Hello. Welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
In this lesson you and me are going to have a conversation as...
2 people discussing buying shirts in a clothing store.
Remember, you will be speaking the role of Kelly...
throughout both of our conversations that we're going to have.
Are you ready? Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Excuse me.
Oh, hello. May I help you?
Yes. Can I see that shirt on the top shelf please?
Now remember, you must repeat what I'm saying.
Sure. Here you are.
Thank you. How much does it cost?
Any words you see in red are words that you might want to look up in your translator, to help you understand.
That one is 50 dollars.
Fifty dollars? That's too much.
Well then, how about this one? It's on sale for only 35 dollars.
No. It's not my style. I don't like a that one.
What do you think about the shirt, in the display window, on the left?
Hmm... Yes, it does look rather nice.
It's very similar to the more expensive one that you liked.
I do like it. How much is it?
It's 30 dollars.
Oh, my. I like the shirt and the price.
Is this color okay, or would you like a different color?
Yes. The color is fine. Blue is my favorite.
All right. Is there anything else that you're interested in seeing today?
As a matter of fact there is, but I want to look around a bit first.
Okay. Take your time. I'll be right here when your ready.
Let's begin our next conversation!
You...
speak out loud as Kelly.
Just listen when Lyman speaks.
