1
Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.
2
Are you hungry?
3
I hope so.
4
Let's talk about it.
5
Do you like to cook meals at home nonstop, then doing the dishes and then preparing what you're going to make for the next meal all the time?
6
Probably not.
7
Sometimes it's nice to go to a restaurant, but nowadays things have changed a bit.
8
Here in the US, restaurants are slowly starting to open, but not everyone feels comfortable going to a restaurant.
9
For me, I have two young children, so even without the current situation,
10
it's still a little bit complicated to go into a restaurant, but we don't always want to cook.
11
Sometimes it's nice to eat restaurant food.
12
So what we can do is order food on the phone, pick up the food and take it home to eat.
13
Or sometimes we take it to a park to eat.
14
And that is what I would like to do today with you.
15
I'd like to invite you to join me as I order food on the phone and pick it up.
16
This is a very natural daily life situation.
17
You are going to hear a fast conversation that I have on the phone with the woman who's working at the restaurant.
18
But after each short clip from the conversation, I'm going to be explaining to you the phrases we used,
19
the different expressions so that you can use this as well.
20
Because sometimes talking on the phone is tough.
21
You can't see the other person, but also there's a lot of background noise.
22
Sometimes the restaurant is loud.
23
The person on the phone is just speaking quickly.
24
They're not thinking about your perspective.
25
So today I want to break down this conversation and help you to tackle this seemingly tough situation.
26
But after this conversation, I hope it will be more doable and approachable.
27
We're going to be watching each of the clips from the conversation one time, then I'm going to explain it, and then you'll watch it again after my explanation.
28
I hope that the second time will be more understandable to you.
29
Your listening skills will have improved.
30
Your grammar and vocabulary will have improved.
31
So put your helmet on, put your seatbelt on.
32
This is going to be a fast ride, but you can do it.
33
All right, Let's get started with my clip.
34
We just got back from a hike and I'm so hungry, but we really don't have much food in our fridge.
35
So we decided to order out
36
and I thought I would invite you to join me in
37
the process of ordering food out at a restaurant to go pick up.
38
So let's see what happens.
39
Hi, I'm Kathy.
40
This is Mackenzie.
41
I'm coming out here.
42
Hi, I'd like to make an order Order for pickup.
43
This was a pretty fast start, wasn't it?
44
Well, in this first clip, I introduced what I wanted to do very clearly and directly.
45
I said, I would like to make an order for pickup.
46
For pickup means that I'm going to be the one getting the food, but we could switch that out and say, I would like to make an order for delivery.
47
And that means that that restaurant will bring the food to your house.
48
Now this is typically in the US only available for big restaurants, like chain restaurants.
49
The restaurant that I'm ordering from, there's only one of them near my house.
50
It's not an international or even a national or even a citywide restaurant.
51
There's only one of them, so they don't have a delivery service.
52
So that's why I said for pickup and I used the verb would.
53
I would like, very polite.
54
I would like to make an order for pickup.
55
All right, we're going to listen to that clip one more time.
56
I hope that you'll be able to understand a little bit more.
57
I know it starts off with a bang, but I hope you'll be able to understand a little bit more.
58
We're going to listen to that first part of the clip
59
and then you're going to watch the second part of the clip as well that I'll explain in just a minute.
60
Let's go.
61
Hi, I'd like to make an order for pickup.
62
Yeah, definitely.
63
What can I get for you?
64
Yes, I'd like to get the duck spring rolls.
65
All right.
66
Also a big Greek salad.
67
All right.
68
You heard, what can I get for you?
69
She said, what can I get for you?
70
This is a common restaurant expression when you're ordering on the phone.
71
She wants to know, what are you going to order?
72
This is similar to the phrase, how can I help you?
73
But usually we hear, what can I get for you at a restaurant?
74
And how can I help you in a retail store where you're going to buy clothes
75
or buy a phone or something like this?
76
Notice that in my answer, I used the word the before my order.
77
This is extremely common in a restaurant.
78
I said the duck spring rolls.
79
I'd like to order the duck spring rolls.
80
I'm talking about a specific item on the menu.
81
So you might say, as you're looking at the menu, even in a fast food restaurant,
82
you might say, oh, I'd like to order the number five pork dumplings.
83
Okay.
84
You're talking about that specific item, the number five.
85
All right.
86
Now we're going to listen to that clip one more time.
87
Listen for what can I get for you?
88
And my answer, the duck spring rolls.
89
After we listen to that clip, we're going to immediately listen to the next clip get ready
90
let's listen yes I'd like to get the duck spring rolls also a big Greek salad
91
all right also enter the dragon
92
and how did you want
93
that uh what do you recommend we recommend medium rare to rare okay um how about medium rare?
94
All righty.
95
There is a lot happening in this short clip.
96
I ordered a tuna dish and this dish just has a fancy name, Enter the Dragon on their menu.
97
She asked me an important question.
98
She said, how did you want that cooked?
99
Notice that she uses the past tense.
100
How did you want that cooked?
101
And you can use this equally the same amount as how do you want that cooked?
102
She could have asked me either question and they both would have been equally fine.
103
How did you want that cooked?
104
How do you want that cooked?
105
Sometimes we use these kind of flexible tenses to be more polite in these restaurant situations.
106
Unless you are working in a restaurant, maybe you are, you don't need to worry about the tense.
107
It's more important to understand the context and how to answer.
108
But you might hear people say this, how did you want that cooked?
109
Or how do you want that cooked.
110
She's asking about how done or how cooked I want my tuna.
111
This is often asked for fish, like tuna, salmon, and sometimes for hamburgers or steak, which you'll see in just a minute.
112
There are different levels of doneness.
113
This is what we call it, doneness, how much you would like it cooked.
114
There is rare, which is basically raw, very red in the middle.
115
Then we have medium rare, pretty red still.
116
Then we have medium, a little pink in the middle.
117
Then we have medium well, just a small amount of pink and then well done or well,
118
and this is no pink in the middle.
119
This is completely cooked.
120
Usually this is not recommended for these types of meats.
121
So what I like to do is what you just saw.
122
I like to ask the restaurant what they recommend.
123
You're welcome to to do this too.
124
This is very common in a restaurant.
125
I want to know what the chef or what the restaurant thinks is the best amount of doneness for the meat.
126
I don't want it overcooked.
127
I don't want it undercooked.
128
I want them to make the best decision here.
129
Of course, if you have some special diet needs, then you can say what you want and it's not going to offend the restaurant.
130
If they say, we recommend medium and you say, oh no, no, no, I don't want any red.
131
I want it to be well done.
132
That's fine.
133
They'll do what you want.
134
The customer is always right.
135
But for me, I like to ask what they recommend.
136
You also heard me say this phrase, how about medium rare?
137
How about...
138
Why did I say this?
139
Usually we use how about to give a polite suggestion to other people.
140
For example, you might say to your friends, how about we go to the beach this afternoon?
141
And you're just giving a suggestion.
142
You're not saying, we have to go to the beach.
143
You're just giving a suggestion.
144
It doesn't seem a little bit strange
145
that the customer would give a suggestion to the restaurant because they will do whatever I want.
146
I'm the customer.
147
This is very normal.
148
Why do I need to give a suggestion?
149
Well, I'm just being polite.
150
This is a common phrase that we use when we're in these type of restaurant or store situations.
151
Let's imagine that you're trying on a shirt in a store and you like the shirt, but you don't exactly like the color.
152
So the employee comes to you and says, can I get that for you in a different color?
153
You might say, yeah, how about red?
154
You're suggesting I would like to try this shirt, but in a different color.
155
You might say, yeah, how about red?
156
Or you could also say, do you have red?
157
I'd like to try red.
158
But we often use this lovely expression, how about?
159
How about medium rare?
160
How about red?
161
Great.
162
All right.
163
Let's watch that clip one more time.
164
I want you to listen carefully for how she asked me about how I want it cooked, how I answered, how I said how about,
165
and then we're going to go on to the next clip where I'm also going to continue my order.
166
carefully.
167
Also, enter the dragon.
168
And how did you want that cooked?
169
What do you recommend?
170
We recommend medium rare to rare.
171
Okay, how about medium rare?
172
All right.
173
And finally, the Gustavo's Gourmet Hamburger Steak.
174
All right, wonderful.
175
And how would you like that cooked?
176
What do you think?
177
You think medium well is normal for that?
178
I mean, most people go for medium on that one.
179
Okay.
180
Let's just do medium then.
181
All right.
182
In this clip, I finished ordering all of the food that I was going to get because I, you'll see later, I have a gift certificate.
183
So I decided to order a lot of food because I wouldn't really need to pay for it.
184
But did you notice in this clip, if you did not, when we watch it again, please try to notice, I said the in front of my order,
185
the Gustavo's hamburger steak, the, because I'm talking about a specific item on their menu.
186
When I asked her about what is normal for the doneness of the hamburger steak,
187
she said, most people go for medium on that one.
188
Do you know this phrasal verb to go for?
189
Most people go for medium on this one.
190
It is extremely common to use this phrasal verb in restaurants.
191
When you are ordering something, you might say, all right, I'm going to go for the tuna and the steak.
192
I'm going to go for the salad.
193
I'm going to go for...
194
This just means to choose.
195
I'm going to choose that one, but we use this phrasal verb a lot when we're ordering in a restaurant.
196
All right, let's watch that clip again and go on to the next clip.
197
Listen carefully.
198
And finally, the Gustavo's gourmet hamburger steak.
199
Oh, right.
200
Wonderful.
201
And how would you like that, sir?
202
Um, what do you think?
203
You think medium well is normal for that?
204
I mean, I'm not going to go for medium on that one.
205
Okay, let's just do medium then.
206
Alrighty.
207
And anything else for you?
208
That's all.
209
All right.
210
So I've got the duck springer, also large-rate salad, the tuna, I took medium rare, and then the Gustavo, I took medium.
211
Yes, that's it.
212
Here she is repeating my order to make sure that I got everything correct.
213
I think this is a common practice around the world in restaurants.
214
Seems like a good idea, right?
215
But I used two phrases with the word that's.
216
They are slightly different, so I want to help you understand them
217
and also use them because we use them all the time, like a lot of expressions from this video.
218
So when she asks anything else for you, she's wanting to know, are you going to order anything else?
219
Anything else for you?
220
And I said, that's all.
221
That's all means I'm finished.
222
There is no more, this is the end, that's all.
223
It's not rude to say, it is extremely helpful in fact to say, anything else I can get for you?
224
Nope, that's all, thank you.
225
After she listed all of the things that I ordered, I said, that's it.
226
That's it.
227
Yes, that's it.
228
How is this different from that's all?
229
Well, here I'm telling her, you got it correct.
230
That's it.
231
This is common in other situations too, not just restaurants.
232
This is very useful for you as an English learner.
233
If you're having a conversation and you forget a word, which happens to us all, even for native English speakers, this happens too.
234
You might be talking about an experience you had driving.
235
I was driving down the street and then a dog ran into the road and I didn't want to hit the dog.
236
So I turned my car and I ran into a, what's that word?
237
The thing on the side of the road.
238
It goes down, rain is in it sometimes.
239
And your friend might say, a ditch.
240
You ran into a ditch.
241
And here you can use our key expression.
242
You can say, that's it.
243
Yes, I ran into a ditch.
244
You're letting that person know with enthusiasm that they got it correct.
245
That was the word that you were thinking of.
246
So here I used, that's it, to tell her, you got my order correct.
247
Yep, that's it.
248
Or you could tell your friend, that's it.
249
understood the word that I was trying to say.
250
All right, let's go back and watch this clip and then go on to the next clip.
251
All righty.
252
And anything else for you?
253
That's all.
254
All right.
255
So I've got the duck springer, the lychrate, solid, the tuna, it's like medium rare, and then the Gustavo's like medium.
256
Yes, that's it.
257
All right.
258
Perfect.
259
We'll have this ready to take that probably in about 15 minutes.
260
Is that okay?
261
Yes.
262
I have a quick question though.
263
I was given a gift certificate to Stoney Knob.
264
When I pay?
265
Should I just bring that with me or what should I do?" Because I don't order pickup very often, I wasn't sure what this restaurant wanted to do.
266
I didn't know if they wanted me to pay over the phone.
267
Sometimes they'll ask for your card number over the phone or
268
if they wanted me to just pay when I went to the restaurant.
269
So that's why I asked.
270
And because I had a gift certificate, I wasn't sure what their process was.
271
So I simply asked them, what should I do?
272
And this is good news for you because maybe there's multiple cultural practices that you're not sure about.
273
It is no problem to ask.
274
I asked, you saw me ask, I didn't know what to do.
275
This is my home country.
276
I feel familiar with a lot of the customs, but there's still things that I don't know too.
277
And I want to make sure that I'm being polite to that restaurant.
278
So I just asked, what should I do?
279
And I also, because it's a gift certificate, I wanted them to be aware of this in case there were any little rules about the gift certificate.
280
Sometimes gift certificates or gift cards have rules like, you need to go into the store to pay, or you need to spend this much money to use it.
281
So I just wanted them to be aware so that there were no surprises when I went to pick up my food.
282
All right, let's watch this clip and then go on to our next one.
283
All right, perfect.
284
We'll have this ready to take about 15 minutes.
285
Is that okay?
286
Yes.
287
I have a quick question, though.
288
I was given a gift certificate to Stoney Knob.
289
When I pay, should I just bring that with me or what should I do?
290
Yeah, just bring it with you and we can just take it from you.
291
You can either come in and pay with it
292
or we can just take it from you in the car and do it inside.
293
Okay.
294
So either way, yeah, but just bring it with you.
295
In this clip, she's giving me two options.
296
One option is I can go into the restaurant and pay for the food when I arrive, or they will come to my car,
297
take my payment, go in, make the payment and bring it back to me.
298
There are two options.
299
She uses a lovely expression here.
300
She says either way, you can use this in so many situations in daily life.
301
If you and your friend are going to drive to the beach and you're not sure whose car you're going to take,
302
you might say, well, should you drive or should I?
303
And your friend might say, I don't know, either way is fine with me.
304
Or if your friend says, well, do you want to cook tonight or do you want to go to a restaurant?
305
You might say, either way is fine with me.
306
Either way.
307
Both of these are okay with you.
308
Either way.
309
All right, let's go and watch this clip again and then go on to our next one.
310
Yeah, just bring it with you and we'll be able, we can just take it from you.
311
You can either come in to pay with it
312
or we can just take it from you in the car and do it inside.
313
Okay.
314
So either way, yeah, but just bring it with you.
315
Okay.
316
I should just give you a call when I get there.
317
Yes, ma'am.
318
That would be great.
319
I live in the South of the US and it is quite common to use the term ma'am, even though I'm probably not that much older than she is.
320
I'm not her mother or her grandmother, but it's still polite in the South to say, ma'am.
321
So if someone asks me a question, I might say, oh, yes, ma'am, that's right.
322
If I'm talking on the phone to my bank, or even if I go into a restaurant, I might say that, or into the bank.
323
This is polite, but it is not necessary.
324
If you say this in the North or in the West or in the Midwest of the US, I don't think this is as common,
325
but in the South of the US, when you say ma'am, this is only for women, just to let you know, when you say ma'am to a woman or yes,
326
sir, to a man, their eyes get all sparkly and lit up because you're being so polite.
327
And in Southern culture where I live, this is kind of what children are taught.
328
They're taught that when you say yes, ma'am, yes, sir, You're being polite to older people,
329
but even in restaurant situations when there's not a big age difference, this is still a polite situation with a store and a customer.
330
So you're going to hear those expressions if you visit the South of the US.
331
Please don't feel like you need to use ma'am when you're talking with people on a daily basis, but I just wanted you to know why she said ma'am to me on the phone.
332
All right, let's watch that clip one more time and then go on to our next one.
333
Okay, I should just give you a call when I get there.
334
Yes, ma'am.
335
That would be great.
336
All right.
337
Let me see.
338
What's the name for your order?
339
Vanessa?
340
And a phone number?
341
It's 412.
342
Did you hear that question she asked, what's the name for the order?
343
Why didn't she ask me, what's your name?
344
She wants to know who can they write on the receipt
345
or on the ticket so they can deliver it to the right person in their car.
346
why didn't she ask me, what's your name?
347
She could have said that.
348
And you might hear that sometimes for pickup orders, but it's a little bit more common to hear what's the name for the order,
349
because maybe I'm not going to be the person who picks up the order.
350
Maybe it's going to be someone else.
351
Maybe I'm making an order for someone else.
352
For some reason, this expression is just more common in restaurant situations when you're making an order.
353
What's the name for the order?
354
It feels a little more indirect too, not too personal, like, what's your name?
355
I want to be your friend.
356
It's a little more separated.
357
So you feel like it's a professional situation.
358
They're only asking for a business reason, not for a personal reason.
359
What's the name for the order?
360
And I just told her my name.
361
Okay.
362
Let's watch that little clip again, and then we will finish this first conversation in the next clip.
363
All right.
364
Take a deep breath.
365
Let's watch.
366
Let me see.
367
What's the name for your order?
368
Vanessa.
369
And a phone number?
370
It's 412.
371
Oh, right.
372
And yeah, if you don't mind, just give us a call when you pull in.
373
We'll bring it out to you and get the gift card and all that.
374
Okay.
375
Thank you so much.
376
No problem.
377
We'll see you then.
378
Bye.
379
All right.
380
Bye-bye.
381
She uses another polite expression here.
382
If you don't mind, just give us a call when you pull in.
383
This phrase, if you don't mind, is lovely to use in business situations or just anytime that you want to be polite.
384
You might ask your coworker, if you don't mind, can you send me an email when you're all done?
385
If you don't mind.
386
Or maybe my husband already has a long list of things
387
that he's going to make at the grocery store or things he's going to buy at the grocery store.
388
And as he's leaving the door, I might say, oh wait, if you don't mind, can you pick up another bag of apples?
389
This is a little bit, maybe a little bit inconvenient for him because he already has a list, he's about to leave.
390
So I just want to use this polite expression.
391
You don't always need to use it, but there are many situations when you can just to be polite.
392
Did you recognize that she used a phrasal verb at the end of her question, to pull in.
393
Do you know what that means?
394
Just give us a call when you pull in.
395
This is talking about my car arriving to the parking lot.
396
That means that I have arrived at the restaurant.
397
You might use this phrasal verb to text your friend
398
or to call your friend when you are meeting her at a store, for example.
399
You might say, hey, I'll be in in a minute.
400
I just pulled in.
401
That means that your car just arrived in the parking lot.
402
This is especially if you're driving.
403
If you're taking the bus, you might say, yeah, the bus just pulled in.
404
I'll be there in just a second, but we use it more often for when we're driving.
405
I just pulled in.
406
I'll be inside in a minute.
407
All right, we have successfully made an order on the phone, but we need to pick it up.
408
So there's a couple more clips that I'd like to show you so that you can successfully pick up food in English.
409
Let's watch that first clip.
410
Hey, so sorry.
411
No, you're fine.
412
I was coming to pick up a pickup order.
413
Okay.
414
What was the name?
415
Vanessa.
416
Vanessa.
417
Okay.
418
I'll go see if that's right.
419
Thank you.
420
I used the phrase, I was coming to pick up a pickup order.
421
You see how I use this as a verb to pick up and then also as a noun, a pickup order.
422
It's the same idea here, but I used an interesting verb tense.
423
I said, I was coming.
424
Do you notice how this is the past?
425
We saw this earlier as well, that we sometimes are a little bit more fluid in tenses when we're being extra polite,
426
but it is no problem to say, I'm picking up a pickup order in the present tense.
427
I am picking up an order or I'm here to pick up a pickup order.
428
No problem.
429
There's a couple of different expressions we can use, and that's just the one that I chose.
430
I'm not sure if it's the same for your country nowadays,
431
but in the US, we are still required or suggested to wear a mask in face-to-face conversations that are close together,
432
especially in these kind of public situations like restaurants and stores, these types of things.
433
So for her, she probably a little bit uncomfortable.
434
She needs to wear her mask during her whole work day.
435
But for me, only when I'm interacting with the customer is this type of thing or with the employee, is this type of thing necessary.
436
I'm curious what it's like in your country right now.
437
Let me know in the comments what that's like.
438
All right, let's watch that clip one more time.
439
I want you to listen carefully for my wonderful phrase, and then we're going to watch watch the next clip.
440
Hey, so sorry.
441
No, you're fine.
442
I was coming to pick up a pickup order.
443
Okay, what was the name?
444
Vanessa.
445
Vanessa, okay, I'll go see if that's right.
446
Thank you.
447
I think it was going to be $65.27.
448
Okay, I have my gift certificate.
449
Okay.
450
That's what someone gave me in my card.
451
All right, I'll be right back.
452
Thanks so much.
453
Did you notice that she told me the total for my order, but she didn't use the word dollar?
454
She said, that's going to be 6527.
455
This is a lot more than I normally spend at a restaurant, maybe double the amount that I normally spend, but I had a gift certificate,
456
so I felt like it was okay to splurge of it.
457
Usually eating out at a local restaurant is not that expensive, at least in my city.
458
If you come to visit a small town in the US, don't worry, it's usually not that expensive.
459
But I thought that it would be a fun time to splurge of it.
460
So I want you to know that when she was telling me the amount of money, she didn't say dollars, she only said the number 6527.
461
If If you'd like to practice some big numbers in English, like hotel numbers, phone numbers, dates, these types of things,
462
I made a whole video just specifically for how to say big numbers in English.
463
It can be a little bit complex.
464
We have a lot of different expressions for this, so you can check out that lesson up here if you want to dive deeper into it.
465
All right, let's watch that clip one more time and then go on to the next one.
466
I think it's going to be 65, 27.
467
Okay.
468
I have my...
469
It's a gift certificate.
470
Okay.
471
So someone gave me in my card.
472
All right, I'll be right there.
473
Thanks so much.
474
All right, if you could sign these for us.
475
Thanks so much.
476
Do you guys have a lot of people come in to do pickup like this?
477
Yeah.
478
That's awesome.
479
Do you know why I asked her, do you have people coming in for pickup orders like this often?
480
Why did I ask her that?
481
It's not necessary, but sometimes I kind of like to have a little small talk at a grocery store or at a restaurant not, because I'm curious about what their experience is like.
482
So if I'm at the grocery store, I might ask, yeah, have you guys been really busy today?
483
Or just some kind of question to ask about them.
484
Maybe it's not appreciated by them.
485
Maybe it is, I don't know, but it's just something interesting for me.
486
But I want to talk about one expression that we used here so that you can use it too.
487
She said, if you could sign these for us, if you could.
488
This is extremely polite.
489
We often use the full expression, if you could sign these for us, it would be great.
490
It would be great is used at the end.
491
Make sure that you use would.
492
It would be great.
493
This is using a if type of sentence.
494
If you could sign these, that would be great.
495
But she cut off that end part.
496
It is implied or understood.
497
I knew what she meant.
498
That's perfectly fine.
499
It's very normal to do that.
500
But at the beginning, she's asking me to do something.
501
Do you know what she's asking me to sign?
502
This is the receipt.
503
She's asking me to sign it because I used my debit card, but also I needed to write a tip on the receipt.
504
And there's a spot on the receipt.
505
It says the total.
506
And then underneath that, there's a line that says tip.
507
And then beyond that, it says total.
508
So you have to do a little math.
509
But usually in the US, it is common, even for pickup orders where there's not a normal server to give 20% for a tip.
510
So the easiest way to do this is to take the first number.
511
So in my case, that's six and to double it, which is 12.
512
And because it was 65, I could add an extra dollar.
513
So I could give her a $13 tip or you can give more if you want to be extra generous.
514
Or if the service is not too good, you can give less, but 20% is expected.
515
This is a kind of an annoying custom in the US because all of a sudden your bill gets a lot higher,
516
but it is necessary and it's pretty rude, extremely rude if you don't give a tip.
517
In fact, for this server, my tip is the only money that she's going to make.
518
The restaurant doesn't really pay her.
519
I think they pay her like $2 an hour.
520
It just covers some basic fees, but it doesn't really go to her kind of tax money.
521
But my money, your tip money is the money, the only salary that the server will make.
522
This is very different from other countries.
523
So keep this in mind as you are tipping your server.
524
For me, I've been a server for a part-time job many times in high school and in college.
525
So I know that tips are very important for servers.
526
And if I can be extra generous for a tip, I always try to do this.
527
It's just something that's appreciated.
528
So I wrote the tip amount, then I did some math to see how much it would cost in total, and I gave it back to her.
529
A quick note about a gift certificate.
530
If you have a gift certificate or a gift card, for me, my total was $67 and I had a $50 gift card,
531
but I gave a 20% tip based on the total amount, not based on the amount that I paid.
532
So I gave a 20% tip from $67, not from the amount that I paid.
533
This is important because there's some complicated stuff that goes on in the restaurant where you should,
534
in the end, you should give 20% tip based on the total amount, even if you have a gift card, even if you have a coupon,
535
gift certificate, any of this based on the total amount.
536
All right, let's go on to our final clip.
537
We're going to watch that clip one more time, then go on to our final clip.
538
Take a deep breath.
539
Let's watch.
540
All right, if you could sign these for us.
541
so much do you guys have a lot of people come
542
in to do pick up yeah like this yeah that's awesome
543
and i don't need that back guys give that to you guys yeah all right sorry thanks so much Thank you.
544
In this clip, she said, here you are.
545
Is she saying, I am in the car?
546
Here you are in the car.
547
No. Instead, this is common when you hand someone something from a store, from a restaurant, these type of situations.
548
She could also have said, here you go.
549
They both mean exactly the same thing.
550
Here you go.
551
Here you are.
552
If you go to a store and the cashier gives you a bag
553
that has your dress that you just purchased in it, the cashier might say, here you go, have a nice day.
554
They're just handing you the bag.
555
That's a common expression for giving someone something.
556
Here you go.
557
Here you are.
558
All right, let's watch that clip one final time.
559
Are you ready?
560
Let's do it.
561
And I don't need that back.
562
Can I just give that to you guys?
563
Sorry.
564
Thanks so much.
565
Thank you.
566
Thanks so much for joining me as I ordered food on the phone and picked it up.
567
I hope that you learned a lot of useful daily expressions in this lesson.
568
And now I have a question for you.
569
In the comments, let me know, how often do you eat in a restaurant?
570
Or you can use the phrasal verb, how often do you eat out?
571
Let me know in the comments and thank you so much for learning English with me.
572
I'll see you again next Friday for a new lesson here on my YouTube channel.
573
Bye.
574
And now my family is enjoying our food as a little picnic on our back deck.
575
It was so nice to not cook, to not clean up dishes, and to just be able to enjoy this special meal as a family.

Warum dieses Video ideal fürs Englisch sprechen üben ist
Das Video "Order Food in an American Restaurant" ist ein Goldmine für Lerner, die realistische Alltagsgespräche üben wollen. Die Dialoge sind flüssig, unaufgesetzt und reflektieren genau, wie Amerikaner*innen in Restaurants telefonieren – mit schnellen Sätzen, regionalen Wendungen und alltäglichen Redewendungen. Das macht es perfekt, um nicht nur Vokabeln, sondern auch die natürliche Rhythmus des Englischen zu lernen. Zusätzlich erklärt die Sprecherin Schlüsselphrasen direkt nach dem Dialog, was das Verstehen erleichtert. So kombiniert das Video Hörverstehen und Sprechen auf eine praktische Weise.
Analyse: 3 natürliche Sätze und warum sie funktionieren
- "I'd like to make an order for pickup.": Diese Phrase ist höflich und direkt – typisch für amerikanische Telefonate. "Would like" statt "want" macht sie höflicher, und "for pickup" klärt sofort, dass man das Essen selbst abholt. Ein Muss für jede Restaurantbestellung.
- "What can I get for you?": Der Kellner*in fragt nicht "What do you want?", sondern nutzt eine freundlichere Form. Diese Wendung ist in Restaurants allgegenwärtig und zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, kontextspezifische Redewendungen zu lernen.
- "How about medium rare?": Mit "How about" macht man einen Vorschlag, ohne zu fordern. Das klingt höflich und natürlich – selbst wenn man als Kunde die Entscheidung trifft. Diese Flexibilität macht den Satz so nützlich.
Practice Routine: So verbessern Sie Ihre Aussprache mit Shadowing
Um die Sätze wirklich zu beherrschen, probieren Sie Shadow Speech (auch "Shadowing" genannt). So geht's: Spielen Sie einen kurzen Clip des Dialogs ab, pausieren Sie und wiederholen Sie sofort nach, so genau wie möglich – mit der gleichen Intonation und Geschwindigkeit. Wiederholen Sie das 3–5 Mal pro Clip. Dann recorden Sie sich selbst und vergleichen Sie es mit dem Original. Das hilft, Ihre Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und den natürlichen Fluss des Sprechens zu lernen. Fokusieren Sie sich zuerst auf einzelne Sätze, dann auf ganze Dialoge. Mit dieser Methode üben Sie nicht nur Vokabeln, sondern auch die richtige Betonung und Rhythmus – essenziell fürs flüssige Englisch sprechen.
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Bedingungssätze if + Satz, will/would + Verb – eine Bedingung und ihre Folge | If you could sign these, that would be |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is often asked · is not recommended · was given |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | have changed · have arrived · I've been |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | rare, which is · person who picks |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
