Ich soll gestehen, ich bin kein großer Erfrischungsgetränketrinker.
I've gotta admit I'm no big soda drinker.

Aber in Massachusetts trank ich viele Sodawasser mit verschiedenen Fruchtgeschmäcken von der regionalen „Polar“-Marke.
But in Massachusetts I drank a lot of various fruit-flavored seltzers from the regional "Polar" brand.

Eine sprudelnde und zuckerfreie Abwechslung.
A fizzy and sugar-free change of pace.

Darüber hinaus mag ich auch Dr. Pepper, Ingwerlimonade, Kräuterbier und Cream soda.
Beyond that, I also like Dr. Pepper, ginger ale, root beer, and cream soda.

Francamente, yo tampoco. Solamente bebo un refresco en ocasiones raras y especiales, si alguien me lo da.
Honestly, nor am I. I only drink soda on rare and special occasions if someone gives me some.

Das erinnert mich ein bisschen an eine Art von Heidelbeerlimonade, die ich einmal trank, als ich in Maine war.
That reminds me a little bit of a kind of blueberry soda I drank one time while I was in Maine.

Generalmente me gusta beber refrescos que contienen el sabor de limón.
I usually like to drink soda that contains lemon flavoring.

Es tut mir leid, das zu hören. Ich kann das Gefühl der Einsamkeit verstehen. Die einzigen Personen, die ich während den letzten einigen Monaten gesehen habe, sind meine Eltern und meine Ärzte und Ärztinnen. [:(]
I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand the feeling of loneliness. The only people I've seen over the past few months are my parents and doctors.

Hoffentlich kannst du deine Freunde bald wieder sehen.
Hopefully you can see your friends again soon.

Sind die Lektionen über Swahili vorbei? Es gibt überhaupt kein Problem, wenn du nicht genug Zeit hast, oder wenn du sie nicht fortsetzen willst, aber wenn das Problem der Mangel der Rückmeldung ist, ich möchte sagen, das ich habe noch Interesse, aber ich wollte warten, auf die nächste Prüfung, irgendetwas zu sagen.
Are the Swahili lessons over? It's no problem at all if you don't have enough time, or if you don't want to continue them, but if the problem is the lack of feedback, I'd like to say that I'm still interested, but I wanted to wait for the next test to say anything.

(Sorry if this comes off as rude or pushy or intrusive or anything like that… that wasn't my intention at all.)
