Selamat datang, everyone. I'm your host, Sean. Hai semua. Saya Cici. Welcome back, everyone. We hope you have been enjoying our lessons so far. Today, we're going to learn some really important tools. What to say in emergency situations. So let's begin. We have learned in previous lessons that means please. Besides please, it can also be used to ask for help. Chi Chi will now call for help using tolong. Try and duplicate her intonation. Listen and repeat. Good. Another word for help is...
Listen and repeat. Good. So here is one way to say, please help me. Listen and repeat. Good. Since tolong can mean both please and help, here is another way to say please help me. Listen and repeat.
¶ Calling Emergency Services
Good. Another important thing to know in an emergency situation is the word for call. Listen and repeat. To call. Good. In a lot of cases, we need to call the police or an ambulance. Since they're close in English... Try to focus on the pronunciation. Listen and repeat. The police and ambulance. Great. How do you think you'd say, please call the police? Please call the police. Good.
Sometimes we want to add some urgency when we need someone to do something right now. Let's learn the word for now. Listen and repeat. Now. Good. How would you say, please call for an ambulance now? Please call for an ambulance now. Good. Let's do a quick review. How do you say to call? Great. What two words mean help?
¶ Expressing Illness and Urgency
Great. Let's learn how to say, this is an emergency. Listen and repeat. Good. Next, we're going to learn how to say, I am sick. Listen and repeat. Saya sakit. Good. The last term we're going to learn today is, I need a doctor. To do this, we need to learn the word doctor. Fortunately, it's the same as in English, so try to focus on the pronunciation. Listen and repeat. Great. Now let's put it together. How do you think you'd say, I need a doctor?
Great. Now let's do some review from previous lessons. How would you ask, what time is it now? Jam berapa sekarang? What time is it now? Good. How do you say Sunday? Minggu or hari Minggu Sunday. Great. That's it for this lesson. In the next lesson, we're going to learn some more emergency expressions. Thanks for listening. Terima kasih. See you soon, everyone. Sama nanti.
