Hello, and welcome to begin aFrench conversation eight. Today will be
practicing making a hotel reservation. Startingtoday, we won't spend too much time
on those easy words we've already coveredseveral times, like excusemoi, excuse me,

(01:11):
we yes, thank you, mercy, and you're welcome Duria. So
let's jump right into the conversation.It starts with a tourist saying excuse,
excuse m jean reservation a vivoux dechambre de libre. Excuse excuse me,

(01:42):
I don't have a reservation. Doyou have any rooms available? We already
know that the I have form ofthe verb avoir is j. We make
it negative by adding nou. Whenwe putnu in front of a vowel like
eh, we drop the e stickan apostrophe on and we get nez as

(02:05):
in jean net. But that's onlypart of making things negative. In French.
Think of it as a sandwich.In the middle of the verb,
and on either side are neu andpa. So I don't have is jeannepa?
I don't eat jean ne marche pa, I don't go Jean nouveapa.

(02:28):
The word for reservation is reservation,reservacium reservation. So I don't have a
reservation, is jeannepa reservation? Next, the tourist asks a question. She
wants to say, do you have? So she takes the vouzave form of

(02:49):
the verb avoir, flips it aroundand gets a vous, which means do
you have. Then we need theword for rooms, which is sho mbre,
chambre, chambre. Finally, weneed the word for available or free.
In this conversation, it is libre. So we put all these elements

(03:13):
together and we get de champredeliber avousde champre, de libre, de champbre
deliber. Next, we have aphrase we used in Lesson seven, we
neu zin lavon. In this conversation, it just means yes, we do,
yes, we do have rooms available. Next we have neu zavon,

(03:36):
which you already know means we haveBecause we've conjugated the verb avoire a few
times. Now, we already learnedthe word for room is champre. So
now we'll learn the phrase for singlerooms. It is Champres, Saints,
Champre, Saints, Champros Saints.There is something I want you to notice

(03:58):
here. The word for room ischamp. The plural form as an S
on it, it is schamp.Then we added the word for a single
which is samp. But did younotice we also put an S on the
adjective sample. Pluralizing adjectives like thismay be a little different from what you're

(04:18):
used to, but it is allpart of what we call making agreement in
French. In this case, we'remaking agreement between the plural noun champ and
the adjective sample both need to bepluralized. In the next sentence, we
need to learn three words. Theword for perfect is parfe, barfe parfe.

(04:44):
From this we get that's perfect ceparfet see parfe s perfe. Next
we have a very important word cumbia. It means how much. Then parre
is so easy because it kind oflooks like per And finally, the word

(05:05):
for night is NUIs how much isit per night? Altogether, combia es
pernouis, combia s parnuis combia espernouis. The clerk answers sizoisson sant de
lar, parnois purun champs roissins sesuis san sinque dollar parnouis pourin champ raisins

(05:30):
sieoisson sant de lar parnuis purun chamtroissint. It's sixty five dollars per night
for a single room. Sois santmeans sixty and we already learned five sac
in less than seven. Finally,the guest says, I'm going to take
it, or simply I'll take itjuves plus a verb means I'm going to
