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.
Bạn giỏi về lĩnh vực nào?
Tôi giỏi về ngôn ngữ.
Once more with the English translation.
Bạn giỏi về lĩnh vực nào?
“What are you good at?”
Tôi giỏi về ngôn ngữ.
“I'm good at languages.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you good at?”
That's: Bạn giỏi về lĩnh vực nào?
Listen to it again: Bạn giỏi về lĩnh vực nào?, Bạn giỏi về lĩnh vực nào?
This Vietnamese sentence literally translates as “You are good at what?”
But it means “What are you good at?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Tôi giỏi về [skill].
This Vietnamese sentence literally translates as “I am good about [skill].”
But it means “I'm good at [skill].”
For example:
“I'm good at languages.”
Tôi giỏi về ngôn ngữ., Tôi giỏi về ngôn ngữ.
