Hi. Welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
Today, you and me are going to have a conversation...
as two people taking a trip to the store.
Are you ready? Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Lyman, where are you going?
I'm going to the store. I need to buy some things.
Really? I need to get a few things too. Mind if I tag along?
Of course not, Kelly. I always enjoy your company.
Well, thank you. I enjoy hanging around with you too.
Are you ready to go now, or do you need a little time to get ready?
I'm ready to go now. How are we going to get there?
I'm going to drive. It looks like it might rain.
Great Lyman. I didn't want to carry my bags home anyway.
Yes, I know what you mean. I don't like doing that either.
Thank goodness it looks like rain, or we'd be walking.
Not necessarily, Kelly.
What do you mean?
I probably would have driven my car even on a sunny day.
Yeah, I'm kind of lazy that way too.
What do you need at the store?
I'm going to make some stew tonight. I need more vegetables.
Okay. We can stop at the supermarket on our way back from the hardware store.
What do you need at the hardware store?
Not much; a light switch, a small can of paint, just some odds and ends.
Let's begin our first conversation.
speak out loud as Kelly. Just listen when Lyman speaks.
