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.
Sobre o que você vai falar?
Eu vou falar sobre os meus hobbies.
Once more with the English translation.
Sobre o que você vai falar?
“What are you going to talk about?”
Eu vou falar sobre os meus hobbies.
“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: Sobre o que você vai falar?
Listen to it again: Sobre o que você vai falar?, Sobre o que você vai falar?
“What are you going to talk about?”
This Portuguese sentence literally translates as “About what will you talk?”
But it means “What are you going to talk about?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Eu vou falar sobre [topic].
“I'm going to talk about [topic].”
This Portuguese sentence literally translates as “I will talk about [topic].”
But it means “I'm going to talk about [topic].”.
For example:
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
Eu vou falar sobre os meus hobbies., Eu vou falar sobre os meus hobbies.
