Story/context: Anna is at the cloakroom after a concert. She lost her cloakroom ticket (“талон”), so she can’t collect her coat yet. Oleg stays calm, asks the right questions, and they carefully match the details—until they find Anna’s own long black coat with a light-gray scarf… and an unexpected “almost” (a coat with a scarf that’s a bit darker and even an apple in the pocket!). What You’ll Learn How to explain the problem politely: «Я потеряла талон» / «У меня проблема» How to answer key questions about timing and location: when you arrived, where you sat How to describe a coat at A2 level: color, length, warmth, condition, and pockets How to handle “maybe it’s yours” moments: «Кажется… Проверьте, пожалуйста» How to confirm you found the right item: «Да, это моё. Всё верно» Useful Phrases in This Video «Извините, у меня проблема.» — Excuse me, I have a problem. «Я потеряла талон из гардероба.» — I lost the cloakroom ticket. «Что мне делать?» — What should I do? «Подождите, пожалуйста.» — Please wait a moment. «Опишите, пожалуйста, вашу вещь.» — Please describe your item. «Какого она цвета?» — What color is it? «Когда вы пришли?» — When did you arrive? «Где вы сидели?» — Where were you sitting? «У него большие карманы.» — It has big pockets. «Давайте посмотрим.» — Let’s look. «Кажется, это оно.

How This Lesson Works 1) Listen for the structure: problem → questions → coat details → “is it yours?” → confirmation. 2) Focus on the “detail clues”: color, length (below the knee), pockets, scarf color, and even what might be inside the pockets. 3) Repeat the key sentences (A2-friendly) so you can use them in real life right away.
