| 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. |
| O que você vai fazer no Carnaval? |
| Estou planejando ir para a praia. |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| O que você vai fazer no Carnaval? |
| “What are you doing for Carnival?” |
| Estou planejando ir para a praia. |
| “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: O que você vai fazer no Carnaval? |
| Listen to it again: O que você vai fazer no Carnaval?, O que você vai fazer no Carnaval? |
| This Portuguese sentence literally translates as “What you will do on Carnaval?” But it means “What are you doing for Carnival?”. |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| Estou planejando [plan]. |
| This Portuguese sentence literally translates as “Am planning [plan].” But it means |
| “I’m planning to [plan].”. |
| For example: |
| “I'm planning to go to the beach.” |
| Estou planejando ir para a praia., Estou planejando ir para a praia. |
