| 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. |
| In che cosa se la cava bene? |
| Me la cavo bene con le lingue. |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| In che cosa se la cava bene? |
| “What are you good at?” |
| Me la cavo bene con le lingue. |
| “I'm good at languages.” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you good at?” |
| That's: In che cosa se la cava bene? |
| Listen to it again: In che cosa se la cava bene?, In che cosa se la cava bene? |
| This Italian sentence literally translates as “In what do you get out yourself good?” But it means “What are you good at?”. |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| Me la cavo bene con [skill]. |
| This Italian sentence literally translates as “I get out my self good with [skill].” But it means “I'm good at [skill].” |
| For example: |
| “I'm good at languages.” |
| Me la cavo bene con le lingue., Me la cavo bene con le lingue. |
