Focus: Daily conversation

You're now going to start learning the most common phrasal verbs in different daily contexts. Remember again that these are important to learn in order to improve your listening comprehension of native speakers.

Do NOT try to use them yourself immediately. As you begin to hear and understand them more easily, you will naturally start using them.

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson and do the exercises several times.

Write down each phrasal verb and its ordinary synonym in your notes.

Only check the translation into your own language if absolutely necessary, and don't write the translation down.

Step 2:

Now, download the ZIP file below.

Use the Audio files to listen to and repeat each line of the two dialogues out loud several times.

Try to listen and repeat without looking at the accompanying PDFs.

Step 3:

Now, Download the Exercise PDFs below and fill in the gaps.

Use the transcripts you downloaded in step 2 to check your answers.

Step 4:

Use the Audio files for a transcription exercise: Listen & write down (or type out) each line of the two dialogues.

Then, compare what you've written down with the transcripts.

Step 5:

Now, take the quiz for further practice.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
