Full transcript
Since you started coming to Liverpool Hospital for your antenatal care, how have you been feeling this week, and has the swelling in your ankles gone down at all?
Dit het 'n bietjie beter geword, dokter, maar my voete swel nog steeds saans op, veral as ek lank gestaan het.
I'll check your blood pressure now, and please let me know if you've had any headaches, blurred vision, or dizziness this week.
Nee, ek het nie hoofpyne gehad nie, maar ek voel soms baie moeg teen die middagete-tyd.
Your blood pressure looks fine today. At twenty-six weeks, we usually arrange the glucose tolerance test, so I'll book that in for you now.
Moet ek vas voor daardie toets, dokter, of kan ek soggens iets liggs eet voordat ek hierheen kom?
You'll need to fast for about ten hours beforehand, and if you eat anything before then, we'll have to reschedule the whole test.
Goed, ek sal onthou om te vas. Kan ons vandag ook net gou na die baba se hartklop luister?
Let's listen to the baby's heartbeat now — it's around one hundred and forty beats per minute, which sounds completely healthy and normal today.
Dit is wonderlike nuus. Wanneer moet ek terugkom vir my volgende afspraak, en moet ek weer vas voor die tyd?
Your next appointment is at nine thirty next Thursday morning — please keep taking your folate tablets and bring your pregnancy record book.
Baie dankie, dokter. Ek sal die afspraak in my dagboek skryf en my folaat-tablette getrou bly neem.

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
