Bayer: Sag mal, Frank, wie kommt es eigentlich, dass du so gut Deutsch sprichst?

Jones: Ach, ursprünglich hatte ich Deutsch in der Schule, aber der Unterricht war nicht sehr gut. Der Lehrer konnte selbst kaum Deutsch. Ein Jahr später hatte ich alles verlernt.

Bayer: Aber jetzt sprichst du gut Deutsch...

Jones: Ja. Vor zwei Jahren habe ich Deutsch für mich wiederentdeckt. Ich höre gerne deutsche Musik und dachte, es ist eigentlich schade, dass ich sie nicht verstehen kann.

Bayer: Es gibt doch Leute, die die Texte übersetzen.

Jones: Es ist nicht das Gleiche. Jedenfalls habe ich dann angefangen, hier und da ein bssßchen Deutsch zu lernen, mit Podcasts und Internetseiten...

Jones: Dann musste ich vor einem halben Jahr umziehen und ich dachte mir, dass ich eigentlich gerne in Europa leben würde, zumindest ein Jahr oder zwei.

Jones: Also habe ich intensiver Deutsch gelernt und mich nach einer Arbeitsstelle und einer Wohnung in Deutschland umgeschaut. Freunde in München haben mir geholfen.

Bayer: Und deshalb bist du jetzt hier. Interessant!

Jones: Ja, und mir gefällt es hier.

Bayer: Das freut mich. Außerdem bist du hier ganz von Deutsch umgeben, da kannst du es nicht mehr verlernen.

Jones: Haha, ja, das stimmt.

----Formal English----

Bayer: Say, Frank, how did you come to speak such good German?

Jones: Oh, originally I took German in school, but the class wasn't very good. Even the teacher could barely speak German. A year later I'd forgotten it all.

Bayer: But now you speak German so well...

Jones: Yes, two years ago I rediscovered German. I liked to listen to German music, and thought it's really too bad that I can't understand it that well.

Bayer: But there are people who translate the lyrics.

Jones: It's not the same. In any case, I started to learn a bit of German here and there, with podcasts and web sites...

Jones: Then a half year ago I had to move, and I thought to myself that it'd actually be nice to live in Europe, at least for a year or two.

Jones: So I studied German more intensely, and looked around for a job and an apartment in Germany. Some friends in Munich helped me out.

Bayer: And now you're here. Interesting!

Jones: Yeah, and I like it here.

Bayer: I'm glad. Besides, here you're completely surrounded by German, so you can't forget it anymore.

Jones: Haha, yes, that's true.
