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 good at?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about what you’re good at doing. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Waar ben je goed in? |
Ik ben goed in talen. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Waar ben je goed in? |
“What are you good at?” |
Ik ben goed in talen. |
“I'm good at languages.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you good at?” |
That's: Waar ben je goed in? |
Listen to it again: Waar ben je goed in?, Waar ben je goed in? |
This Dutch sentence literally translates as “Where are you good in?” But it means “What are you good at?”. |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
Ik ben goed in [skill]. |
This Dutch sentence literally translates as “I am good in [skill].” But it means “I'm good at [skill].”. |
For example: |
“I'm good at languages.” |
Ik ben goed in talen., Ik ben goed in talen. |
