| There is so much to do and see in South Africa and there are times when access to some must-see places requires an admission ticket. So in this lesson, we're going to work on getting through the gate, as we'll look at buying tickets. |

| Altogether, we have Drie kaartjies asseblief. "Three tickets, please." |
| Sometimes, you will be asked to show your ticket not only at the entrance, so keep these admissions with you until you leave the place you are visiting. In that case, they will ask you… |
| kaartjies asseblief. This means, "Tickets, please." |
| (slow) kaartjies asseblief |
