Whether you're a frequent visitor to Europe or just an armchair traveler, the surprising and extraordinary stories in Lingo will forever change the way you think about the continent, and may even make you want to learn a new language. Lingo spins the reader on a whirlwind tour of sixty European languages and dialects, sharing quirky moments from their histories and exploring their commonalities and differences. Most European languages are descended from a single ancestor, a language not unlike Sanskrit known as Proto-Indo-European (or PIE for short), but the continent's ever-changing borders and cultures have given rise to a linguistic and cultural diversity that is too often forgotten in discussions of Europe as a political entity. Lingo takes us into today's remote mountain villages of Switzerland, where Romansh is still the lingua franca, to formerly Soviet Belarus, a country whose language was Russified by the Bolsheviks, to Sweden, where up until the 1960s polite speaking conventions required that one never use the word "you" in conversation, leading to tiptoeing questions of the form: "Would herr generaldirekt r Rexed like a biscuit?" Spanning six millenia and sixty languages in bite-size chapters, Lingo is a hilarious and highly edifying exploration of how Europe speaks.Binding Type: Paperback

Stylish and Solid, but Mostly Paying for the Aesthetic
Style: desk drawer with pen holder
Product: Upergo Walnut Desk Tray and Pen Holder
Used for: 7 months
Key Features:
– Attractive walnut wood design
– Solid construction with a premium feel
– Helps organize pens and desk accessories neatly
Ratings:
Quality:
The quality feels very solid overall. The wood and finish look great, and it has held up well over months of use without any noticeable wear or issues.
Rating: 5/5
Performance:
It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It keeps the desk organized, holds pens and small items well, and adds a clean, professional look to the setup.
Rating: 5/5
Value:
Honestly, it’s pretty pricey for what it is. A lot of the cost feels like it’s going toward the aesthetics and walnut finish rather than functionality.
Rating: 3/5
Pros:
– Looks very clean and premium
– Solid and sturdy build
– Great for desk organization
– Adds a nice aesthetic touch to a setup
Cons:
– Expensive for a fairly simple product
Summary:
The Upergo Walnut Desk Tray and Pen Holder is a well-made and attractive desk accessory that does a great job organizing small items while making a setup look more polished. The build quality is solid and the walnut finish looks great, but the price is definitely on the high side for what is ultimately a simple organizer. If aesthetics matter to you, it’s a nice addition, but you’re definitely paying extra for the look.
Overall Rating: 4/5**

Good materials and design
Style: desk drawer with pen holder
Don’t write reviews often. Not a fake/paid elicited review. I just got this and am pleased with the build quality, materials (wood and metal), and design.
