At the station and airport
Travel is one of the most common situations in the TEF and TCF listening sections. At a station or airport you have to understand announcements, ask for practical information (times, platforms, gates, prices) and react quickly. The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, so once you know it, these clips become easy points.

Quelle phrase est correcte ?
Which sentence is correct?
When you say where you travel, the preposition depends on the word. Use en for feminine countries and those starting with a vowel: en France, en Italie, en Iran. Use au for masculine countries: au Canada, au Portugal. Use aux for plural countries: aux États-Unis. For cities, use à: à Paris, à Montréal.
Complétez avec la bonne préposition (ville).
Complete with the right preposition (city).
Le train arrive ____ Montréal à midi.
Répondez avec le pronom en et un nombre.
Answer with the pronoun en and a number.
Vous avez des bagages ? Oui, j' ____ ai deux.
Écoutez et tapez l'annonce du quai.
Listen and type the platform announcement.
The pronoun en replaces a quantity to avoid repeating the noun. For Vous avez des bagages ? you answer Oui, j'en ai deux. (I have two of them). It often appears with a number or a word of quantity: J'en prends un. (I'll take one). Do not confuse this en with the preposition en France.
Écoutez et tapez l'annonce de la porte.
Listen and type the gate announcement.
Remettez les mots dans l'ordre pour demander le prochain train.
Put the words in order to ask for the next train.
