Transcript
- Lucas: Välkommen tillbaka to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. Episode 197. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, last time we were at the pet store. Today I need new shoes. Lucas: Perfect. We're going to a skoaffär — a shoe store. Let's start with the first thing you say. Lucas: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par skor. That means 'I would like a pair of shoes.' Say it with me. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par skor. Lucas: Good. Jag skulle vilja ha ett par skor. One more time. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par skor. Lucas: There you go. Now the store assistant will probably ask 'Vilken storlek har du?' — What size do you have? Luna: Vilken storlek har du? Lucas: Right. You answer with your size. For example, 'Jag har storlek 38.' I have size 38. Luna: Jag har storlek 38. Lucas: Perfect. Vilken storlek har du? Jag har storlek 38. Now, you find a pair you like. Next you ask 'Får jag prova dem?' — May I try them on? Luna: Får jag prova dem? Lucas: Yes. Får jag prova dem? Then you try them on. If they fit, you say 'De passar bra.' They fit well. Luna: De passar bra. Lucas: And finally, to buy them: 'Jag tar dem, tack.' I'll take them, thanks. Luna: Jag tar dem, tack. Lucas: Let's practice the whole conversation. I'll be the assistant. You walk in. Luna: Hej! Jag skulle vilja ha ett par skor. Lucas: Vilken storlek har du? Luna: Jag har storlek 38. Lucas: Here are some. Would you like to try them? Luna: Får jag prova dem? Lucas: Of course. How do they feel? Luna: De passar bra. Jag tar dem, tack. Lucas: Excellent. You just bought shoes in Swedish. And you know, it's amazing that we can make these episodes without any ads.
