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 comment on a joke. After watching this video, you’ll be able to compliment or criticize anyone on their sense of humor.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
¿Por qué esta triste el libro de matemáticas? Porque tiene muchos problemas.
¡Jaja, eres tan gracioso!
Once more with the English translation.
¿Por qué esta triste el libro de matemáticas? Porque tiene muchos problemas.
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
¡Jaja, eres tan gracioso!
“Haha, you're so funny!”
First of all, let’s listen to the joke again “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
That's: ¿Por qué esta triste el libro de matemáticas? Porque tiene muchos problemas.
Listen to it again: ¿Por qué esta triste el libro de matemáticas? Porque tiene muchos problemas., ¿Por qué esta triste el libro de matemáticas? Porque tiene muchos problemas.
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s jaja, jaja
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is:
Eres tan [adjective].
“You're so [adjective].”
For example:
