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.
Co budeš dělat v Den osvobození?
Chystám se jít na pláž.
Once more with the English translation.
Co budeš dělat v Den osvobození?
“What are you doing for Liberation Day?”
Chystám se jít na pláž.
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?”
That's: Co budeš dělat v Den osvobození?
This day celebrates the liberation from German occupation in 1945.
Listen to it again: Co budeš dělat v Den osvobození?, Co budeš dělat v Den osvobození?
This Czech sentence literally translates as “What will you do in Liberation Day?” But it means “What are you doing for Liberation Day?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Chystám se [plan].
This Czech sentence literally translates as “I am preparing myself [plan].” But it means “I’m planning to [plan].”
For example:
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
Chystám se jít na pláž. , Chystám se jít na pláž.
