昨日歯医者に行きました。私は日本に帰ったときは必ず歯医者に行くようにしています。私は歯医者に行くとき、とても緊張します。特に痛みがあるから行くわけではないのに、行く前は虫歯があったらどうしようと不安になります。ドイツでは私は一番安い保険に入っているので、日本と同じレベルの治療を期待できません。だか日本に帰る度に歯医者に行って治療しています。
今回は虫歯は見つからなかったのですが、下に生えている親知らずを抜いた方がいいと言われました。でも今親知らずを抜いたら、日本にいる間に食べたいものが食べられなくなるかもしれません。でも、親知らずを抜かないでドイツに帰って、ドイツで親知らずが痛くなればたくさんのお金を払って治療しなければいけないかもしれません。今、どうするべきかとても悩んでいます。みなさんならどうしますか？

        这个现象挺有意思的：同样是说中文，对待同样的事情，说出来的话可以是很不一样的，这可能就是成语和俗语的区别吧。同时，读书人和不读书人、社会地位高和低的人，在说中文时也是能让人听出来几分的哟。This phenomenon is very interesting: Regarding speak Chinese, the same thing to say the words can be very different, which may be the difference between idioms and colloquial.  At the same time, Knowledgeable people and non- Knowledgeable people, and people of high and low social status can also be recognized when speaking Chinese.

Hi! You’re listening to the 111 Tips for Learning a Language Podcast. This is episode 2. Relax and be in your comfort zone as I present to you today’s tip. Why do we learn a language? We all have our reasons. What is your main reason? Simply put what motivates you to learn this language? We all know what drives us to learn a language. Rarely though we capitalize on the main reason we are learning the language. For example I am learning French because I want to spend my summer vacations here. This is the main reason which motivates me to learn French. Once I am clear about my main reason for learning French, I will concentrate on tourist vocabulary phrases to practice informal conversation with the locals. I will learn simple sentences so that I can make friends with the French and be understood by them. Aspects of the French language like the technicalities of grammar and writing would not be important for now. Once I narrow down my learning motivation, I become fluent quicker in what I really want to accomplish in the first place. The first milestone of getting one aspect of the language done is the one which always inspires me to learn more. Think about it. What is your main reason for learning a language? Is it for the perfect holiday, work, leisure, cultural or business reasons? Concentrate on one scope and expand on that area first. Now, I will leave you to it. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.
