Hi everyone! I’m Alisha. |
Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
We’ve found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you’ll use in real conversations. |
In this lesson, you’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question, "What are you doing during the holiday?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about your holiday plans. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Что Вы делаете на День труда? (Chto Vy delayete na Den' truda?) |
Я собираюсь поехать на шашлыки. (Ya sobirayus' poyekhat' na shashlyki.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
Что Вы делаете на День труда? (Chto Vy delayete na Den' truda?) |
“What are you doing for Labor Day?” |
Я собираюсь поехать на шашлыки. (Ya sobirayus' poyekhat' na shashlyki.) |
“I'm planning to go to a barbecue.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you doing for Labor Day?” |
That's: |
Что Вы делаете на День труда? (Chto Vy delayete na Den' truda?) |
Listen to it again: |
Что Вы делаете на День труда?, Что Вы делаете на День труда? (Chto Vy delayete na Den' truda?, Chto Vy delayete na Den' truda?) |
“What are you doing for Labor Day?" |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
Я собираюсь [plan]. (Ya sobirayus' [plan].) |
“I’m planning to [plan].” |
For example: |
“I'm planning to go to a barbecue.” |
Я собираюсь поехать на шашлыки., Я собираюсь поехать на шашлыки. (Ya sobirayus' poyekhat' na shashlyki., Ya sobirayus' poyekhat' na shashlyki.) |
