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.
In this lesson, you’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question, "What are you going to talk about?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to introduce a topic you want to talk about.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Hvad skal du snakke om?
Jeg skal snakke om mine hobbyer.
Once more with the English translation.
Hvad skal du snakke om?
“What are you going to talk about?”
Jeg skal snakke om mine hobbyer.
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you going to talk about?”
That's: Hvad skal du snakke om?
Listen to it again: Hvad skal du snakke om?, Hvad skal du snakke om?
“What are you going to talk about?”
This Danish sentence literally translates as “What shall you talk about?”
But it means “What are you going to talk about?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Jeg skal snakke om [topic].
“I'm going to talk about [topic].”
This Danish sentence literally translates as “I shall talk about [topic].”
But it means “I'm going to talk about [topic].”.
For example:
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
Jeg skal snakke om mine hobbyer., Jeg skal snakke om mine hobbyer.
