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: |
คุณทำงานอะไร (khun tham ngaan à-rai) |
ผมเป็นศิลปิน (phǒm bpen sǐn-lá-bpin) |
Listen to it again. Now, with the English translation: |
คุณทำงานอะไร (khun tham ngaan à-rai) |
“What do you do?” |
ผมเป็นศิลปิน (phǒm bpen sǐn-lá-bpin) |
“I’m an artist.” |
First of all, you need to learn how to say “What do you do?” |
That's: คุณทำงานอะไร (khun tham ngaan à-rai) |
Listen to it again: คุณทำงานอะไร (khun tham ngaan à-rai), คุณทำงานอะไร (khun tham ngaan à-rai) |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
This is the pattern you’ll need: |
ผมเป็น[your occupation]. (phǒm bpen {occupation}.) |
“I’m a/an [your occupation].” |
For example: |
“I’m an artist.” |
ผมเป็นศิลปิน (phǒm bpen sǐn-lá-bpin), ผมเป็นศิลปิน (phǒm bpen sǐn-lá-bpin) |
