Hi everyone! I'm Alisha. |
Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
We've found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you'll use in real conversations. |
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to ask where something is located. After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask for directions. |
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Où est le supermarché ? |
Il est là-bas. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Où est le supermarché ? |
“Where is the supermarket?” |
Il est là-bas. |
“It's over there.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "Where is [place]?" |
The pattern is: Où est [place] ? |
"Where is [place]?". |
For example: |
"Where is the supermarket?" |
Où est le supermarché ?, Où est le supermarché ? |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
Il est là-bas. |
"It's over there." |
Listen to it again: Il est là-bas., Il est là-bas. |
This French sentence translates as "He's over there." But it means "It's over there." |
