| 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. |
| Kamu mau melakukan apa waktu Tahun Baru Imlek? |
| Aku berencana pergi ke pantai. |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| Kamu mau melakukan apa waktu Tahun Baru Imlek? |
| “What are you doing for Lunar New Year?” |
| Aku berencana pergi ke pantai. |
| “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: Kamu mau melakukan apa waktu Tahun Baru Imlek? |
| Lunar New Year marks the new year according to the traditional Chinese calendar and is typically celebrated by the Indonesian Chinese. |
| Listen to it again: Kamu mau melakukan apa waktu Tahun Baru Imlek? , Kamu mau melakukan apa waktu Tahun Baru Imlek? |
| This Indonesian sentence literally translates as “You want to do what when Chinese New Year?” But it means “What are you doing for Lunar New Year?” |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| Aku berencana [plan]. |
| “I’m planning to [plan].” |
