| INTRODUCTION |
| There is so much to do and see in France and there are times when access to some must-see places requires an admission ticket. So today we're going to work on getting you through the gate as we’ll look at buying tickets. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| In France, "a ticket" is un ticket |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: un ticket |
| And now let's hear it once again: un ticket |
| In French, “one ticket please” is Un ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Un ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: Un ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Now let's hear it once again: Un ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| The first word, un, means “one." |
| Let's hear it one more time: un |
| Next, we have ticket, which in French is “ticket." |
| Un ticket |
| Un ticket |
| So to recap here, we have Un ticket. Literally this means “a ticket” or “one ticket.” |
| Let's look at the next word, which you know very well by now, s'il vous plaît, and it means “please.” |
| So all together, we have Un ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Literally, this means “a ticket please” or “one ticket please.” |
| We’ll work on getting tickets for the rest of the party now. |
| Let’s recap numbers from one to ten. This will be fun! |
| “one” - un |
| “two”- deux |
| “three”- trois |
| “four” - quatre |
| “five” - cinq |
| “six” - six |
| “seven” - sept |
| “eight” - huit |
| “nine” - neuf |
| “ten” – dix |
| So “three tickets please” in French is tre Trois tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Trois tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: Trois tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Now let's hear it once again: Trois tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| The first word, trois, means “three." |
| Let's hear it one more time: trois |
| Nex, we have tickets, which is “tickets." |
| So to recap here, we have trois tickets, literally this means “three tickets." |
| Very easy, right? So let's take a look at the next word, which you know, is s'il vous plaît, and that means “please.” |
| So all together again, we have: Trois tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| This means “three tickets please." |
| Now you can have a lot of friends and you want five tickets at the same time. In French, it is Cinq tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Cinq tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Cinq tickets, s'il vous plaît. |
| Very often you may be asked to show your ticket, not only at the entrance, so keep these admissions with you until you leave the place you are visiting. |
| In those cases, they will ask you: Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| This means “Your ticket, please.” |
| The first word is votre, and it’s the formal “your,” processive adjective, or “you.” |
| Let's hear it one more time: votre |
| And then you have “ticket,” ticket. |
| So let’s break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît. |
| So all together we have Votre ticket, s'il vous plaît, and that literally means “your ticket please.” |
| Alright, that’s it for today. Thank you for listening, bye-bye! |
