How are you?

Lesson Goal: Learn how to listen for feelings, reasons, and polite responses during an everyday conversation.

Listening for Feelings

When people ask "How are you?", they are checking in on your feelings or health. You do not need to understand every word they say to reply well. Instead, you should listen for adjectives.

Listen closely for words that describe feelings, like well, tired, or sick. If someone says they feel bad or tired, it is important to listen for the reason why (for example, "I worked late"). It is polite to respond with sympathy, such as "I hope you feel better."

Go to the next card to learn the basic vocabulary, then listen to the conversation between Jane and Mike in the Listen tab!
