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