Angalia, Ibrahim ni mwalimu katika tovuti ya lugha inayoitwa LingQ.
Look|Ibrahim|is|teacher|at|website|of|language||LingQ
You see, George is a tutor at an online language system called LingQ.
Sielewi.
I don't understand
I do not understand.
Alinionyeshea jinsi ya kujifunza kwenye LingQ.
He showed me|how|to|learn|on|LingQ
He showed me how to learn on LingQ.
Hiyo ndiyo iliyonisaidia sana.
That|is the one||a lot
That is what really helped me.
Unamaanisha LingQ ilikusaidia zaidi kuliko kuishi na Ibrahim?
do you mean|LingQ|helped you|more|than|living|with|Ibrahim
You mean LingQ's system helped you even more than living with George?
Wote wawili walinisaidia, lakini LingQ ndiyo iliyonisaidia sana.
Both|two|helped me|but|LingQ|is the one|that helped me|a lot
Well they both helped me, but LingQ is what really helped me.
Sikuamini, Sikuelewi.
I didn't believe you|I didn't understand you
I do not believe you, I don't get it.
Ibrahim alinisaidia kugundua kwamba njia niliyotumia kujifunza Kiingereza ilikuwa mbaya.
Ibrahim|helped me|realize|that|method|I used|to learn|English|was|bad
George made me understand that the way I was learning English was wrong.
Nilikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuhusu sarufi.
I was|with|worry|very|about|grammar
I was too concerned about grammar.
Niliogopa sana kufanya makosa.
I was afraid|very|to make|mistakes
I was too afraid to make mistakes.
Nilikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuaibika.
I was|with|worry|very|embarrassed
I was too worried about being embarrassed.
Lakini si unahitaji kujua sarufi ili kuzungumza vizuri?
But|don't|you need|to know|grammar|in order to|to speak|well
But don't you need to know grammar to speak well?
Hapana.
No
No.
Nilianza kutambua kwamba kama nilifurahia kujifunza Kiingereza, haikujalisha ikiwa nilikosea.
I started|to realize|that|if|I enjoyed|learning|English|it didn't matter|whether|I made mistakes
I started to realize that if I enjoyed learning English, it did not matter if I made mistakes.
Singeaibika kufanya makosa.
I would not be ashamed|to make|mistakes
Making mistakes would not embarrass me.
Kufanya makosa ni sehemu ya kujifunza.
Making|mistakes|is|part|of|learning
Making mistakes is a part of learning.
Kwa hivyo umejifunza jinsi gani?
So|how|you have learned|how|what
So how did you learn?
Ibrahim alinieleza tu nisikilize na nisome kwa wingi na nihifandhi maneno na misemo kwenye LingQ.
Ibrahim|explained to me|just|listen to me|and|read to me|with|abundance|and|I memorize|words|and|phrases|in|LingQ
George told me to just listen and read a lot and to save words and phrases on LingQ.
Hapo ndipo nilipoanza kufurahia lugha.
There|is where|I started|to enjoy|language
That is when I started to enjoy the language.
Hapo ndipo nilipoanza kuboresha Kiingereza changu.
There|is where|I started|to improve|English|my
That is when I started to really improve my English.
Kwa kutojali kuhusu sarufi, ulianza kuzungumza vizuri?
By|not caring|about|grammar|you started|to speak|well
Just by not thinking of grammar you actually started to speak better?
Ndiyo, ilibidi nisijalishwe na yale niliyofundishwa shuleni kwa miaka mingi.
Yes|I had to|I should not be influenced|by|those|I was taught|in school|for|years|
Yes, I had to forget what I had been taught at school for so many years.
