I'm off on holiday, so it's time for some last-minute clothes shopping.
Hakim talks to the clothes shop attendant - Je peux essayer ce t-shirt, s´il vous plaît ?
- Can I try on this t-shirt, please?
- Bien sûr. La cabine est là.
- Sure. There's the changing room.
- Merci.
- Thanks.
Hakim shows the attendant how tight the t-shirt is for him - C'est trop petit. Vous avez un peu plus grand ?
- It's too small. Have you got a bigger one?
- Quelle taille  ?
- What size?
- XXL.
- Extra extra large.
- Voilà
- There you are.
Two t-shirts: one gray, one black - Je n'aime pas cette couleur.
- I don't like that colour.
- Nous l'avons aussi en noir.
- We've also got it in black.
- Je préfère le noir. C'est plus classique.
- I prefer the black. It's more stylish.
The attendant shows Hakim the hat rack. - Ah, la casquette ! Vous vendez des casquettes ?
- Ah, a cap! Do you sell caps?
- Oui, Monsieur, nous en avons de toutes
   les couleurs.

- Yes, we've got them in all colours.
- Je prends la grise. C'est plus cool.
- I'll take the grey one. It's cooler.
Hands exchanging money - Ça fait combien ?
- How much is it?
- Ça fait cinquante euros soixante-seize.
- That's 50 euros 76.
- C'est un peu cher... mais je prends les deux.
- It's a bit expensive... but I'll take both.
