Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another French episode? Luna: Absolutely! I've been practicing my ordinals from last time — premier, deuxième, troisième... Lucas: Nice. Today we're going to continue with the next five: from six through ten. Luna: Oh, so sixième, septième, huitième... Lucas: You're jumping ahead! Let's start slow. Repeat after me: sixième. Luna: sixième. Lucas: That means 'sixth'. For example, 'le sixième étage' is the sixth floor. Luna: So if I live on the sixth floor, I'd say 'j'habite au sixième étage'? Lucas: Exactly! Now, septième means 'seventh'. Try it. Luna: septième. Lucas: Good. Huitième is 'eighth'. Say it with me: huitième. Luna: huitième. Lucas: Perfect. Neuvième is 'ninth'. Go ahead. Luna: neuvième. Lucas: And dixième is 'tenth'. Your turn. Luna: dixième. Lucas: You've got them all. Now, let's practice with a little scenario. Imagine a race. Who comes in sixth? Luna: Le sixième? Lucas: Right. And if someone is seventh? Luna: Le septième. Lucas: You're a natural. Let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: sixième, septième, huitième, neuvième, dixième. Luna: sixième, septième, huitième, neuvième, dixième. Lucas: By the way, if Fexingo is helping you get comfortable with French, you can support the show at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. It keeps us ad-free and focused on teaching. Luna: Yeah, it's a great way to help us keep making episodes like this. Every bit helps. Lucas: Now, back to numbers. Let's try a sentence: 'C'est le sixième jour du mois.' That means 'It's the sixth day of the month.' Can you say that? Luna: C'est le sixième jour du mois. Lucas: Beautiful. How about 'le septième mois'? That's 'the seventh month' — July. Luna: Ah, so juillet is the seventh month? Lucas: Exactly. Now, 'le huitième arrondissement' is a district in Paris. Luna: Le huitième arrondissement. I've heard of that! Lucas: Good. 'Le neuvième chapitre' means 'the ninth chapter'. Luna: Le neuvième chapitre. Lucas: And 'le dixième candidat' is 'the tenth candidate'. Luna: Le dixième candidat. Lucas: Now, let's speed up a little. I'll say a number in English, you say the French ordinal. Sixth. Luna: sixième. Lucas: Seventh. Luna: septième. Lucas: Eighth. Luna: huitième. Lucas: Ninth. Luna: neuvième. Lucas: Tenth. Luna: dixième. Lucas: Excellent! Let's do a full sequence from premier to dixième. Repeat after me: premier, deuxième, troisième, quatrième, cinquième, sixième, septième, huitième, neuvième, dixième. Luna: premier, deuxième, troisième, quatrième, cinquième, sixième, septième, huitième, neuvième, dixième. Lucas: You did it. That's the whole set from first to tenth. Luna: I feel so accomplished! That's a lot of ordinals to remember. Lucas: You'll have them down with a bit more practice. Try using them when you talk about floors, dates, or positions. Luna: I will. Thanks, Lucas! This was fun. Lucas: My pleasure. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Fexingo.
