Lesson focus |
|---|
| In this lesson, we'll learn about a place crucial to your travels in this modern age: the Internet café! You can find Internet cafés in most towns in the Netherlands. Normally, you find Internet cafés in the main cities but of course, the smaller cities have quite modern standards as well. |
| The Netherlands has the highest percentage of Internet connections compared to other European countries so it shouldn't be too difficult to find an Internet café. |
| Let's imagine you're at the reception desk and you need to ask how much the connection is and for how long. |
| Pardon, hoeveel kost een uur internetten? |
| This literally means, "Excuse me, how much is one hour use of the Internet?" |
| Let's break it down by syllable and see it one more time: Par-don, hoe-veel kost een uur in-ter-net-ten? |
| This sentence is made up of pardon and hoeveel kost, which we have already seen in previous lessons. |
| The word Pardon means, "Excuse me." |
| Par-don. |
| Pardon. |
| The next components, hoeveel kost, can be translated directly as, "how much cost." |
| Hoe-veel kost. |
| Hoeveel kost is followed by een uur, meaning, "one hour." |
| Een uur. |
| This is followed by internetten, a verb, which stands for "to make use of the internet." |
| Let's break it down by syllable: In-ter-net-ten. |
| Here it is again: Pardon, hoeveel kost een uur internetten? |
| They will probably answer you with the price per hour. |
| Let's imagine that an hour of connection with the Internet costs four euro. You will hear then, Vier euro. |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch. |
| "Excuse me, how much is one hour use of the Internet?" - Pardon, hoeveel kost een uur internetten? |
| Pardon, hoeveel kost een uur internetten? |
| Pardon, hoeveel kost een uur internetten? |
| "Four euro" - Vier euro |
| Vier euro |
| Vier euro |
| All right, that's going to do it for today. Remember to stop by DutchPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF and additional info in the post. If you stop by, be sure to leave us a comment. Tot ziens! |
