About this lesson
You will be able to tell a doctor where it hurts, say how long you have been ill, and understand simple advice and a prescription.
How to practise
- Learn the phrases on the first card: these are the lines you will say in the situation.
- When you see À toi · Your reply, answer out loud in your own words before the real line plays, then repeat it.
- Keep the phrasebook at the end: the phrases, what you will hear, and a tip for the real thing.
