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 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.
מה אתה עושה בראש השנה?
(Ma atah ose be-Rosh Ha-Shanah?)
אני מתכנן לנסוע לחוף הים.
(Ani metakhnen linsoa le-khof ha-yam.)
Once more with the English translation.
מה אתה עושה בראש השנה?
(Ma atah ose be-Rosh Ha-Shanah?)
“What are you doing for Rosh Hashanah?”
אני מתכנן לנסוע לחוף הים.
(Ani metakhnen linsoa le-khof ha-yam.)
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you doing for Rosh Hashanah?”
That's:
מה אתה עושה בראש השנה?
(Ma atah ose be-Rosh Ha-Shanah?)
Listen to it again:
מה אתה עושה בראש השנה?, מה אתה עושה בראש השנה?
(Ma atah ose be-Rosh Ha-Shanah?, Ma atah ose be-Rosh Ha-Shanah?)
“What are you doing for Rosh Hashanah?"
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
אני מתכנן [plan].
(Ani metakhnen [plan].)
“I’m planning to [plan].”
For example:
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
אני מתכנן לנסוע לחוף הים., אני מתכנן לנסוע לחוף הים.
(Ani metakhnen linsoa le-khof ha-yam., Ani metakhnen linsoa le-khof ha-yam.)
