1.1.6 Zadatak 3: Upoznajmo se

🔊 Listen to the dialogue between James and Luka. They are getting to know each other better. While you listen to their conversation, make notes on what information Luka gives to James.

Transkripcija
James: Luka, tko je to?
Luka: Ovo su moj tata, moja mama, moj brat i moja sestra
james: A kako se zove tvoj tata?
Luka: Zove se Tomislav.
James: A što je tvoj tata po zanimanju? Kakav je tvoj tata?
Luka: On je arhitekt. Jako je vrijedan i dobar.
James: A tvoja mama? Kako se ona zove?
Luka: Ona se zove Tamara.
James: Tamara je baš lijepo ime. A što je ona po zanimanju? Kakva je tvoja mama?
Luka: Ona je profesorica. Jako je vrijedna, dobra i draga.
James: A tvoja sestra, kako se ona zove?
Luka: Zove se Ema. Ona ja također studentica. Jako je dobra i draga.
James: A tvoj brat?
Luka: Zove se Nikola. On je profesor. On je vrijedan i strog.
Now look at the information that James wrote down about Luka, and what he found out about his parents and friends. Did James get everything right? Would you change and/or add any information? Read through the text carefully and mark all the words that are wrong (if any).

What do you know about Luka? Tell us your version about Luka.

Finally, do you remember what James said when he learned the name of Luka’s mother?
