| Hi everyone, I am Lindsay from Frenchpod101.com |
| In this video, we’ll be talking about the Top 10 Words to Know Before Taking an Airplane. Let’s begin. I just went onto one actually few days ago. |
| 1. Cabine “cabin.” |
| J'ai seulement un gros bagage en cabine. “I only have one large cabin bag.” |
| Yeah, I had a big one myself. |
| 2. Ceinture de sécurité “seat belt.” |
| Il faut attacher votre ceinture de sécurité avant le décollage. “You must fasten your seatbelt before take-off.” |
| Yeah usually, the air hostess, how do you call that? The flight attendant asks you to do that right before take-off. |
| 3. Numéro de siège “seat number.” |
| Quel est ton numéro de siège? “what is your seat number?” |
| So when I took the plane to go to Hawaii, actually I found out that I had the same seat number as another man. So I had to ask him to show me his ticket and yeah, we did have the same. So I had to change my seat, unfortunately. And he got a VIP seat and I did not. |
| 4. Coussin “pillow” |
| Makes me wanna sleep right now. |
| J'ai oublié mon coussin. “I forgot my pillow.” |
| I never bring one in a plane but actually international plane, they give one but small, you know, six-hours flight, they don’t really give one, or ask the attendants to get one. |
| 5. Décalage horaire “time difference” |
| De combien est le décalage horaire entre les USA et la France? “What is the time difference between the US and France?” |
| I believe it’s about nine hours from what I recall. I think my parents told me that or eight hours. I know that with Hawaii, US, from Los Angeles and Hawaii, this is three hours, two hours? More or less? Well, depending on how you see it. |
| 6. Compartiment au-dessus des sièges “overhead storage compartment.” |
| Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place dans le compartiment au-dessus des sièges. “There isn't much space in the overhead storage compartment.” |
| Usually, this is where you put your carry-on luggage and people always fill it out. |
| 7. Sortie de secours “emergency exit.” |
| That is the most scary thing to hear. |
| Où est la sortie de secours? “where is the emergency exit?” |
| They always ask – they always show you this video when you are in a plane and they show you where are the emergency exit. Hopefully, nobody has ever to use them because this is really scary. |
| 8. Siège “seat” |
| Les sièges sont confortables. “These seats are comfortable.” |
| Well, usually on planes, the seats maybe if you are first class, they are comfortable but if you’re not, I am not sure they are. |
| 9. Hôtesse de l'air “flight attendant” |
| L'hôtesse de l'air est gentille. “The flight attendant is nice.” |
| Yeah, I just flew with Hawaiian airlines and they were really nice. |
| 10. Pilote “pilot” |
| Mon cousin veut devenir pilote. “My cousin wants to become a pilot.” |
| I am not sure mine wants to. |
