| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Coffee Break French. In lesson 29, we're continuing where we left off last |
| 0:18.0 | time. We were looking at seeing I have a headache, I have stomachache and so on in lesson 28, |
| 0:24.7 | and in this lesson we're taking that a stage further and dealing with more possible problems |
| 0:29.3 | that you may have while you're traveling. We'll also be taking a visit to the doctors. Now, |
| 0:34.5 | hopefully you won't need the vocabulary that we learn in this lesson when you're traveling, |
| 0:39.7 | but nonetheless it's important to learn it. I hope that you enjoy the lesson. |
| 0:44.1 | So last time, we learned how to say, I am not feeling well. Can you remember how you say that? |
| 1:01.2 | I am not feeling well. I am not feeling very well. We also learn the phrase for I am ill. |
| 1:09.6 | I am ill. I am ill and I am ill. It doesn't change whether you're feminine or masculine. It's |
| 1:17.8 | always the one more done like, for example, pre and pre. I would say to Anna, is that you're |
| 1:22.8 | pre and I would be pre to learn French or indeed to teach French. Okay, getting back to |
| 1:31.1 | malade and le maladie, le maladie are illnesses, le maladie, le maladie. We're going to talk a |
| 1:39.7 | little about some possible problems that we may have on our holiday when we've got to visit a doctor |
| 1:45.2 | or a pharmacist. Last week, we learned a few phrases like, I have a sore head or my head is sore. How |
| 1:52.3 | would you say that in French? Anna. J'ai mal à la tête. J'ai mal à la tête. So it's this |
| 2:02.0 | business of having soreness or badness at the head. J'ai mal à la tête. I would you say I have a |
| 2:10.2 | sore throat. J'ai mal à la gorge. J'ai mal à la gorge. And what about I have a sore stomach? |
| 2:20.8 | J'ai mal à l'estomac. J'ai mal à l'estomac. And one last one, what about I have a sore back? |
| 2:32.0 | J'ai mal au dos. J'ai mal au dos, très bien. Now the fact is that if you were to say any of |
| 2:38.3 | these things to a doctor or to a pharmacist, then you would hopefully be on the right track to |
| 2:43.0 | getting something for your pain. However, there might be other medical situations that you might have |
| 2:48.5 | to explain. Something that is, let's face it, quite common when we go on holiday, is that you have |
