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 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.
Unafanya nini sikukuu ya mashujaa?
Najipanga kwenda pwani.
Once more with the English translation.
Unafanya nini sikukuu ya mashujaa?
“What are you doing for Heroes' Day?”
Najipanga kwenda pwani.
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?”
That's: Unafanya nini sikukuu ya mashujaa?
This holiday takes place on October 20 every year and honors those who fought for independence and afterwards helped establish Kenya as an independent nation.
Listen to it again: Unafanya nini sikukuu ya mashujaa?, Unafanya nini sikukuu ya mashujaa?
“What are you doing for Heroes' Day?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Najipanga [plan].
“I’m planning to [plan].”
For example:
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
Najipanga kwenda pwani., Najipanga kwenda pwani.
