DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 🎉📚 (Day # 27)

PHIL: What time is that soccer game on? I thought it started 
at noon.
JACK: We must have had the wrong time. Oh, well … soccer’s not my 
favorite sport anyway. I much prefer basketball.
PHIL: Oh, really? I thought your favorite sport was tennis! I’m a big
fan of basketball, too.
JACK: How about a game sometime?
PHIL: Sure thing! Why don’t we go shoot some hoops now since the 
soccer game isn’t on?
JACK: Excellent idea. Let’s go.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• What time is that soccer game on? means “When does the soccer game start?” 
“What time” plus something plus “on” is a common expression used to ask about the 
start time of a TV show or a movie.
• I much prefer basketball here means “I like basketball a lot more than soccer.” Notice 
how “much” is stressed to show that the speaker really likes basketball.
• Oh, really? Notice the rising intonation on “really.” This shows that the speaker is 
surprised. He thought that Jack liked tennis the best.
• I’m a big fan of basketball is a way of saying “I like basketball very much” (“to be a 
fan of” is a casual expression used to describe something you really like).
• How about a game here means “Let’s play a basketball game.”
• Sure thing! This is a casual expression used to mean “OK.”
• Shoot some hoops means to play an informal game of basketball. This is a casual 
expression used between friends

Siguiendo con la interacción en clase, una expresión para solicitar aclaraciones al profesor podría ser "¿Podría explicarme nuevamente cómo se hace esto?", que se traduce como "Could you explain to me again how to do this?".

Hablemos ahora sobre el trabajo en equipo. Una expresión útil es "Dos cabezas piensan mejor que una", que se traduce como "Two heads are better than one". Recuerda aprovechar la colaboración y diversidad de pensamiento en tu grupo de estudio.

Finalmente, la expresión de gratitud. Cuando alguien te ayude, asegúrate de expresar tu agradecimiento. Una forma común de decir "gracias" en español es "Muchas gracias", que se traduce como "Thank you very much".

Your Digital Nomad Journey

The allure of remote work and constant travel beckons. But trading your cubicle for a co-working space in Bali requires planning. Here's how to embark on your digital nomad adventure:

1. Skill Up & Find Your Niche: Can your talents translate to remote work?  Web developers, writers, and virtual assistants are in high demand. Hone your skills and identify a niche market you can serve virtually.

2.  Embrace Remote Work:  Many traditional jobs now offer remote options.  Discuss flexibility with your employer or explore remote work platforms. If freelancing, build a strong portfolio and secure clients before taking the leap.

3.  Financials: Be Ruthless:  Living on the road can be surprisingly affordable, but research your desired destinations.  Factor in visas, co-living, and travel costs.  Build a healthy savings cushion to cover any hiccups.

4.  Tech is Your Lifeline: Invest in reliable equipment - a sturdy laptop, noise-cancelling headphones, and a universal adapter are crucial.  Don't forget secure cloud storage and a VPN for safe internet access on the go.

5.  Master Time Zones:  Working across continents requires discipline.  Schedule calls considering time zone differences and utilize tools like calendar apps to avoid confusion.

6.  Embrace Community:  Combat loneliness by joining online digital nomad communities and co-working spaces in your destinations.  These connections are invaluable for support and advice.

7.  Be Flexible & Adaptable:  Expect unexpected internet outages, cultural differences, and travel mishaps.  Maintain a positive attitude and problem-solving skills are key for a smooth journey.

Remember, the digital nomad life isn't all sunsets and beaches. It requires hard work, discipline, and a willingness to adapt. But for those seeking freedom and adventure, the rewards are endless.
