Meera ladró a el lobo. "¡Meera, no!" Julianna dijo. El lobo camino a ellas. "¡Correr!" Julianna gritó. Juntas, ellas corrieron a la ciudad. Entonces, ellas se relajaron. El lobo salio del parque, y no lo vieron.

Berlin Berlin
Ich sehe jetzt "Berlin Berlin" auf Netflix. Es ist wunderbar, nicht nur umgangssprachliche Ausdrücke, sondern auch um allgemeine Wörter zu lernen. Wenn ich schon auf das Niveau C2 auch bin, so fehlt mir immer noch unglaublich viele alltägliche Wörter. Überraschend ist es nicht, da ich nie zuvor weder in Deutschland gelebt habe, noch bin ich in einer deutschsprachigen Umgebung aufgewachsen. Es gibt einfach umfangreiche Wörter, die man aus keinem Lehrbuch lernen kann. Man muss entweder auf Deutsch leben oder viel Kontakt mit der Sprache haben.
Ich habe heute die Folge der ersten Staffel gesehen, in denen Lolle sich in ihren Chef verliebt. Spoiler alert: Wenn du diese Serie noch nicht gesehen hast und hast vor, sie dir anzuschauen, hör lieber jetzt auf, diesen Text zu lesen. Ich werde ein paar Ereignisse verraten und das wird natürlich die Überraschung verderben.
Ihr Chef ist verheiratet und hat Kinder. Trotzdem lässt sie sich auf ihn ein. Die beiden beginnen eine romantische, aber selbstverständlich versteckte Beziehung. Ihr Cousin warnt sie auf, dass sie nur seine Geliebte ist. Sie will das nicht glauben und bietet ihn mehrmals, dass er seiner Frau erzählt, dass sie zusammen sind. Er macht das nicht und letztendlich fasst Lolle den Entschluss, sich von ihm zu trennen. Ich weiß, es ist nur eine Fernsehserie, aber die Schauspielerin ist so gut und ihr Liebeskummer wird so schmerzhaft dargestellt, dass mir nichts übriggeblieben ist, als zu weinen.
Natürlich wusste sie schon, dass er verheiratet ist. Man kann "Selber schuld" sagen, aber es geht um diese junge Frau, die von einer kleinen Stadt nach Berlin gezogen ist, die wenig Erfahrung hat und für wen alles neu ist. Wer kann sie urteilen? Sie hat ehrlich gehofft, dass er sich von seiner Frau trennen würde, um mit ihr sein zu können...

Le serpent
J’aime les serpents, je pense qu’ils sont des animaux très élégants et intéressants, avoir la manière de survive sur la Terre sans jambes et bras, la nature est incroyable !
C’est une passion que j’ai depuis que je suis enfante. Où j’habite il y a un jardin zoologique avec une section dédiée aux reptiles, elle était toujours la préférée de ma mère et moi, pendant que mon père en a peur.
Quand j’avais 5 ans, un cirque itinérant est arrivé dans mon village, avec les clowns il y avait aussi un homme avec un serpent. Il s’est exclamé à un certain point : « qui veut prendre ce serpent ? », j’ai levé la main, tout excitée, finalement l’occasion de toucher un vrai serpent ! Seulement moi et une autre fille nous sommes portées volontaires. Quand l’homme a mis le serpent sur nos épaules, j’étais un peu nerveuse, mais en même temps, beaucoup contente.
Mes parents n’étaient pas avec moi dans ce moment, quand ma mère est venue pour me ramener à la maison, une femme lui a dit : « ta fille est vraiment courageuse ! »
Elle a compris ces mots plusieurs années plus tard, parce que je n’ai raconté pas cette aventure en ce moment, j’ai attendu des ans.

! (III)
Après des pages et des pages d'encre sué et pleuré, si difficiles à comprendre que les saisir serait un tour de force, j'ai croisé le passage que je vais vous présenter.
« Le garçon tenait sa main sur la jambe de sa femme, et les doigts caressent tantôt la joue tantôt la cuisse; ou du moins c'est tout ce que j'ai remarqué avec le seul coup d'œil que je me peux permettre. Et ce coup d'œil était très doux: deux jeunes amoureux se caressant dans un banc, souriants et insouciants; et ceci sera pour eux le banc plus doux et plus beau, et je semble sentir dans mes yeux cette douceur qui pourrait sembler seulement leur!
Quelle beauté! Je l'adore! Quelle beauté celle de l'observation du Beau pour un rêveur! Entre l'amour et l'observation des amoureux, pourquoi semble-je préférer l'observation? Mais parce que au-delà de ces caresses je vois des choses que je ne veux pas du tout vivre, et que je voudrais oublier! Et je parle des yeux de la femme, trop sûre d'elle, soit dit en passant; elle semble utiliser l'amour en soignant ses problèms. Tous ses amis ont vécu plusieurs histoires d'amour, cependant pour elle ceci est la première; et elle se sent maintenant bien, pas au-dessous de ses amis! Et je parierais que ce garçon n'est qu'un parmi plusieurs pour elle: les émotions de cette femme, que j'ai découvert d'haïr, sont gonflées, exaspérées!
Et voilà: sitôt que je m'éloigne même à peine de mon insouciant flânerie, que je commence à analyser ce que m'entoure un peu plus rationnellement, hélas, je sens mon cœur se serrer et commencer à pleurer, bien que l'orgueil sèche toujours les yeux.
Pourquoi tout ce qu'est réel semble devoir être à la fois nauséabond? Et pourquoi en revanche tout ce qui est au-delà de la réalité, à savoir tout ce que je dois imaginer, est si doux?»
Ce qui suit est bien plus délirant et pas du tout compréhensible, du moins pour moi.

Los problemas que me enfrente en mi estudio de idiomas
Estoy buscando un o unos profesores con los que puedo hablar y aprender con ellos. No obstante, creo que acabó sin nada. ¡Quiero practicar con muchas ganas!
Hay un sitio web donde se puede practicar hablar en escrito o en voz con la inteligencia artificial. Parece que es una buena idea pero no estoy segura. ¿Se puede sustituir a las personas perfectamente? No sé por qué siempre no puedo hacer un buen trabajo en lo que haga.
El pago de este servicio tiene que se paga por un año, y si quieren pagar por mes, sería muy caro. No quiero pagar tanto dinero y no sé si continuo usando esto por un año.
No quiero pagar por un año en una vez. Debido a los malos experiencias, me temo que el app de repente convierte en algo no útil o algo así.
No quiero desperdiciar mi dinero. Estoy segura que nadie quiere su dinero se desperdicia.
He empezado usar an APP, o sea, un sitio web pero es muy caro. 5 dólares por un mes. La plataforma no es muy fácil de usar. Mis objetivos principales son que recibo tanto correcciones para mis oraciones, lo que he dicho y como explicaciones por mis errores para que no cometa tal errores otra vez.
Me parece que los explicaciones son desaparecidos.
No sé. No soy perfeccionista. Quiero tener un buen base de español.
5$ por mes no es muy caro pero tengo que pagar el coste de un año. Entonces, es caro. Porque no sé si me ayudará. Me apunto en Spanish kwiziq hace unos meses, y está un poco de decepcionado. Mis preguntas que he poner en el web, no reciben contestas. Nadie resolve nada de mis preguntas.
Y su rectos de escribir y escuchar no son útiles a veces. No puedo aprender más vocabulario porque se trata de algunos temas que no me interesan o no me sirve
Este foro, también, busco usarlo y espero que haya sido diferente y puede ser útil. No lo sé también porque esto es sólo mi cuarto entrada. ¿Debería usar diario en vez de entrada? No lo sé también. Suspiro cada vez que me siento atrapada y desanimada.
Lo siento por mis quejas. Es que todos requiere dinero y además me esfuerzo mucho en todos los ejercicios o todo esto. Entonces, es una mentira si digo que no me importa o no estoy decepcionada de todo esto.

too expensive
N1 Exam cost HK$700
Last month I had a good success experience on a 10k marathon.
After that I was thinking let’s have a similar distance race each month.
But when I find out the entry fee for nowadays marathon race is around HK$500.
I give up this idea immediately.
Today I was thinking a new goal, let’s take the N1 exam again.
I haven’t try this exam more than 4 years.
I do want to get a N1 qualification if possible.
But when I check the JLPT website and find out it cost HK$700 to take the exam.
I give up that idea immediately.
Why they are charge so much?

¿Cuáles crees que son tus fortalezas y debilidades?
Siempre he considerado que mi voz es una de mis fortalezas. Tiene un sonido claro y su calidad es similar a una voz de radio. Otro más, soy muy persistente. No me doy por vencido fácilmente. He estudiado inglés por muchos años hasta alcanzar un nivel comparable con los hablantes nativos. Mi experiencia en esto es ahora mi guía para aprender y alcanzar un nivel alto en español.
¿Debilidades? A veces estoy muy perezoso,especialmente en los días en que hace frío y lluviosos. Pero siempre trato de controlarlo teniendo metas que alcanzar.

What makes you nervous? What do you try to deal with it?
I am not sure, I find it difficult to identify what makes me nervous. But I would say there are certain triggers or situations that raise significantly my nerves. On one hand, it makes me nervous to have a lot on and to have a huge workload. It puts so much pressure on me and doesn't let me unwind during all day. And on the other hand, another thing that overwhelms me is not having the control of a complex situation. All that said, I have ways to get over this. Whenever I feel both nervous and anxious, I stop whatever I am doing in that moment and go for a walk at the park or take the dog out. Of course, don't take this seriously; this helps me, so it may not work for you.

Vida cotidiana 17
Ayer decidí ir al gimnasio temprano, antes de ir a la oficina, y me alegro de haberlo hecho. Traje conmigo un cambio de ropa y jabón, y me duché allí con agua fría después de mi sesión de entrenamiento, lo que me dio más energía para empezar el día. Me sentía mucho mejor a lo largo del día y ya que trabajamos hasta las 9 de la noche, no hubiera tenido tiempo para ir al gimnasio después, porque cierran a las 9. Esta mañana pienso hacer lo mismo, y estoy intentando terminar con todas mis cosas para que pueda llegar antes de las 7:20. Creo que hace mal clima hoy y habrán ráfagas de viento y rachas de lluvia. Mi coche queda muy lejos de donde estoy ahora, pero espero que no haya problema en llegar. Después, tengo que pasar por la ferretería para comprar algunas cosas que necesitamos hoy.

Leistungssport
Hallo zusammen, heute möchte Ich folgendes Thema Präsentation :Leistungssport.
Meine Präsentation besteht aus folgenden Teilen:
Erst,Verschiedene Bereiche des Leistungssports. Danach, die Vorteile und Nachteile das Leistungssports. Schließlich werde ich über Profifußball genauer sprechen.
Wenn ich das Wort Leistungssport lese, denke ich automatisch an der olympischen Spiele. Es gibt vielfältige Sportarten, die zum Leistungsport zählen. z.B. Schwimmen, Bogenschießen, Eislaufen, Wasserspringen, Ringeturnen und Gewichtheben.
Das Ziel des Leistungssport ist schneller, Kräftiger und am besten, eine hohe Leistung zu erreichen.
Deswegen leiden fast alle zielstrebigen Sportler unter großen Druck. Sie trainieren sich ganz Tag auf dem Sportplatz und es ist denkbar, dass sie sich verletzen könnten.
Außerdem möchte ich darauf hinweisen, dass Profisportler keinen lebenslangen Beruf ist. Nachdem die Profisportler den Sportplatz verlassen haben, es wäre für sie problematisch, ihre Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen.
Es stimmt zwar viele Nachteile, aber ich möchte sagen, dass Leistungssport gleichzeitig eine neue Chance für Sportler. Sie könnten berühmt sein und damit viel Geld verdienen. Außerdem werden sie sich erfolgreich fühlen und viele von ihnen könnten Selbstverwirklichung und Karriere unter einen Hut bringen.
Ein auffälliges Beispiel ist Profifußballsportler und Weltmeisterschaft, die derzeit nicht nur in der Sportwelt sondern in vielen Aspekten eine wichtige Rolle spielt.
Dieser Wettbewerb den Sportler eine Möglichkeit anbietet, die körperlichen oder geistigen Fähigkeiten miteinander zu vergleichen und selbst zu beweisen.
Übrigens verbindet heutzutage die Weltmeisterschaft mit Milliarden Geschäfts. Das Gastgeber kann unzählige Touristen und Fußballfans locken und damit ein gutes Ansehen für die ganz Welt zeigen, was für zukünftige Entwicklung positive ist.

I don't think there are many 9-to-5 jobs in Japan. I don't hear much about it around me, and I'm not either. For example, with my father, he leaves home at 7:30 and comes back at 6:30 once a month. He usually comes home at 8:30 or 9 o'clock. Ever since I was a kid. But still, it was a little faster, before we moved he sometimes couldn't come home. It took him two hours to commute. One way. It's nuts tho. Anyway, so it is normal for me to work that much. But like father, like son. It took me two and a half hours to university. One way.
How many hours a day do you sleep?
Six or seven hours, I think. I'd like to make it a habit to add another hour or so.
What do you commute by?
Bus, train, and walk.
How long does it take?
About an hour.

It hasn't been raining much lately. It doesn't look like my day.

うーん、特に何もないのよ。だから全く観光向きではないね。近くにはスーパーもコンビニも病院もあるし不便ではないけど楽しさはないよ。
What's it like where you live?
Well, there is nothing special about it. So, it is not a tourist-friendly place at all. There are supermarkets, convenience stores, and hospitals nearby, so it's not inconvenient, but it's not fun.

My brother used to always use too much hot water when he bathed. In our house, if you use too much hot water, only water comes out. He used it without thinking about the other people and the water bill. He also left the heater on. I thought they didn't know the word "saving". No matter what anyone said to him, he didn't change. When I saw him for the first time in years, he was bathing much faster and using less hot water than I did, he had grown up, but he was not saving any electricity.
お風呂にはどのくらいの頻度で入る？
冬ならほぼ毎日入るね。それ以外の季節はほぼ入らないかな。たまに夏温度低くして入る時もあるけどね。
How often do you soak in the bath?
In winter, I take a nice hot bath almost every day. In other seasons, I almost never take a bath. Sometimes I take a nice cold bath in summer.

Yeah. I have been trying to save electricity. So I haven't turned on a AC last year and this year yet.
Those shoes are nice!(/ Nice sneaker!) How much are they?
I forgot. Maybe $300 or so?
They're expensive. You're rich.
No. I just buy things with the intention of selling them after I use them. They're expensive, but at the same time, I can sell them for more than normal. If the value goes down by $100, it's still normal, if I think of it as I bought the shoes with that money.
How was that hotel?
It was good! But there were more and more guests with children, and I couldn't relax, so I had decided not to go there. Besides, it's more fun to make new discoveries.
Hey, can you tell me what time it is?
Sure. Well, it's 1:20 p.m.
Oh, it was already past noon? Have you had lunch?
Yes.
Oh... So have you had dinner?
No. haha

How old are your birds?
The left will be 4 this year. The right will be 2. We also had birds before and they were 7, 5 and 2.
What happened to the 2 year old birdie?
It was an accident. When my mother tried to sit down, the baby ran and came under her buttocks and crushed by her. She was
crying all day. I've learned to pay attention carefully when I walk too.

Tell a story that begins with: "When he read the message..."
When he read the message from his friend, Matthew felt both excited and very nervous. It was nearly eight o'clock a.m and he had just got up. He couldn't believe that he and his friend José had been chosen to take part in the Olympic Games! They have been practising athletics since they were at school, and now they were about to compete professionally. Matthew told it to his family and all of his friends. They helped him a lot as he was struggling with his anxiety the previous days to the tournament. Gradually, he was able to deal with it so he thought he was ready to compete.
On the day of the competition the weather was well and sunny, so they thought it was a good omen. The first to take part in the track and field event was Matthew. José wished him good luck but Matthew wasn't able to listen to him because he was very nervous. Then, the race started. In the beginning, he performed very well but, after some minutes,unfortunately he fell down and hurt his leg gravely. He was fast taken to the infirmary. When he recovered, he saw through the window that it was his friend's turn. Matthew was amazed by José's perfomance. He nearly won the race. In the end, José and Matthew's family came to the infirmary to celebrate Jose's second place with him.

I'm Shougo!
Where is your name from?
Shou means a general or a shougun. Go is me. So it means I'm a general. As you can see. I don’t live up to it, but I appreciate it. This is the kind of name we have in Japan. ゆうだい. Do you know how to read it? This is Yudai. I'm sure I'll be paranoid soon.
でも感謝してるよ。日本ではこういう名前があるんだ。雄大。なんて読むかわかる？これはゆうだい。すぐパラノイアになってしまうだろうね。
How old are you?
I'm 25.
Where are you from?
I'm from Japan.
Where in Japan?
Now live in Tokyo. But I was born in Chiba and moved to Saitama in the third grade.
Saitama is like new jersey of Japan. Because there is nothing.
What do you do?
Like manufacturing.
What are your favorite colors?
Black. It'll work with any color.
どんな色にも協力してくれる
Do you like sports?
Not so much now. But I used to like martial arts.
Did you do it?
No. But I liked it because for some reason I was strong. Back then, I could have at least beaten Batman. Not Superman, though.
What about Aquaman?
I can't swim, so I lose.
What about Wonder Woman?
I am killed by beauty.
Flash?
I was fast in elementary school, but I guess I'm slow now, so I lose.
What about Cyborg?
I don't remember him much, so I win.
How can you win if you don't remember?
Because if he's made an impression, he's strong.
So... What do you like to do in your free time?
Watching movies and searching for clothes on the Internet. But lately I've been interested in learning something. Studying English, IT, bookkeeping, and reading something.
This is japan.
ここは日本だよ
物を渡す時以外「here is」というフレーズを使ってはいけません。
（本を渡して）Here is your book! ◯
床を指して Here is Japan. X
なぜかというと、「Here」は名詞ではなく副詞で主語になれません。
なので「ここは」と英語で言いたいほとんどの場合は「this is」を使います。
Can I open the window?
Oh, sorry. Was it cold?
Just a little. But no problem.
How old is your brother?
I have no idea. I never thought about it. Maybe four years older. So 29. I guess.
How is your brother?
He's ill. He's in bed.
Hope he gets well soon.
Do you think ghosts are scary?
No. I don't believe it. But I'd be surprised if they come out suddenly like at night. So I'm more scared of haunted houses than ghosts. It's fun, though. How about you?
So, is there anything that make you feel scared or afraid?
I'm scared of cockroaches.
What time is it?
One a.m.
It's that time already. Are you sleepy?
Ann and I are good friends.
Oh when did you meet her?
Have you seen the key?
It's on the table.
Did you eat dinner?
Not yet. I'm not hungry. I'm tired.
What happened? 何かあった？
What is your favorite season?
I guess fall. I like winter fashion. But winter is too cold, so fall it is. Summer and winter are fun. But the temperatures, I would say I hate them. My hands and toes get cold easily because of my sensitivity to cold or poor circulation. Worst of all, I can't feel my toes. Also I sweat a lot. So I don't like summer and winter. But I like winter fashion, so I guess I don't like summer more.
What about spring?
I like it. But I think fall is better.

Ma vie déroulée V
Finalement c'est vendredi!
J'ai passé une bonne semaine. Les cours n'étaient pas très difficiles, peut-être un peu ennuyeux. Je suis en train d'attendre de recevoir mes notes de fraçais, la professeure est trop parresseusse! Mais je sais pas si je vais le reussir ou non. J'ai beaucoup de foi.
Le mercredi j'ai allé au stade Santiago Bernabeu pour voir le Champions League, et le Real Madrid á gagné. Mais conduire dans Madrid est TROP compliqué. Beaucoup de voitures, des motos, des personnes... Et les rues sont difficiles aussi. Je vous recommendez d'acheter un billet de train ou métro pour voyager sur Madrid.
Je pense que cet week-end mes amis et moi nous parlerons sur oú nous voyagerons cet été. Mais j'ai besoin d'argent pour ça :P.
Je n'ai utilisé un cyclomoteur rien, mais je crois que si quelqu'un me donnerais un peu du temps avec un moto, j'apprenderais rapidement. Je veux apprendre pour travailler dans le répartition de la norriture.

Un altro giorno di primavera
Stamattina mi sono svegliata piuttosto prima, però la sveglia non è stata spiacevole - sapevo che oggi ho una bella giornata davanti a me.
Ho iniziato a studiare un po' alle sette e meno un quarto, ho ripassato l'imperativo e mi sono esercitata un pochino in italiano. Mi allenerò per un mezzo d'ora dopo che aver pranzato sulla Switch durante una pausa. Fino ad allora lavorerò. Ci sono troppe cose da fare ma ne ho sempre molte.
Aspetto il weekend con pazienza, mi dico me stessa "Abbi pazienza!", "Sii paziente!" quasi ogni giorno allo specchio oppure in casa. Mi piace lavorare comunque ma a volte mi sembra che il tempo vola troppo velocemente, sento che non ho più tempo. Quando ero bambina avevo il tempo per fare un sacco di cose dalla mattina alla sera. Questi giorni provo a farle piano piano.
