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 use when talking with friends. After watching this video, you’ll be able to have a casual conversation with a friend, and to say something is “super.”
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Слышь, глянь какая машина! (Slysh', glyan' kakaya mashina!)
Вау, какая крутая! (Vau, takaya krutaya!)
Once more with the English translation.
Слышь, глянь какая машина! (Slysh', glyan' kakaya mashina!)
“Hey, look at that car!”
Вау, какая крутая! (Vau, takaya krutaya!)
“Wow, that's super cool!”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “Hey, look at that car!”
That's:
Слышь, глянь какая машина! (Slysh', glyan' kakaya mashina!)
Listen to it again:
Слышь, глянь какая машина!, Слышь, глянь какая машина! (Slysh', glyan' kakaya mashina!, Slysh', glyan' kakaya mashina!)
This Russian sentence literally translates as "Listen, look what a car!” But it means “Hey, look at that car!”
Now, how do you respond to this?
First of all, you’ll need to learn how to say “wow” . That’s
вау, вау (vau, vau)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “That’s super [adjective].”
The pattern is:
Такая [adjective]. (Takaya [adjective].)
This Russian sentence literally translates as "So [adjective].” But it means “That's super [adjective].”
For example:
“Wow, that's super cool!”
Вау, какая крутая!, Вау, какая крутая! (Vau, takaya krutaya!, Vau, takaya krutaya!)
