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. |
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?) |
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?) |
“What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?” |
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.) |
“I'm planning to go to the beach.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?” |
That's: |
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?) |
Chuseok is a three-day harvest festival celebrated when there is a full moon on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. |
Listen to it again: |
추석에 어디 가요?, 추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?, Chuseoge eodi gayo?) |
This Korean sentence literally translates as “Where are you going during Korean Thanksgiving?” But it means “What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?". |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
[plan]ㄹ 계획이에요. ([plan]l gyehoegieyo.) |
“I’m planning to [plan].” |
For example: |
“I'm planning to go to the beach.” |
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요., 바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo., Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.) |
