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, we’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question “How's your mother?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about well-being and ask how someone is doing.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Habari ya mama yako?
Ako sawa.
Once more with the English translation.
Habari ya mama yako?
“How's your mother?”
Ako sawa.
“She's fine.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?”
That's: Habari ya mama yako?
Listen to it again: Habari ya mama yako?, Habari ya mama yako?
“How's your mother?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Ako {state of well-being}.
“She's [state of well-being].”
For example:
“She's fine.”
Ako sawa., Ako sawa.
