Почему?

Why?
- * -
Why do you ask?
- * -
Моей племяннице хотелось бы провести там лето.
- * -
My niece would like to spend the summer there.
- * -
Она говорит по-испански довольно хорошо.
- * -
She speaks Spanish pretty well.
- * -
И ей хотелось бы провести лето в Мексике.
- * -
And she’d like to spend the summer in Mexico.
- * -
Вы предлагаете «Ну, если она не сможет найти работу»
- * -
Well, if she can’t find a job.
- * -
Тогда, может быть, она сможет остановиться
- * -
Then maybe she can stay
- * -
С моей женой и со мной.
- * -
Listen and repeat.
- * -
With my wife and me.
- * -
Say «Она сможет остановиться с моей женой и мной».
- * -
She can stay with my wife and me.
- * -
Только что мы купили новый кондоминиум.
- * -
We just bought a new condo.
- * -
Она может остаться с нами.
- * -
She can stay with us.
- * -
С моей женой и мной.
- * -
With my wife and me.
- * -
That’s very nice of you.
- * -
That means «это очень любезно с вашей стороны».
- * -
Сейчас вы должны идти на одно важное собрание. Как она пожелает вам удачи?
- * -
Good luck!
- * -
Now suppose that your name is Daniel. You arrive at your friend Mary’s place. Answer when she speaks to you. Answer her.
- * -
Hi Daniel, come in.
- * -
Hi, Mary.
- * -
How are you?
- * -
Fine thanks.
- * -
Fine thanks and you?
- * -
Not bad. Would you like something to drink? A coke a beer?
- * -
Say that you’re really thirsty.
- * -
I’m really thirsty.
- * -
Say that you’d like a beer if she has one.
- * -
I’d like a beer if you have one.
- * -
Of course, it’s hot today. I’ll have a too.
- * -
You go into the kitchen together. She gets you both a beer listen.
- * -
Let’s sit here in the kitchen if you don’t mind.
- * -
You know her brother too.
- * -
Ask her how he is.
- * -
How’s your brother?
- * -
Ask what he’s doing now.
- * -
What’s he doing now.
- * -
He’s an engineer and he lives in San Francisco with his girlfriend. He really likes California. And your family?
- * -
Say that your sister is a doctor.
