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.
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:
بتشتغل إيه؟
(beteštaġal ʾeīh?)
أنا فنان.
(ʾanā fannān.)
Listen to it again. Now, with the English translation:
بتشتغل إيه؟
(beteštaġal ʾeīh?)
“What do you do?”
أنا فنان.
(ʾanā fannān.)
“I’m an artist.”
First of all, you need to learn how to say “What do you do?”
That's:
بتشتغل إيه؟
(beteštaġal ʾeīh?)
Listen to it again:
بتشتغل إيه؟,
(beteštaġal ʾeīh?) بتشتغل إيه؟
(beteštaġal ʾeīh?)
Now, how do you answer this question?
This is the pattern you’ll need:
.[your occupation]أنا
(ʾanā {occupation}.)
“I’m a/an [your occupation].”
For example:
“I’m an artist.”
أنا فنان.
(ʾanā fannān.),
أنا فنان.
(ʾanā fannān.)
