Hello, and welcome to today’s
Phrase of the Day.
We’re focusing on gardening phases this
week, and I have…
Nolan! I have Nolan with me,
helping me out.
Nolan, do you see our friends right here?
Yeah.
Hey guys. Hi.
So today’s phrase is,
“did you water the plants?” And how this
works is we encourage you to
replace what you normally say
in English with a phrase in a language
that you’re learning.
In a foreign language that you’re learning.
So, Nolan and I, are going to try it out in
one language, but
you can get the free
Phrase of the Day calendar with the
gardening phrases for the week just by
DMing or comments.
So we’re going to try out,
“did you water the plants?”
If you already have… can you show
our friends the book, Nolan?
If you already have the $35 phrasebook,
then you have access
in the app for that book, and I’ll show you
how to find the phrase.
So, Nolan, grab that random language
generator, and wait
for it to load.
Okay choose a language, Bud.
Whoop, you chose Italian.
Do you speak Italian?
So we’re going to try it out, and if you’re just
getting started,
I hope this encourages you.
So if you already have the book, to get to
this phrase you’re
going to go to “P”
and then you’re gonna go over to the,
to “Plant.”
Okay.
So here it is.
“Did you water the plants?”
Let’s try it out. Are you ready Nolan?
To hear the phrase?
Okay, so how it works is a native speaker
is going to say the phrase
for us, and she’s going to say it slowly,
and we’re gonna
repeat with her, and then she’s gonna say
the full phrase.
So let’s give it a go.
Alright, here it goes.
Just making it louder.
“Hai” “Hai” “innaffiato” “innaffiato”
“le piante?” “le piante?”
“Hai innaffiato le piante?”
I can cross my eyes.
You can cross your eyes? I’m going to go
back because that second word,
I didn’t hear it all the way.
So I need to go back and hear it
a little bit better.
So let’s try it out.
“Hai” “Hai” “innaffiato” “innaffiato”
Do you hear it? “innaffiato”
“innaffiato” “innaffiato”
Can you try it out, Nolan?
He’s just being silly.
“Hai innaffiato”
And then what?
“le piante?” “le piante?” “le piante?”
“Hai innaffiato le piante?”
“Hai innaffiato le piante?”
Now when you start a phrase
you just want to listen to it.
You can just do the slow part and use it.
And then after you do the slow parts for
a while, you’re
gonna want to start
using the full phrase.
I just saw a comment in our
TalkBox.Mom group
from a woman who her younger child
he was just hearing it word at a time and
now he’s like, “Mom,
I want the whole phrase.”
And he’s able to hear the sounds
better and say them better.
So don’t be worried about starting with one
word at a time,
and then doing the full phrase.
To teach your child this
phrase after they come in from doing their
chore for watering,
you can ask them this. And if you
forget how to say it
of course listen to it in the app. Okay.
Thanks for joining us for today’s
Phrase of the Day.
Bye.
Bye.
See you guys later.
