01

Маргааш үдээс хойш гурван цагт уулзаж болох уу?

Can we meet at three tomorrow afternoon?

02

Тэр үед өөр уулзалттай. Таван цагт ямар вэ?

I have another appointment then. Would five work?

03

Таван цагт болно, гэхдээ надад гучхан минут байна.

Five works, but I only have thirty minutes.

04

Тэгвэл онлайнаар уулзъя. Явах цагаа хэмнэж чадна.

Then let's meet online. That will save travel time.

05

Сайхан санаа байна. Өнөө орой холбоосыг явуулъя.

Good idea. I'll send you the link tonight.

06

Баярлалаа. Тэгэхээр маргааш таваас тав хагас хүртэл онлайнаар уулзана.

Thank you. So, tomorrow from five to five thirty, online.

Conversation practice

Listen, then hide your lines and answer aloud. Read the meaning only when needed. Try the changed situation before revealing a model response. These speaking tasks are self-practice, not automatically graded.

Change the situation

You cannot meet at five. Suggest an online meeting at six instead.

One possible response

Таван цагт болохгүй. Оронд нь зургаан цагт онлайнаар уулзаж болох уу?

Five doesn't work for me. Could we meet online at six instead?

Did you include all the changed details? Now switch roles and ask one follow-up question of your own.

Тэр үед өөр уулзалттай. Таван цагт ямар вэ?

Up to 20 seconds per recording. Recordings are not uploaded. For longer answers, practice in sections.
