Read the dialogue

Audio for this lesson is coming soon. For now, read the dialogue and its translation.

  1. A

    Виктор Иванович, неужели тренировка будет? На улице же ливень!

    Viktor Ivanovich, are we really training today? It's pouring out there!

  2. B

    Будет, несмотря на дождь. В субботу полуфинал, а там тоже может лить.

    We are, despite the rain. The semi-final's on Saturday, and it might pour then too.

  3. A

    А может, вместо того чтобы мокнуть, посмотрим видео их матчей?

    Or maybe, instead of getting soaked, we could watch videos of their matches?

  4. B

    Идея хорошая, соперника изучить надо. Только одно другому не мешает.

    Good idea, we do need to study our opponent. But one doesn't rule out the other.

  5. A

    В смысле? И тренировка, и видео?

    Meaning? Both practice and videos?

  6. B

    Именно: час на поле, потом видео. А поскольку идея твоя, записи ищешь ты.

    Exactly: an hour on the pitch, then videos. And since it was your idea, you're finding the recordings.
