<h1>Welcome to London!</h1> Prêt(e) pour l'aventure ? Avant de commencer, quel est votre nom ? <div style="margin: 20px 0;"> <<textbox "$playerName" "Traveler" "Start" autofocus>> </div> <div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;"> <<button "Continuer">> <<if $playerName.trim() == "">> <<set $playerName to "Traveler">> <</if>> <<goto "Start">> <</button>> </div>

<h1>Introduction : L'aventure commence pour $playerName</h1> Vous avez toujours rêvé de visiter Londres, et aujourd'hui, ce rêve devient réalité ! Vous venez de terminer vos études, ou peut-être prenez-vous juste une semaine de repos bien méritée. Quoi qu'il en soit, vous avez décidé de vous offrir un voyage en solitaire dans la capitale britannique. Vous avez réservé une chambre près de King's Cross, préparé un planning chargé pour vos sept jours sur place, et révisé (un peu) votre anglais de lycée. L'objectif de cette semaine est simple : - Visiter les lieux les plus emblématiques de la ville. - Arriver à vous débrouiller dans toutes les situations (demander votre chemin, commander au restaurant, faire des rencontres...). - Surmonter la barrière de la langue. Le vol depuis Paris s'est très bien passé. L'avion vient d'atterrir et les autres passagers se lèvent déjà pour récupérer leurs bagages. Prenez votre passeport en main, la porte de l'avion s'ouvre... Let's go! <div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;"> [[Sortir de l'avion et entrer dans l'aéroport|Chapter1_Arrival]] </div>

You step off the plane at <<linkreplace "Heathrow">>Heathrow (l'aéroport principal de Londres)<<run $vocab_list.push("Heathrow : aéroport principal de Londres")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> Airport. After a long flight from Paris, you're finally here — London! The airport is enormous and full of signs in English. People are walking fast all around you. You take a deep breath: this is it. A whole week speaking nothing but English. You follow the crowd down a long <<linkreplace "corridor">>corridor (couloir)<<run $vocab_list.push("Corridor : couloir")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> towards <<linkreplace "Border Control">>Border Control (le contrôle aux frontières)<<run $vocab_list.push("Border Control : contrôle aux frontières")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. There's a big sign with two arrows: <div class="signage"> 🔵 ''"UK and EU Passports"'' — on the left 🔴 ''"All Other Passports"'' — on the right </div> You have a French passport. Which <<linkreplace "queue">>queue (file d'attente — attention, faux ami !)<<run $vocab_list.push("Queue : file d'attente (faux ami !)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> do you join? [[Join the "UK and EU Passports" queue on the left.|BorderControlEU]] [[Join the "All Other Passports" queue on the right.|BorderControlOther]]

<<set $score += 5>> <div class="pedagogy-success">✅ Good choice! France is in the European Union, so you join the correct queue.</div> After a few minutes of waiting, it's your turn. You walk up to the <<linkreplace "booth">>booth (guichet)<<run $vocab_list.push("Booth : guichet")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. A serious-looking <<linkreplace "border officer">>border officer (agent de contrôle aux frontières)<<run $vocab_list.push("Border officer : agent aux frontières")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> looks at you and says: "Good afternoon. Passport, please." You hand him your passport. He looks at the photo, then at your face. He nods and asks: "What is the <<linkreplace "purpose">>purpose (but/raison)<<run $vocab_list.push("Purpose : but, raison")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> of your visit?" How do you answer? [[Answer: "I come for holiday."|OfficerGrammarMistake]] [[Answer: "I'm here on holiday for a week."|OfficerCorrectAnswer]] [[Answer: "Purpose? I don't understand."|OfficerConfused]]

<<set $confidence -= 1>> <<set $mistakes += 1>> You join the queue on the right. It's very long — much longer than the other one. People around you are holding passports from all over the world: the United States, Japan, Brazil... After <<linkreplace "nearly">>nearly (presque)<<run $vocab_list.push("Nearly : presque")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> thirty minutes of waiting, you finally reach the <<linkreplace "counter">>counter (comptoir/guichet)<<run $vocab_list.push("Counter : comptoir, guichet")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. The officer takes your passport, opens it, and <<linkreplace "frowns">>frowns (fronce les sourcils)<<run $vocab_list.push("To frown : froncer les sourcils")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. "This is a French passport. France is in the EU. You're in the wrong queue, I'm afraid. You need to go back and join the EU line, over there on the left." <div class="pedagogy pedagogy-error"> 😰 Thirty minutes wasted! You feel a bit embarrassed. ❌ ''Erreur de compréhension !'' 💡 ''Explication :'' Le panneau disait ''"UK and EU Passports"'' à gauche et ''"All Other Passports"'' à droite. - ''EU'' = ''European Union'' (Union Européenne) - La France fait partie de l'UE, donc il fallait aller ''à gauche'' ! - ''"I'm afraid"'' est une expression de politesse britannique qui signifie « malheureusement » (et non pas « j'ai peur »). </div> You head back to the correct queue. Luckily, this time the queue is <<linkreplace "much shorter">>much shorter (bien plus courte)<<run $vocab_list.push("Much shorter : bien plus court")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. [[Join the correct queue.|BorderControlEU]]

<<set $score += 5>> <div class="pedagogy-success">✅ ''Perfect answer!''</div> The officer nods and gives you a small smile. "A week, very good. Where will you be <<linkreplace "staying">>staying (loger/séjourner)<<run $vocab_list.push("To stay : loger, séjourner")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>?" You tell him the name of your hotel near <<linkreplace "King's Cross">>King's Cross (quartier et gare emblématique de Londres)<<run $vocab_list.push("King's Cross : quartier/gare de Londres")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> Station. "Right. <<linkreplace "Enjoy your stay">>Enjoy your stay (Bon séjour)<<run $vocab_list.push("Enjoy your stay : bon séjour")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>." He stamps your passport and hands it back. You made it through! 🎉 You <<linkreplace "pick up">>pick up (récupérer — phrasal verb !)<<run $vocab_list.push("To pick up : récupérer (phrasal verb)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> your <<linkreplace "luggage">>luggage (bagages)<<run $vocab_list.push("Luggage : bagages (indénombrable)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> from the <<linkreplace "conveyor belt">>conveyor belt (tapis roulant à bagages)<<run $vocab_list.push("Conveyor belt : tapis roulant")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> and head towards the <<linkreplace "Arrivals hall">>Arrivals hall (hall des arrivées)<<run $vocab_list.push("Arrivals hall : hall des arrivées")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. Now you need to get to your hotel. A big sign shows your options: 🚇 ''Underground'' (Tube) — Cheaper but you need to figure out the route 🚕 ''Taxi'' — More expensive but easier 🗺️ ''Information Desk'' — Ask for help first What do you do? [[Take the Underground.|TubeStation]] [[Take a taxi.|TaxiRank]] [[Go to the Information Desk.|InfoDesk]]

<<set $confidence -= 1>> <<set $mistakes += 1>> <div class="pedagogy pedagogy-error"> ❌ ''Erreur grammaticale !'' Vous avez dit : ''"I come for holiday."'' En anglais, pour exprimer le but d'un voyage ''en cours'', on utilise : - ''"I'm here on holiday"'' (le présent continu ou la formule fixe) - ou ''"I've come for a holiday"'' (present perfect) ⚠️ On dit aussi ''"on holiday"'' et non ''"for holiday"''*. La préposition correcte est ''on'' avec le mot *holiday* en anglais britannique. </div> The officer looks at you with a slightly confused expression, but he understands what you mean. He continues anyway... [[Try answering again.|BorderControlEU]]

<<set $confidence -= 1>> <<set $mistakes += 1>> <div class="pedagogy pedagogy-error">😰 ''Perte de confiance !''</div> L'agent répète plus lentement : "The PURPOSE... Why are you here? Holiday? Business? Study?" <div class="pedagogy pedagogy-info"> 💡 ''Astuce vocabulaire :'' Le mot ''"purpose"'' signifie ''"but"'' ou ''"raison"''. C'est une question classique au contrôle des frontières : - ''"What is the purpose of your visit?"'' = Quel est le but de votre visite ? Réponses possibles : - ''"I'm here on holiday"'' (vacances) - ''"I'm here on business"'' (affaires) - ''"I'm here to study"'' (études) </div> Now you understand! What do you respond? [[Answer: "I'm here on holiday for a week."|OfficerCorrectAnswer]]

<<set $transport to "tube">> You follow the signs with the famous red <<linkreplace "roundel">>roundel (le logo circulaire du métro londonien)<<run $vocab_list.push("Roundel : logo circulaire du métro")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> — the symbol of the London Underground. 🔴 You arrive at the ticket hall. A large sign reads: ''"Get your Oyster card here – <<linkreplace "tap in, tap out">>tap in, tap out (biper en entrant, biper en sortant)<<run $vocab_list.push("Tap in/out : biper sa carte en entrant/sortant")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>"'' You see two options: - A <<linkreplace "ticket machine">>ticket machine (distributeur de billets)<<run $vocab_list.push("Ticket machine : distributeur de billets")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> where you can buy an ''Oyster card'' (a reusable travel card) - A <<linkreplace "staffed">>staffed (avec du personnel)<<run $vocab_list.push("Staffed : avec du personnel")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> ticket window The Oyster card costs £5 for the card itself, plus you need to <<linkreplace "top it up">>top it up (recharger)<<run $vocab_list.push("To top up : recharger (une carte, un téléphone)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> with credit for your journeys. [[Buy an Oyster card at the machine.|TubeBuyTicket]] [[Ask for help at the ticket window.|TubeBuyTicketHelp]]

<<run $inventory.push("🎫 Oyster Card (£20 credit)")>> <<set $score += 3>> You use the touch screen to buy an Oyster card. The machine is in English, but you manage! You top it up with £20. <<inventory_alert "🎫" "Oyster Card added to your inventory!">> Now you need to find the right platform. You look at the <<linkreplace "Tube map">>Tube map (plan du métro)<<run $vocab_list.push("Tube map : plan du métro londonien")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> on the wall. Your hotel is near ''King's Cross Station''. You are currently at ''Heathrow Terminal 5'', which is on the ''Piccadilly Line'' (dark blue). Looking at the map, King's Cross is also on the ''Piccadilly Line'' — no need to change! But which <<linkreplace "direction">>direction (direction / sens)<<run $vocab_list.push("Direction : direction, sens")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>? The signs say: - ⬅️ ''Eastbound'' — towards Cockfosters - ➡️ ''Westbound'' — towards Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 King's Cross is in ''central London'', to the east of Heathrow. [[Take the Eastbound platform.|TubeCorrectLine]] [[Take the Westbound platform.|TubeWrongLine]]

<<run $inventory.push("🎫 Oyster Card (£20 credit)")>> <<set $score += 3>> You go to the ticket window. A friendly <<linkreplace "clerk">>clerk (employé(e) au guichet)<<run $vocab_list.push("Clerk : employé(e) au guichet")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> smiles at you. ''"Hello! How can I help you?"'' You say: "I'd like an Oyster card, please. I need to go to King's Cross." ''"Of course! That's £5 for the card. How much <<linkreplace "credit">>credit (crédit / solde)<<run $vocab_list.push("Credit : crédit, solde sur une carte")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> would you like to add?"'' You add £20 of credit. The clerk hands you the card and adds: ''"You want the ''Piccadilly Line'', <<linkreplace "Eastbound">>Eastbound (en direction de l'est)<<run $vocab_list.push("Eastbound : en direction de l'est")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>.

About 45 minutes."'' <<inventory_alert "🎫" "Oyster Card added to your inventory!">> The clerk even told you the right platform! [[Head to the Eastbound Piccadilly Line platform.|TubeCorrectLine]]

<<set $score += 5>> <div class="pedagogy-success">✅ ''Correct!''</div> You tap your Oyster card on the <<linkreplace "barrier">>barrier (portillon)<<run $vocab_list.push("Barrier : portillon d'accès")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> and walk to the Eastbound platform. The train arrives after a few minutes. You find a seat and relax. The journey takes about 45 minutes. You watch the station names light up on the screen inside the <<linkreplace "carriage">>carriage (wagon de métro)<<run $vocab_list.push("Carriage : wagon (métro/train)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>: ''Hounslow West... Hammersmith... Earl's Court... South Kensington... Piccadilly Circus...''

You grab your luggage and step off the train. You made it to central London! 🎉 [[Exit the station and look for the hotel.|HotelArrival]]

<<set $confidence -= 1>> <<set $mistakes += 1>> You tap your Oyster card and head to the Westbound platform. After a few minutes, the train arrives and you get on. But something is wrong... The first station is ''"Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3"'' — and then the train <<linkreplace "terminates">>terminates (se termine / c'est le terminus)<<run $vocab_list.push("To terminate : se terminer (terminus)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. ''"This train terminates here.

<<set $transport to "taxi">> You follow the signs to the <<linkreplace "taxi rank">>taxi rank (station de taxis)<<run $vocab_list.push("Taxi rank : station de taxis")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>. A <<linkreplace "queue">>queue (file d'attente)<<run $vocab_list.push("Queue : file d'attente")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> of the famous black London cabs is waiting. You get into the first one. The driver is a friendly <<linkreplace "bloke">>bloke (type/mec — argot britannique)<<run $vocab_list.push("Bloke : type, mec (argot britannique)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>> with a thick London accent. ''"Afternoon! Where to, <<linkreplace "mate">>mate (mon pote — très courant en GB !)<<run $vocab_list.push("Mate : pote, ami (courant en GB)")>><<set $score += 1>><</linkreplace>>?"''
