For ten years I didn't go home. And when I finally got off the train, my own uncle looked at me and immediately stared down at his shoes.

„Lena“, hat Onkel Sepp gesagt. Nur das. Dann hat er meinen Koffer genommen und ist zum Auto gegangen.

A parallel text puts a story next to its translation, paragraph by paragraph. Read in the language you are working on and glance across only when a sentence stops you: the story keeps moving, and the words you look up stay in context. More in how to read with a parallel text.
