I'm looking for a partner to learn Japanese using Skype. I have basic skills and can say simple sentences, but I want to improve my conversational skills.
I'm a native speaker of German but can also speak English. I could help you with pronouncing German words (of you want to practice :D).
Please feel free to send me a mesage.
皆さん、こんいちは!
I have a question about the word ゆっくり in the following sentence:
<font face="WenQuanYi Zen Hei Sharp"><font style="font-size: 12pt"><font color="#222222"><font face="sans-serif">「一人でゆっくりと好きな絵を見るために、今年は</font></font></font></font><font style="font-size: 12pt;"><font color="#222222"><font face="sans-serif">5</font></font></font><font face="WenQuanYi Zen Hei Sharp"><font style="font-size: 12pt"><font color="#222222"><font face="sans-serif">月の休みに外国へ行くことにしました。」</font></font></font></font>
My translation would be: "To see the pictures I like (my favourite picture) alone and slowly, I decided to go abroad (to a foreign country) for the holidays in may this year."
The word ゆっくり doesn't make sense at this point of the sentence (in my opinion). Since it means "slow", it doesn't make sense to look at pictures slowly. Is there maybe another meaning for ゆっくり or do I miss the meaning of it?
Isn't the word ゆっくり a modifier for 見る in this case?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm using a japanese learning app which gives me sentences with gaps, forwhich i have to select the correct solutions. Sometimes I am confused because the translations (which google gives me) for these sentences dont make sense a lot.
Example:
あめがふっています。みんなかさを _____ います。
My understanding would be: It is raining / It will rain. Everybody _____ an umbrella.
a) あけて b) あげて c) さして d) つけて
So c) is the correct answer. But if I translate the second sentence, it would give me "Everyone has an umbrella". Since this sentence has no Kanji, I'm not able to get the correct meaning of 「さす」or 「さしています」, since there are many translations for it.
Could you guys thell me, what さす means in this case and which Kanji for さす would be the correct one?
Thanks in advance,
ありがとうございます!
Deniz
