This week we are talking about trains.
And today, let's learn these phrases... How do you say...
改札口、何番線、手荷物 and there's one thing to be carful of ...
How do you say すり in English?
So today we practice together in almost all English. You can do it.
-----
I'll say it in Japanese, and you'll say it in English within the time limit.
The first one is 改札口.
How do you say it in English? Go ahead.
I'll recommend ticket gate.
So use ticket gate to make this question.
Where is the ticket gate?
The ticket gate is over there.
Next let's practice 何番線.
For example how do you say 七番線 in English.
Track number seven.
Sometimes you here track seven, but let's make it clear, track number seven.
Now let's make a sentence.
The next train for Paris is at track number three.
Now I have a question about a city.
How do you say Switzerland's チューリッヒin English?
In English it's Zurich. [ˈzʊrɪk]
Now make this question with Zurich.
Which track is the train for Zurich?
How do you say 手荷物 in Enlish?
I suggest, baggs.
You could say baggage or luggage but the one can be used in a broad sense is baggs.
The baggage or luggage is fine, but in daily conversations baggs is better.
So let's try to make two sentences with baggs.
Here's the first one.
Where should I put my baggs?
My baggs are getting heavy.
* be getting + adj
Did you understand? Be getting + adjective.
Next, how do you say スリ. How do you say that in English?
The answer is pick pocket.
Let's use it in a sentence. Here we go.
Be carful of pick pockets.
* Take care!
<> 具体的に～に気をつけてね！ be careful of....
Besides pick pockets, what should we be careful of?

This week we'll be in almost all English.
But don't worry about it. You know how to practice with us.
That's right. It's the same format.
So now let's practice words like IC card, カード残高, カード読み取り機.
Can you say those in Enlgish?
Let's practice saying those phrases within the time limit.
-----
I'll say something in Japanse, so you will say it in English. Here's the first one.
How do you say, IC card in Enlish?
- card
You could say, IC chip card. But today let's use, card.
Use card to make this sentence.
Cards are more becoming more and more popular. Just card is fine.
Now here is the question with card.
Where can I get a card for the tram?
Do you understand? You could also make this with a ticket.
Where can I get a ticket for the tram?
How do you say 残高 in English.
-balance
So use balance to say this...
What's the balance on this card?
You can also say,
How much is the balance on this card?
Both are correct.
Next, how do you say, カード読み取り機 in English?
- card reader
So let's make some sentences with card reader.
And here is the sentence,
Just tap this on the card reader.
*あてる can be ＝＞ touch or tap
読み取り機で残高が確認できます。
You can see your balance on the card reader.
When you get off, just tap this on the card reader again.
Let's learn a local phrase.
And we learned a local phrase. Here it is.
よい旅をはオランダ語で... Hebt u goede reisです。
Have a good trip is "Hebt u goede reis" in Dutch.
オランダ語 in English is Doutch. And as we go around the blobe we learned some local phrases. This week we picked up this one and here it in announcements. Here's the final one.
