Lesson focus |
|---|
| In the previous lesson, we learned how to ask the bus driver if the bus covers your destination. Once on the bus, you can look at the electronic information board and check what the next bus stop will be. As we mentioned before, in older buses there is no information board so your only option would be to ask what the next bus stop is. You can also ask the driver if he can let you know when your bus stop is next. |
| The question, "What is the next stop?" is Wat is de volgende halte? |
| The first word, Wat, means, "What." |
| Then we have is, meaning, "is." |
| Thisis followed by volgende ("next"). |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Vol-gen-de. |
| The last word in our phrase is halte, meaning, "stop." |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hal-te. Halte. |
| Let's now break down the whole phrase and see it one more time: Wat is de volgende halte? |
| which is again, "What is the next stop?" |
| Another way of inquiring could be to ask if your desired destination is the next stop. |
| For this phrase, we will use Albert Cuyp Market, the famous market in Amsterdam. It will be our destination. |
| In Dutch, the phrase is, Is de Albert Cuyp Markt de volgende halte? ("Is the Albert Cuyp Market the next stop?") |
| Let's break down these words and see them one more time: Is de Al-bert Cuyp Markt de vol-gen-de halte? |
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. |
| "What is the next stop?" - Wat is de volgende halte? |

| Wat is de volgende halte? |
| "Is de Albert Cuyp Markt the next stop?" - Is de Albert Cuyp Markt volgende halte? |
