What this lesson teaches

Talking with others means taking turns: you listen, then you speak. Speaking in whole sentences and learning new words helps people understand you.

Worked example

If a friend says 'I have a dog,' you listen, then take your turn: 'I have a cat. My cat is soft.' That is a good back-and-forth conversation.

Practice questions

  1. Answer in a full sentence: What did you eat today?
  2. Name three things that are fruits.
  3. Take turns: say one thing, then let someone else go.

Conversación, vocabulario y convenciones iniciales

Hablar con otras personas significa tomar turnos: tú escuchas y luego hablas. Hablar en oraciones completas y aprender palabras nuevas ayuda a que las personas te entiendan.

Ejemplo: Si un amigo dice 'Tengo un perro,' tú escuchas y luego tomas tu turno: 'Yo tengo un gato. Mi gato es suave.' Eso es una buena conversación de ida y vuelta.
