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. |
Cosa farai a Pasqua? |
Sto pensando di andare in spiaggia. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Cosa farai a Pasqua? |
“What are you doing for Easter?” |
Sto pensando di andare in spiaggia. |
“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: Cosa farai a Pasqua? |
Listen to it again: Cosa farai a Pasqua?, Cosa farai a Pasqua? |
This Italian sentence literally translates as “What will you do at Easter?” But it means “What are you doing for Easter?” |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
Sto pensando di [plan]. |
This Italian sentence literally translates as “I stay thinking of [plan].” But it means “I’m planning to [plan].” |
For example: |
“I'm planning to go to the beach.” |
Sto pensando di andare in spiaggia., Sto pensando di andare in spiaggia. |
