They are the easy ones and I think the 15 sentences that my title, the 15 sentences that any non-French speakers can translate. Any non-French speakers, yes, I repeat any non-French speakers can translate. We have the underlying words, the cognates that will help you to match up. So you're gonna have 15 sentences in French, 15 sentences in English, you have to match them up. Each French sentence with its correct English sentence. So there we go, we have 15 sentences in French. I'm going to read Bonjour Ben et Pat, je m'appelle Alice, j'ai 23 ans, j'habite à Bolton, mais je suis à Paris pour le moment. Oh, j'adore Bolton. J'aime le sport, mais je n'aime pas le rugby. Ma couleur préférée est l'orange. Je déteste les bleus. J'aime les kiwis, mais je préfère les fraises. Demain, j'irai chez le dentiste. Now, we have on the left side, the 15 sentences in French and on the right side, the 15 sentences in English. You have to match them up. I've put the underlying words, they're in bold and the cognate just to help you if you match up. A cognate means any word that looks similar in both languages. That's why I've just underlined a few words to help you match up. I'm going to give you five seconds and then we'll say the answer. Off we go. Okay, what is the English for Bonjour Ben et Pat?
