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:
Anh làm nghề gì?
Tôi là nghệ sĩ.
Listen to it again. Now, with the English translation:
Anh làm nghề gì?
“What do you do?”
Tôi là nghệ sĩ.
“I’m an artist.”
First of all, you need to learn how to say “What do you do?”
That's: Anh làm nghề gì?
Listen to it again: Anh làm nghề gì?, Anh làm nghề gì?
Now, how do you answer this question?
This is the pattern you’ll need:
Tôi là [your occupation].
“I’m a/an [your occupation].”
For example:
“I’m an artist.”
Tôi là nghệ sĩ., Tôi là nghệ sĩ.
