1
Hello, I am from Clear Voice English and today I am going to teach you how to order coffee in English.
2
Let's go inside Starbucks.
3
So the first thing we need to know is a little bit of Starbucks history.
4
Starbucks was founded in 1971 and the first store opened in Seattle.
5
Today, there are more than 33 ,000 Starbucks stores around the world.
6
That number is crazy, right?
7
And this shows us how popular coffee is around the world.
8
People love coffee.
9
And before we start talking about what you can order at Starbucks, let's talk about where does the coffee come from.
10
At Starbucks, they use something called coffee beans.
11
Now coffee beans are actually the seeds from the coffee plant.
12
And guess what?
13
The coffee plant is a tree.
14
Yes, a tree.
15
And coffee trees grow in warm climates.
16
They do not like the cold.
17
The main places where coffee is grown are in South America like Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, and many other places.
18
Also, coffee is grown in Africa, too, like Ethiopia.
19
Ethiopia is very famous for their coffee.
20
At Starbucks, when you buy the coffee beans, you can actually scan this little barcode here and it will tell you exactly where your coffee is from.
21
Okay, so once the coffee beans arrive at Starbucks, they are roasted.
22
Now when we talk about roasting coffee, we are heating the beans to make them darker and to bring out the flavors and the smells.
23
There are three different types of roasts.
24
You have light roast, medium roast, and dark roast.
25
The longer the beans are roasted, the darker they become and the stronger the coffee will be.
26
If you don't like strong coffee, order a light roast.
27
Okay, now that we know all about coffee beans, let's talk about what we can order at Starbucks.
28
Here at Starbucks, you can get coffee hot or cold.
29
So first, I will tell you the hot drinks and then I will tell you the cold drinks.
30
When it comes to hot coffee, you can order an Americano.
31
An Americano is a very popular drink at Starbucks.
32
It's a strong coffee.
33
Basically, it's espresso with hot water.
34
You can ask for a macchiato.
35
A macchiato is similar to an americano, but it has less coffee.
36
It has a little bit of milk in it.
37
You can also order a latte.
38
A latte is espresso with hot milk and foamed milk.
39
Okay, next we have a cappuccino.
40
A cappuccino is similar to a latte, but it has more foam.
41
So if you like a lot of foam in your coffee, order a cappuccino.
42
A cappuccino has equal parts of espresso, hot milk and milk foam.
43
Also, you can order a mocha.
44
A mocha is a chocolate drink.
45
It's a mix of espresso, chocolate syrup, steamed milk and milk foam.
46
Yummy.
47
And of course, all of these drinks that I mentioned, you can get them iced.
48
Just say to the barista, can I get that iced?
49
And if you like coffee with a lot of ice, you can also ask for extra ice.
50
Now we have another popular drink here at Starbucks.
51
It's called a Frappuccino.
52
A Frappuccino is a blended drink.
53
So it's iced coffee that is blended with milk and sugar.
54
It's very delicious.
55
And it comes in different flavors like caramel, mocha, cinnamon dolce, which means sweet cinnamon in Italian.
56
And there are many other flavors to choose from.
57
Now let's talk about caffeine.
58
Some people are sensitive to caffeine.
59
It's the ingredient in coffee that makes you feel awake.
60
If you don't want a lot of caffeine, you can order decaf coffee.
61
Decaf means low caffeine.
62
So it's basically coffee with less caffeine.
63
You can also order half and half coffee or half -caf, which means half of the coffee will be regular
64
and the other half will be decaf let me show you
65

75
At Starbucks, they have special names for their sizes.
76
Small is called tall.
77
Medium is called grande, which means large in Spanish.
78
And large is called venti, which means 20 in Italian.

So venti means big.
80
And if you want a lot of coffee, you should order a venti.
81

84

86
My total was $6 .23.
87
It's a little bit pricey, right?
88
But you know, sometimes we have to spend a little bit more to get a little bit more.
89
So don't be afraid to treat yourself.
90
And remember, everyone starts somewhere.
91
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
92
And if you do make a mistake, laugh at yourself and keep trying.

¿Por qué practicar el habla con este video?

Aprender inglés con videos como este es una estrategia poderosa para dominar contextos reales. Al simular una situación cotidiana como pedir café en Starbucks, no solo adquieres vocabulario específico, sino que también practicas la fluidez y la confianza al interactuar en inglés. Este video te brinda la oportunidad de escuchar cómo se usan las frases en un entorno natural, lo que es esencial para mejorar tu pronunciación y tu capacidad de entender hablantes nativos. Ideal para la técnica de shadowing, donde repites en tiempo real lo que escuchas, fortaleciendo así tu memoria muscular y la entonación.

Gramática y expresiones en contexto

El video presenta estructuras clave que debes dominar. Por ejemplo, frases de petición como "Can I get that iced?" (¿Puedo tomar eso helado?) son esenciales para pedir bebidas. También, el uso de condicionales en oraciones como "If you don't like strong coffee, order a light roast" (Si no te gusta el café fuerte, pide un tostado claro) te ayuda a expresar situaciones hipotéticas. Otra expresión útil es "It's a mix of..." (Es una mezcla de...), perfecta para describir composiciones de bebidas. Además, el vocabulario específico como "espresso", "foam" (espuma) y "roast" (tostado) amplía tu léxico en el tema del café.

Trampas comunes de pronunciación

Mejorar la pronunciación en inglés requiere prestar atención a palabras difíciles. En el video, "Starbucks" suele ser pronunciada con un acento en la primera sílaba: STAR-bucks, no star-BUCKS. Otra trampa es "espresso", que se dice ehs-PRESS-oh, no es-PREH-so. Además, "macchiato" tiene el acento en la segunda sílaba: mah-kee-AH-toh. Las palabras como "roasted" (tostado) y "foamed" (espumado) deben pronunciarse con la "ed" suave, como un "t" en roast-ted y foam-ted. Practica estas palabras con la técnica de shadowing, repitiendo cada frase al mismo tiempo que el speaker para capturar la entonación y el ritmo correctos.

Gramática en este vídeo

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:

¿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.
