Lesson Transcript

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 ask and answer the question, "How do you say this?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask someone how a word is pronounced.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Je, unasema aje hivi?
Ni "pahali pa kuegesha gari."
Once more with the English translation.
Je, unasema aje hivi?
“How do you say this?”
Ni "pahali pa kuegesha gari."
"It's 'parking lot.'”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How do you say this?”
That's: Je, unasema aje hivi?
Listen to it again: Je, unasema aje hivi?, Je, unasema aje hivi?
“How do you say this?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Ni [ ].
“It's [ ].”
For example:
"It's 'parking lot.'”
Ni "pahali pa kuegesha gari.", Ni "pahali pa kuegesha gari."
