Hello, English learners, and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
I'm Amira.
4
And Amira and I are here today with a great, great lesson for you.
5
Yes, we are.
6
Today, we're going to be talking about a restaurant.
7
Amira, why don't you give us a little bit more details?
8
Well, we're talking about a situation in a restaurant, and two people are involved, the waiter and the customer.
9
And I don't want to say anymore.
10
Okay, don't say anymore.
11
Let's just listen to this dialogue and we'll be back later to explain it.
12
Good evening.
13
My name is Fabio.
14
I'll be your waiter for tonight.
15
May I take your order?
16
No, I'm still working on it.
17
This menu's not even in English.
18
What's good here? For you, sir?
19
I would recommend spaghetti and meatballs.
20
Does it come with Coke and fries?
21
It comes with either soup or salad and a complimentary glass of wine, sir.
22
I'll go with the spaghetti and meatballs, salad and the wine.
23
Excellent choice.
24
Your order will be ready soon.
25
How soon is soon?
26
20 minutes.
27
You know what?
28
I'll just go grab a burger across the street.
29
But go a little bit, come in this place and ask me all these questions.
30
But go, go, go, go!
31
Uh oh, what a waiter.
32
What a waiter, he is really angry at this customer and I can't blame him.
33
I would be angry too.
34
Yeah, so I think Marco, you have chosen some interesting expressions for us here.
35
What is the first one?
36
Well, the first one is, I'm still working on it.
37
I'm still working on it.
38
I'm still working on it.

41
Did you finish reading the magazine?
42
I'm still working on it.
43
Did you fix my car?
44
I'm still working on it.
45

50

It's a phrase commonly used and you'll hear it all the time.
52
Coke and fries.
53
Coke and fries.
54
Coke and fries.
55
Coke and fries.
56
It's a short way of saying Coca-Cola and French fries.
57
So that's basically America's fast food.
58
Yeah, burger, Coke and fries.
59
Okay.
60
What's next on the menu?
61
On the menu we have a complimentary glass of wine.
62

63

71

72

75
Yeah, I'll choose or I'll take.
76

77
Okay, very good.
78
All right, the next word that I want to take a look at is grab.
79
Grab.
80
Grab.
81
Grab.
82
Okay, now let's listen to some other examples of how we could use grab in different situations
83
and then we'll come back and explain it.
84
on your way home can you grab some milk
85

86
Well, I would understand that go grab means go get quickly.
87
To go get quickly.
88
Yeah.
89
Yeah.
90
All right, everyone.
91
So now it's time to listen one more time to the dialogue
92
and listen carefully and try to understand why the waiter doesn't like the customer.
93
Let's listen.
94
Good evening.
95
My name is Fabio.
96
I'll be your waiter for tonight.
97
May I take your order?
98

101
For you, sir, I would recommend spaghetti and meatballs.
102
Does it come with Coke and fries?
103

104
I'll go with the spaghetti and meatballs, salad and the wine.

107
How soon is soon?
108
20 minutes?
109
You know what?
110
I'll just go grab a burger across the street.
111
Marco, why did this waiter get angry at the customer?
112
Well, he basically wasted the waiter's time.
113
I mean, this guy comes into the restaurant, he is not very polite, and he's asking all these questions, and in the end he just gets up and says,
114
I'll just go grab a burger across the street.
115
Yeah, and I also think that this guy was a lot more casual than the place he was in, right?
116
Yeah, yeah.
117
I think this was a nice, fancy restaurant.
118
So I think he was in the wrong place.
119
Yeah.
120
So how many times, Marco, tell me, do you really have fast food a week?
121
Fast food, let's see, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
122
No, I'm just kidding.
123
Oh, my God.
124
No, no. I think I get fast food maybe once a week, once or twice a week.
125
All right.
126
Talking about fast food made me hungry, so I think I'm going to go grab something to eat myself.
127
Yeah, me too.
128
All right.

Sobre esta lección
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
