Lesson Transcript

Listen to the dialogue with the text on the screen.

Nadia, ek is oppad na jou toe. Kan jy my aanwysings gee, my GPS is stukkend?

Was jy al in Kerk straat in Pretoria?

Nog net so 2 keer.

Ek bly naby die BMW agentskap, naby die kerk. Nr 5 Groen Straat.

Ok, watter afrit as ek op die snelweg afklim is?

Neem die Pretoria stad afrit, hou reguit aan en draai dan links in die derde straat.

Dit is seker groen straat, sien jou later.

Now you'll hear the key vocabulary followed by the English translation.

straat, 'street'

neem, 'take'

derde, 'third'

agentskap, 'agency'

reguit, 'straight'

keer, 'times'

afrit, 'exit'

later, 'later'

dan, 'then'

naby, 'close'

Finally let's review the dialogue again, see if you can understand more this time.
