Hello.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton
And, today we're going to have a dialog between you and me.
We have two names up here that we're going to be using.
Two people having a conversation.
And, a light, easy conversation.
Two people meeting for the first time.
Their names are Terry and Kelly.
Terry and Kelly are nice names.
They're unisex.
That means that they could be for a man or a woman.
So, let's get started.
Now, as we begin ...
we're going to go through each one of these ...
conversational pieces and repeat,
I just want you to repeat what I say.
Then we're going to go through that again ...
and I will be Terry ...
you'll be Kelly ...
and we'll go through them again ...
and we'll switch.
Okay, are you ready?
Hello.
Hi!
How are you?
Now, you should be repeating what I'm saying.
I'm fine, and you?
I'm good.
Do you speak English?
A little bit. Are you American?
Yes, I am.
Where are you from?
I'm from California.
My name is Kelly.
Nice to meet you, Kelly.
My name is Terry.
Nice to meet you too, Terry.
Okay.
Now you've had the opportunity ...
to repeat everything one-time.
Now, we're going to have a conversation.
You are going to be Kelly.
I am going to be Terry.
Okay? So, I'm not going to speak ...
when the name Kelly comes up.
You speak.
I'm going to speak for Terry.
When we get to the end, we'll switch.
Are you ready?
Hi!
How are you?
I'm fine, and you?
I'm good. Do you speak English?
A little bit. Are you American?
Yes, I am.
Where are you from?
I'm from California. My name is Kelly.
Nice to meet you, Kelly. My name is Terry.
Nice to meet you too, Terry.
Okay ...
So, that went rather well, I think.
Now, of course ...
You can go back to the beginning of this video ...
And, play this over as many times as you would like.
And, stop it wherever you want ...
if you're having a sticking point.
There are going to be many, many more of these dialogues ...
for us to go through.
So, now we're going to switch.
I am Kelly.
You are Terry.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Hi!
How are you?
I'm fine, and you?
I'm fine,
and you?
I'm good.
Do you speak English?
A little bit. Are you American?
Yes, I am.
Where are you from?
I'm from California.
My name is Kelly.
Nice to meet you Kelly. My name is Terry.
Nice to meet you too, Terry.
Okay.
So, we went through the dialog.
I hope that was something ...
that was rather pleasurable for you.
Now, let's go up to the top ...
and do it one more time.
All right?
Okay, here we go.
