I’d like to share with you two excerpts from the Rocket French course at beginner and intermediate level. Here we go!
Beginner Level
The first one is a transcript of audio track one, teaching you how to greet someone in French. To help you understand written French, you get to see the written conversation in French and its English translation with every track of the Interactive Audio Course! Remember that the conversation below is only the basic conversation - they add in piles of extra words and phrases during the course of each track!
The French Conversation…
Paul: Salut Claire.
Claire: Salut, Paul. Comment ça va?
Paul: Bien merci, et toi?
Claire: Je vais très bien.
The English Translation…
Paul: Hi Claire!
Claire: Hi Paul. How’s it going?
Paul: Good thanks, and you?
Claire: I’m going very well.
More Advanced
And here’s a more advanced excerpt, of Claire and Paul going skiing! Remember if you decide to join this course, you will get the MP3 version of the track to download and play on your MP3 Player and the transcript as below…
As at beginner level you get this written conversation in French, with its translation into English, to help you understand written French. Remember again that the conversation below is only the basic conversation and that piles of extra words and phrases are added in during the course of each track!
The French Conversation…
Claire: Est-ce que tu as ton forfait?
Paul: Bien sûr. Sais-tu où je peux louer des skis?
Claire: Il y a un magasin de location juste en bas des pistes.
Paul: J’espère que je suis encore capable de skier!
Claire: Qu’est ce que tu veux dire?
Paul: Ca fait longtemps que je n’ai pas skié.
Claire: On peut louer une luge.
Paul: Non, c’est pour les enfants! Je veux des skis.
Claire: Ah bon, t’es plus un enfant?
The English Translation…
Claire: Do you have your ski pass?
Paul: Of course. Do you know where I can hire some skis?
Claire: There is a hire shop, just at the bottom of the trails.
Paul: I hope I can still ski!
Claire: What do you mean?
Paul: It’s been a long time since I’ve been on skis.
Claire: We could hire a sled.
Paul: No, they are for kids! I want skis.
Claire: Right, and you’re not a kid anymore?
