Full transcript
Since our last appointment three weeks ago, how has your mood, energy, and sleep been overall this week?
Bado ninahisi uchovu mwingi na hamu ya kula imepungua. Nimekuwa nikiamka usiku mara kadhaa bila kurudi kulala.
Are you still taking the sertraline, fifty milligrams every morning, and have you noticed any side effects like nausea or headaches?
Ndiyo, ninameza dawa hiyo kila asubuhi kama ulivyoniambia. Lakini nimekuwa nikisikia kichefuchefu kidogo mara baada ya kumeza.
Nausea and mild headaches usually settle within two weeks. Have you had any thoughts of harming yourself or feeling that life isn't worth living?
Hapana, sijawahi kufikiria kujidhuru mwenyewe. Lakini wakati mwingine ninahisi kama hakuna maana ya kuendelea na mambo.
That's reassuring to hear. I'd like to refer you to a psychologist at Headspace in Frankston under a Medicare mental health care plan.
Hilo linasikika vizuri sana. Je, itanigharimu pesa ngapi, na nitasubiri muda gani kabla ya kuonana na mtaalamu huyo?
The plan covers ten sessions, and if the clinic bulk-bills, there's no out-of-pocket cost for you at all. Your first appointment should be available within about two weeks.
Sawa, hilo ni nafuu kubwa. Nitaendelea kumeza dawa kila siku kama unavyoshauri.
Please keep taking the sertraline every day, and we'll review your progress in four weeks. If things feel worse before then, call Lifeline straight away.
Asante sana daktari. Nimeelewa vizuri, na nitawasiliana na Lifeline ikiwa hali itazidi kuwa mbaya kabla ya hapo.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- medicareTumia neno 'Medicare' kama lilivyo kwa Kiingereza, kwani halina tafsiri rasmi ya Kiswahili.
- mental health care planSema 'mpango wa huduma ya afya ya akili unaotolewa na daktari kupitia Medicare'.
- lifelineSema 'Lifeline' kama jina la shirika, ukieleza ni huduma ya simu ya msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.

How the test works
Practice dialogue written to the CCL specification (two speakers, segments of 35 words or fewer, about 300 words). It is a practice text, not a NAATI test paper, and the AI score is this site's estimate, not a NAATI result. All Swahili dialogues · All languages
