Bonjour! How are you so far this week? Today, we’ll be discussing two related lessons:
1. Scenario: at the airport
2. Vocabulary related to holidays
First of all, what would you do if you were in an airport where people only speak French?
Today’s first lesson will equip you with the necessary vocabulary and sentences to deal with common scenarios at the airport.
Let’s start with the vocabulary:
Listen Track 84
You also need the verbs:
Listen Track 85
Embarquer Board, embark
Débarquer Disembark
Récupérer les bagages Recover your luggage

Now, let’s get familiar with the vocabulary via dialogue:

Stéphanie: Oh ! Je crois que je les ai oubliés dans mon bagage en soute ! Ah, non c’est bon, ils étaient dans mon bagage à main.
