Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Sehemu ya Australia nilipokua, kipupwe ni cha kinyemi kwa sababu hakuna joto kali. Hapa Ujerumani wakati wa kipupwe miti inaonekana kana kwamba ilikufa, mchana ni mfupi kupita kiasi na kusipokuwa na theluji, kila kitu ni cha kijivu, udongo una unyevunyevu, huwezi kuketi nyasini, huwezi kukutana na ...

In school, we said "push in". I don't think I have a natural phrase to say anymore.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Na mtu hapa anapotaka kuandika kitu fulani kwa lugha anayojifunza na hana mada, hali ya hewa ni mada nzuri kwa sababu tunaishi mahali pengine duniani kote. Tunaweza kuzungumza kuhusu hali ya hewa au tulichokila leo. Najua kwamba mimi ningependelea kuzungumza kuhusu hali ya hewa. And when someone he...

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Hapa hainyeshi mvua, lakini nimetoka kusikia mwenzangu wa nyumbani akikojoa. It's not raining here, but I just heard my flatmate peeing. Jana ilinyesha mvua kwa kweli. Si ya kawaida. Huku Berlin mara nyingi inanyunya tu. Yesterday it really rained. It's not usual. Here in Berlin, most of the time, ...

The guy who put an angry face on my profile picture sent me a message today saying "Hi. Get well soon." (in English). It's just really damn odd. Is that meant to be passive aggressive?
