Stage 4 · Lesson 1/4 20 min

After the 14-day path: Campus café: ordering and preferences

Handle one small task in a café, restaurant, market, or shop without memorizing every word first.

Today’s real taskOrder one drink, choose whether to add sugar, and finish with L’addition, s’il vous plaît.

Minimum speaking outputBonjour, je voudrais un café, s’il vous plaît. / Avec du sucre? / L’addition, s’il vous plaît.

Only notice this today: je voudrais = I would like; s’il vous plaît = please; bon = good

Keep the same loop

Use the same loop every lesson: hear three lines, shadow, replace one detail, and record 20–30 seconds.

Teacher’s note for first-time learners

Say your request first when ordering

Listen · copy · use

“
You do not need the whole menu. Use Je voudrais… for the drink, then handle sugar, taste, and the bill.

Pronunciation focus

Pronunciation focus: je voudrais is a polite chunk; do not pronounce every written ending in voudrais.

One trap to avoid

Common trap: saying only café. Add Je voudrais and s’il vous plaît for a complete, polite request.

End-of-lesson check: Self-check: can I order a drink, answer about sugar, and ask for the bill?

Beginner mode

Follow this order: listen → understand → speak

You do not need to finish every block in one sitting. For today, aim for 15–25 minutes and three clear sentences.

Today's goal: 3 sentences

1ListenListen once before looking at the answer.2UnderstandRead the translation and keep one useful pattern.3ShadowShadow each line twice; copy the rhythm before chasing perfection.4PracticeDo one small set; read the explanation and retry mistakes.5ReviewCome back on D+1, D+3, D+7, and D+14 after today.

Stop here when today’s minimum is doneSay three core expressions, complete one substitution set, and leave one short recording.

Everything below is extra practice.

Stuck? Use one of these four fixes

I cannot hear itSlow the voice down, listen once, then look at the translation.I cannot say itPlay one line and copy it three times; stop after one usable line.I cannot remember itReplace one name or detail with your own instead of memorizing a list.I do not want to recordWhisper or record one sentence first. A short imperfect recording still counts.

Learn a drink order as one chunk

Use un café for one coffee; for an uncounted amount such as sugar or water, learn du/de la as one chunk first.

PatternJe voudrais + un/une + drink · avec du/de la + ingredient

Je voudrais un café avec du sucre, s’il vous plaît.I would like a coffee with sugar, please.

Small tip: Say the whole order first; do not stop to analyze every article while ordering.

Open the full lesson: Partitive articles

Quick understanding check

Check what you understood, not what you memorized

Choose an answer for each item. This is not a grade; replay the phrase and try again when you miss one.
