Stage 6 · Lesson 3/4 22 min

After the 14-day path: Transport: how I get there

Talk about a simple holiday, time, and weather, choose transport, and handle a hotel or directions exchange.

Today’s real taskSay how you get to school or work, then ask which route the other person takes.

Minimum speaking outputI take the bus. / Which bus do you take? / I do not take the car.

Only notice this today: prendre le bus = take the bus; quel bus = which bus; pour aller à = to go to

Keep the same loop

Make the message understandable first, then refine the grammar; practise one small travel task at a time.

Teacher’s note for first-time learners

Make one transport choice first

Listen · copy · use

“
Use Je prends… for your transport and Quel bus prends-tu? for the route. Do not learn every transport word today.

Pronunciation focus

Pronunciation focus: do not pronounce the ending in prends; practise prendre le bus as one travel chunk.

One trap to avoid

Common trap: missing that Quel bus asks for the bus route, not the color of a vehicle.

End-of-lesson check: Self-check: can I say my transport and ask which route the other person takes?

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.

Beginner grammar bridge1 rule · 1 example

Use je prends for the transport you take

Say which transport you take with Je prends + transport; for a negative, put ne…pas around the verb.

PatternJe prends + transport · Je ne prends pas + transport

Je prends le bus, mais je ne prends pas la voiture.I take the bus, but I do not take the car.

Small tip: Say which option you choose before the one you do not; change only one transport word at a time.

Open the full lesson: Present tense

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.

0/3

Which transport is asked about in Est-ce que tu prends le bus?

What follow-up does Quel bus prends-tu? ask?

What choice does Moi, je ne prends pas la voiture express?
