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.
Today, we’ll learn conversational phrases about occupations. After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about your job and ask what somebody does for a living.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue:
Che cosa fai?
Sono un artista.
Listen to it again. Now, with the English translation:
Che cosa fai?
“What do you do?”
Sono un artista.
“I’m an artist.”
First of all, you need to learn how to say “What do you do?”
That's: Che cosa fai?
Listen to it again: Che cosa fai?, Che cosa fai?
Now, how do you answer this question?
This is the pattern you’ll need:
Sono un/uno [your occupation].
“I’m a/an [your occupation].”
For example:
“I’m an artist.”
Sono un artista., Sono un artista.
