Il est midi. Je dînerai à sept heures du soir, mais je vais déjeuner à midi un quatre [quart].

[00:09:52]
Jean [[tombre?]] [tombe] il vient de sommeil, sept heures.

[00:09:58]
Allons, lever-toi [lève-toi] tout suit! Allons, début!

[00:10:03]
Il est trop tôt, maman. J'ai un cours [[se mille?]]. Je vais me lever tout à l'heure.

[00:10:11]
Non, Jean, tu n'as pas le temps. Tu vas arriver en retard à l'école.

[00:10:19]
Enfin, Jan se lever [lève].

[00:10:23]
Il vient de faire sa toilette; il est en train de prendre son petit-déjeuner, huit heures moins le quatre [quart].

[00:10:32]
Bientôt, on va fermer les portes de l'école. Allons, Jean, marche vite! Vite!

[00:10:42]
Encore une minute. Encore une seconde. Dans une moment, tu vas trouver les portes fermées.

[00:10:51]
Ah! Tu es arrive [arrivé] en temps, quand même. Il est huit heures, juste.

[00:10:57]
Au revoir. Jean, bonne journée, et, demain, lever-toi [lève-toi] à l'heure.

[00:11:04]
"Un demi-heure," c'est la même chose de "thirty minutes."

[00:11:10]
Ou "un quart d'heure," c'est la même chose de "quinze minutes," "fifteen minutes."

[00:11:20]
"Tôt" is the same thing as "tard," which is "late."

[00:11:24]
"Il est juste midi," "il est peu après-midi," c'est la même chose--"it is almost midday," "it is almost noon," --or "midnight."

[00:11:36]
"Le sommeil," "Pierre avait sommeil" c'est the same thing as "il avait envie de dormir" ou "il voulait dormir," "maintenant, il dort."

[00:11:51]
Le sommeil is sleep. Pierre is asleep.

[00:11:58]
He has gone to bed, or he has gone to sleep.

[00:12:03]
Um, "il voulait dormir," I don't know what that means.

[00:12:12]
Now, he sleeps. He wants to go to bed. "Now he sleeps," I think that's what it means.

[00:12:18]
Je vois, je revois, demain à l'école, Jean reverra ses camarades.

[00:12:26]
I see, I recall, yesterday at school, John saw his comrades.

[00:12:37]
Oh, I see, je vois, I see; je revois, I, I saw.

Transcription Notes:
This is largely dialogue in French from someone who seems to be learning the language, so there is some ambiguity between what she says/her pronunciation and what she might intend to say. I mostly stuck with the words I thought she was aiming for, especially for nouns, but transcribed the conjugations of the verbs more as they sounded. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-07-31 13:03:32
