Lesson Transcript

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!
