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.
De quoi allez-vous parler ?
Je vais parler de mes passe-temps.
Once more with the English translation.
De quoi allez-vous parler ?
“What are you going to talk about?”
Je vais parler de mes passe-temps.
“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: De quoi allez-vous parler ?
Listen to it again: De quoi allez-vous parler ?, De quoi allez-vous parler ?
“What are you going to talk about?”
This French sentence literally translates as “What about going you talk?”
But it means “What are you going to talk about?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Je vais parler de [topic].
“I'm going to talk about [topic].”
For example:
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
Je vais parler de mes passe-temps., Je vais parler de mes passe-temps.
