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 good at?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about what you’re good at doing.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?)
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.)
Once more with the English translation.
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?)
“What are you good at?”
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.)
“I'm good at languages.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you good at?”
That's:
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?)
Listen to it again:
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं?, आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?, aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?)
This Hindi sentence literally translates as “You which thing in good are?” But it means “What are you good at?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
मैं [skill] में अच्छा/अच्छी हूँ। (main [skill] men acchaa/acchii huun.)
This Hindi sentence literally translates as “I [skill] in good am.” But it means “I'm good at [skill].”.
For example:
“I'm good at languages.”
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ।, मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun., main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.)
