fluently. Yiddish is the language of my ancestors, rather than anything I speak natively, and I've only studied it formally a little bit (one college semester + some Duolingo). But between knowing the Yiddish alphabet and having my German vocabulary to lean on, I can decipher written Yiddish pretty well if given enough time. Similarly, Icelandic I've only learned to an A2 level, but between drawing on my German and copious use of dictionaries, I can figure out quite a bit.
My requested fandoms are the Graceling Realm series by Kristin Cashore, the Seraphina series by Rachel Hartman, Call Me By Your Name (2017), John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, and the All-of-a-Kind-Family series by Sydney Taylor. My letter is: https://starfishstar.dreamwidth.org/126854.html
