Mini dialogues
A dialogue is a short talk between two people. Read each line from right to left, then listen and say it aloud. Find the question first, then the answer; the answer often repeats a word from the question. Small words make the talk smooth. ูู (wa, โandโ) is written joined to the next word, as in ููุฌูู ููู (wa jamฤซl, โand beautifulโ). ููููู (lฤkin, with a long ฤ that is not written, like ููุฐูุง) is โbutโ and ุฃูููุถูุง (สพayแธan) is โalsoโ. Use ุฌููููุฏ (good) and ู ูู ูุชูุงุฒ (excellent) to react; ุนูููู (สฟalฤ) means โonโ.

Act it out. With a friend, or alone with two voices, act out the three talks. Then change the words: use another noun (for example ุงููู ูููุชูุงุญ or ุงูุฏููููุชูุฑ), another colour and another place. Write your new talk of four lines on paper with all the vowels. Read it aloud and check the gender of every adjective.
