Do you want to dress elegantly? “La mode” (“Fashion” in English) is a famous aspect of French culture. You probably heard about renowned creators such as Channel or Dior. France is the capital of fashion and elegance. It is important in our culture and social life as well as the economy of the country. So, if you want to go to France for shopping, you definitely need to have basic knowledge. I have created for you a podcast taking place at a clothing shop. In order to learn more about how to remember easily and efficiently, take a look at my article “How to easily memorize French vocabulary“.
Au magasin
A : Bonjour Monsieur ! Est-ce que je peux vous aider ?
Hello Sir ! Can I help you ?
B : Bonjour Madame, oui je recherche un pantalon pour mon fils et un pull pour moi.
Hello Madam, yes I am looking for a trousser for my son and a jumper for me.
A : Très bien, quelle taille ?
Perfect, which size ?
B : Alors mon fils fait taille 6 en pantalon et moi taille medium pour le pull.
So, size 6 for the trousser for my son and for me size medium for the jumper.
A : Très bien, donc ici vous trouverez les pantalons enfants et cette partie sera les pulls adultes. Tout est classé par couleur.

Excusez-moi Madame, le pull est trop petit pour moi, auriez-vous une taille plus grande pour ce model, s’il vous plaît ?

Malheureusement non, nous n’avons plus de taille large.

Unfortunately no, we do not have anymore large size.
