- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn French with Fexingo. Luna: Oh, thanks Lucas. It's good to be here again. Lucas: Yeah, totally. So, last time we covered 'enchanté' and 'moi aussi, enchanté' for nice to meet you. Luna: Right, which felt so polite and friendly. Lucas: Exactly. Today, we're keeping it super simple but super useful: numbers one through five in French. Luna: Oh, that's perfect. I always get tripped up counting things. Lucas: For sure. Let's start with number one: 'un'. Luna: Okay, 'un'. Lucas: Yeah, that's it. 'Un' means one. Say it slowly: 'un'. Luna: 'Un'. Lucas: There you go. Now normally: 'un'. Luna: 'Un'. Lucas: Nailed it. Next, number two: 'deux'. Luna: 'Deux'. Lucas: Right. 'Deux' means two. Slowly: 'deux'. Luna: 'Deux'. Lucas: Exactly. Normal pace: 'deux'. Luna: 'Deux'. Lucas: You're doing great. Number three: 'trois'. Luna: Oh, 'trois'. That sounds a bit tricky. Lucas: It's like 'trwah'. 'Trois' means three. Slowly: 'trois'. Luna: 'Trois'. Lucas: Ooh, almost. Try again: 'trois'. Luna: 'Trois'. Lucas: There it is. Normally: 'trois'. Luna: 'Trois'. Lucas: Perfect. Number four: 'quatre'. Luna: 'Quatre'. Lucas: Yeah, 'quatre' means four. Slowly: 'quatre'. Luna: 'Quatre'. Lucas: Right. Normal: 'quatre'. Luna: 'Quatre'. Lucas: And last, number five: 'cinq'. Luna: 'Cinq'. Lucas: That's it. 'Cinq' means five. Slowly: 'cinq'. Luna: 'Cinq'. Lucas: Exactly. Normally: 'cinq'. Luna: 'Cinq'. Lucas: You did it. Let's put them all together slowly: 'un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Luna: 'Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Lucas: Ahh, yes! That's so good. Luna: Thanks. So, how about a tiny scene to practice? Lucas: Absolutely. Imagine we're at a bakery, like from Episode 3. You're counting croissants. Luna: Oh, I love that. Okay, so: 'Bonjour! Je voudrais un croissant, s'il vous plaît'. Lucas: Right, using 'un' from today. Then maybe: 'Non, attendez — je voudrais deux croissants'. Luna: Wait, hold on. 'Deux' for two. Got it. Lucas: Yeah. Or if you're really hungry: 'Trois croissants, merci'. Luna: 'Trois' for three. That's cute. Lucas: Totally. Let's do another quick one: counting people in a room. Luna: Okay, like: 'Il y a un ami ici'. Lucas: Exactly. 'Un ami' means one friend. Then: 'Deux amis' for two friends. Luna: 'Trois amis, quatre amis, cinq amis'. Lucas: You're trouble — that's a big party! But yeah, that's it. Luna: So fun. Let's recap: 'un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Lucas: Right. One more time all together: 'un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Luna: 'Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Lucas: Nailed it. Okay, tiny quiz: what's 'quatre' in English? Luna: Hmm. That's four. Lucas: Yes! And how about 'cinq'? Luna: Five. Lucas: Perfect. You're getting this. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This feels really useful. Lucas: For sure. That's all for today on Learn French with Fexingo. Practice these numbers: 'un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq'. Luna: Yeah. Count some things around you — maybe pastries or friends. Lucas: Exactly. We'll see you next time for more French. À plus tard! Luna: À plus tard!
