Now, many of Silvia's relatives can speak English, but they prefer to speak German with Silvia. So I feel a little 'left out' of the conversation. That makes me think, wouldn't it be great if I could speak some German? I could perhaps understand a little of what they are talking about. Perhaps I could even do some of the talking.
西爾維婭的許多親戚都會說英語，可是他們和西爾維婭在一起的時候更喜歡說德語。所以我感覺我被排除在對話之外了。這時我就會想，如果我會德語是不是很好？這樣我就能大概了解他們在談什么了。也許我還能參與他們的談話。
So I decided about 3 years ago that I would learn German. I have gone to German classes every week and I do other things to help me learn German. For example, I use websites for language learning (likewww.Babbel.com) and I also use apps on my iPhone (like Pimsleur German). Now while I have learnt a lot of grammar and vocabulary, I find it difficult to understand spoken German. When I try to listen to the German news, or to watch German movies, the spoken German is always much too fast for me. I can't understand it because the people speak too fast. What I needed was some spoken German which was not too fast and about topics which are interesting. Imagine how happy I was when I found there were many podcasts for learners of German, where the speaker always spoke slowly.
所以三年前我決定學習德語。我每周去上德語課，還會做一些對我學習德語有幫助的事情。比如，我會使用像www.Babbel.com這樣的語言學習網站，我還在我的蘋果手機上下載了像Pimsleur German這樣的學習應用。現在雖然我已經學習了很多德語的語法和詞匯，可是我發現還是難以理解德語口語。我在嘗試聽德語新聞或看德語電影時，我發現德語口語對我來說語速太快了。因為人們說得太快了，所以我無法理解。我需要的是那些語速不太快的德語口語，還有有意思的話題。想象一下，我在發現有許多語速很慢的德語學習播客時我有多么高興。
