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 kind of movies do you like?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about movies and ask other people about their favorite kinds of movies.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Какие фильмы Вам нравятся? (Kakiye fil'my Vam nravyatsya?)
Я люблю ужасы. (Ya lyublyu uzhasy.)
Once more with the English translation.
Какие фильмы Вам нравятся? (Kakiye fil'my Vam nravyatsya?)
“What kind of movies do you like?”
Я люблю ужасы. (Ya lyublyu uzhasy.)
“I like horror.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What kind of movies do you like?”
That's:
Какие фильмы Вам нравятся? (Kakiye fil'my Vam nravyatsya?)
Listen to it again:
Какие фильмы Вам нравятся?, Какие фильмы Вам нравятся? (Kakiye fil'my Vam nravyatsya?, Kakiye fil'my Vam nravyatsya?)
This Russian sentence translates as "What movies do you like?" But it means “What kind of movies do you like?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Я люблю [type of movie]. (Ya lyublyu [type of movie].)
“I like [type of movie].”
For example:
“I like horror.”
Я люблю ужасы., Я люблю ужасы. (Ya lyublyu uzhasy., Ya lyublyu uzhasy.)
