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 apologizing to someone. After watching this video, you'll be able to apologize and say what you're apologizing for.
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Ek is jammer dat ek laat is.
Moenie bekommerd wees nie.
Once more with the English translation.
Ek is jammer dat ek laat is.
“I'm sorry for being late.”
Moenie bekommerd wees nie.
“Don't worry about it.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "I'm sorry for [reason]."
The pattern is: Ek is jammer dat ek [reason].
"I'm sorry for [reason].".
For example:
"I'm sorry for being late."
Ek is jammer dat ek laat is., Ek is jammer dat ek laat is.
Now, how do you respond that it's okay?
Moenie bekommerd wees nie.
"Don't worry about it."
Listen to it again: Moenie bekommerd wees nie., Moenie bekommerd wees nie.
"Don't worry about it."
