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