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, we’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question “How's your mother?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about well-being and ask how someone is doing.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Jak się czuje twoja mama?
Ona czuje się dobrze.
Once more with the English translation.
Jak się czuje twoja mama?
“How's your mother?”
Ona czuje się dobrze.
“She's fine.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?”
That's: Jak się czuje twoja mama?
Listen to it again: Jak się czuje twoja mama?, Jak się czuje twoja mama?
This Polish sentence literally means “How is feeling your mother?”
But it translates as “How's your mother?” in English.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Ona czuje się {state of well-being}.
This Polish sentence literally translates as “She is feeling [state of well-being].”
But it means “She’s [state of well-being].” in English.
For example:
“She's fine.”
Ona czuje się dobrze., Ona czuje się dobrze.
