I'm Alex.
4
Hello, Alex.
5
Hello everyone.
6
I'm Lisa.
7
How are you today, Alex?
8
I am wonderful today, Lisa.
9
I just had the best lunch.
10
Oh, what did you eat?
11
I made a big bowl of pasta with tomato sauce,
12
garlic, and fresh basil on top.
13
Fresh basil?
14
That sounds very fancy.
15
It is not fancy at all.
16
Very simple.
17
But it tasted amazing.
18
I had a sad lunch today.
19
Sad lunch?
20
What happened?
21
I forgot to go to the supermarket, so I had bread.
22
And one egg.
23
That is all.
24
One egg?
25
One lonely egg.
26
Lisa, you need to plan your meals better.
27
I know.
28
I always say I will cook something nice,
29
and then I end up with bread and one egg.
30
Well, today's topic might help you,
31
or at least inspire you.
32
Oh, what are we talking about today?
33
Today we are talking about food.
34
Specifically, how to talk about your favorite food in English.
35
Food.
36
This is my favorite topic.
37
Even if my lunch was sad.
38
Let's start.
39
But first, before we start,
40

47
We love our listeners.
48
Okay, let's talk about food.
49
So Lisa, let me ask you,
50
if someone asks you in English,
51
what is your favorite food?
52
What do you say?
53
Um, I say I like food.
54
That is a very general answer.
55
I know.
56
I don't know how to describe food in English.
57
I can say delicious.
58
That is one word.
59
That is all I have.
60
Well, after today, you will have many more words.
61
Talking about food is one of the most useful things in English.
62
You use it at restaurants,
63
with new friends, at work, everywhere.
64
Yes, food is a universal topic.
65
Everybody eats.
66
Exactly.
67
And when you can talk about food,
68
well, conversations become easy and fun.
69
So today, let's learn how, step by step.
70
Step by step.
71
I am ready.
72
Okay, first things first.
73
How do you say what your favorite food is?
74
My favorite food is...
75
Yes, that is the basic sentence.
76
My favorite food is.. and then you name it.
77
My favorite food is pho.
78
Good.
79
Now, sometimes people ask in a different way.
80
They say, what do you like to eat?
81
Or, what kind of food do you like?
82
Oh, different questions.
83
Same answer?
84
Yes.
85
The answer is similar.
86
I love eating pho.
87
Or, I really like Vietnamese food.
88
Or, I enjoy spicy food.
89
I like those.
90
I love eating.
91
I really like.
92
I enjoy.
93
These three phrases are very natural.
94
I love, I really like, I enjoy.
95
They are all positive.
96
But they have small differences.
97
What is the difference?
98
I love is the strongest feeling.
99
Very strong.
100
I really like is strong but a little less.
101
I enjoy is more calm.
102
More relaxed.
103
Like, this makes me happy.
104
So I love pizza.
105
I really like pasta.
106
I enjoy a good soup.
107
Perfect.
108
And you can also say what you don't like.
109
I don't really like or I'm not a big fan of.
110
I'm not a big fan of.
111
What does that mean exactly?
112
A big fan means someone who loves something very much.
113
So I'm not a big fan of means I don't love it.
114
Maybe it's okay, but not my favorite.
115
I'm not a big fan of bitter vegetables.
116
Very natural.
117
Good job.
118
So we have I love,
119
I really like, I enjoy,
120
I'm not a big fan of.
121
Four phrases to start.
122
Okay.
123
Segment two.
124
How to describe the taste of food.
125
Taste words.
126
Yes.
127
I only know delicious.
128
Delicious is great.
129
But let's learn more.
130
The five basic tastes in English.
131
Do you know them?
132
Um, sweet, salty, spicy.
133
Good.
134
Two more.
135
Sour and bitter.
136
Sour.
137
Like lemon?
138
Exactly.
139
Sour means sharp.
140
Like lemon or vinegar, your face goes like this when something is very sour.
141
Yes, my face does that.
142
And bitter.
143
Bitter means a strong, slightly unpleasant taste,
144
like dark chocolate or black coffee with no sugar.
145
Oh, I like bitter things.
146
Dark chocolate is bitter, but I love it.
147
Good example.
148
Now, beyond the five tastes,
149
we have more describing words.
150
Rich.
151
Rich means the flavor is very deep and strong,
152
like a thick stew or a creamy sauce.
153
Rich.
154
Okay.
155
A rich chocolate cake.
156
Yes.
157
And light.
158
Light means not heavy, not too strong,
159
easy to eat, like a salad or queer soup.
160
A light soup.
161
Perfect for summer.
162
And one more very useful word, comforting.
163
Comforting means the food makes you feel warm and happy inside, like home.
164
Oh, this word is beautiful, comforting.
165
What food is comforting for you, Lisa?
166
For me, a bowl of pho on a cold day.
167
That is comforting.
168
Perfect.
169
Now, you can also combine these words.
170
One food can have more than one taste.
171
Like sweet and sour?
172
Exactly.
173
Sweet and sour sauce is a real dish.
174
And you can say, this dish is both sweet and a little sour.
175
Or, it starts salty and ends slightly sweet.
176
Starts salty and ends slightly sweet.
177
That sounds like a very interesting food.
178
It does.
179
And that kind of description makes people want to try it to try it.
180
When you describe food well, you make people hungry.
181
I want to make people hungry with my descriptions.
182
Then practice these words.
183
One more thing.
184
The word savory.
185
Savory means not sweet.
186
It is the taste of meat, cheese, soup, grilled food.
187
Savory.
188
So breakfast can be sweet,
189
like fruit and yogurt, or savory like eggs and toast.
190
Exactly right.
191
Sweet breakfast or savory breakfast.
192
Many people have a strong preference.
193
Preference means which one you like more.
194
I prefer savory breakfast, eggs and bread, or rice and soup.
195
Good.
196
So now we have sweet,
197
salty, spicy, sour, bitter, rich, light, comforting, savory.
198
These words help you describe any food.
199
I have so many more words now.
200
Not just delicious.
201
Delicious is still good, but now you have a whole flavor vocabulary.
202
Now, taste is not everything.
203
We also talk about texture.
204
Texture?
205
What is that?
206
Texture is how food feels in your mouth,
207
not the taste, the feeling.
208
Oh, like soft or hard.
209
Exactly.
210
Soft and hard are two texture words.
211
Let me give you more.
212
Crispy.
213
Do you know Crispy?
214
Crispy?
215
Like fried chicken skin?
216
Yes!
217
Crispy means it makes a sound when you bite it.
218
Crunch.
219
It is light and hard on the outside.
220
I love crispy food.
221
Crispy spring rolls.
222
Another one.
223
Chewy.
224
Chewy means you need to chew it many times.
225
It is soft, but takes time to eat.
226
Like mochi?
227
The Japanese rice cake?
228
Perfect example.
229
Mochi is very chewy.
230
And one more.
231
Creamy.
232
Creamy means smooth, soft, rich.
233
Like ice cream or mashed potatoes.
234
Creamy mashed potatoes.
235
Now I am hungry.
236
Me too.
237
So texture words.
238
Soft, hard, crispy, chewy, creamy.
239
when you describe food, combine taste and texture.
240
For example?
241
Um, crispy spring rolls with a light sour dipping sauce.
242
That is an excellent description.
243
I can picture it perfectly.
244
Because it is real.
245
I want some right now.
246
Okay, another useful thing, talking about where food comes from.
247
Like which country?
248
Yes, or which region?
249
Which city?
250
People love to talk about the origin of food.
251
Origin means where something comes from.
252
Like pho comes from Vietnam.
253
Sushi comes from Japan.
254
Exactly.
255
And in English, you use simple phrases.
256
This dish is from.
257
A dish, by the way,
258
is one type of food.
259
One item on the menu.
260
A dish.
261
Not just plate.
262
The food itself.
263
Right.
264
Pho is a dish from Vietnam.
265
Or, this is a traditional Vietnamese dish.
266
Traditional means it has been made the same way for a long time, many generations.
267
Traditional.
268
Like a recipe from your grandmother.
269
Yes, exactly like that.
270
And you can also say,
271
this is a popular dish in,
272
for example, banh mi is a popular dish in Vietnam.
273
Popular means many people like it and eat it.
274
Correct.
275
And one more phrase.
276
This reminds me of home.
277
When you eat food from your country and it gives you that warm, familiar feeling.
278
Reminds me of home.
279
That is an emotional phrase.
280
Food is emotional.
281
Food carries memories.
282
Yes.
283
When I eat my mother's cooking,
284
I feel like a child again.
285
That is beautiful, Lisa, and very natural English.
286
This reminds me of home is a phrase every food lover should know.
287
You can also share a memory with food.
288
For example, every time I eat this,
289
I think of my grandmother.
290
Or, this is the food my family always makes at New Year.
291
Oh, yes.
292
In my family, we always make bonchan et tete every year.
293
My grandmother, my mother, me.
294
We make it together.
295
Ban chong.
296
Tell us about it.
297
It is a traditional Vietnamese dish.
298
Rice and pork and beans,
299
all wrapped in banana leaves.
300
It takes a long time to make.
301
We cook it overnight.
302
So when you eat ban chong,
303
you think of your family,
304
your grandmother, your tet memories.
305
Yes.
306
Every single time.
307
That is the power of food.
308
And in English, you can share this.
309
Every time I eat this,
310
I think of, this phrase connects food and memory beautifully.
311
Okay, now let's make it practical.
312
You are at a restaurant or talking to a friend.
313
How do you recommend a food you love?
314
Recommend means suggest, right?
315
Tell someone to try it?
316
Yes.
317
Recommend means you say, this is good, you should try it.
318
So how do you do this in English?
319
Um, you should try this?
320
Yes, you should try is a great phrase.
321
Very natural.
322
Or, I highly recommend.
323
Highly means very strongly.
324
You are saying, I really believe this is good.
325
I highly recommend the faux here.
326
It is amazing.
327
Perfect.
328
And at a restaurant, when the waiter asks,
329
are you ready to order?
330
You can say, can I have the,
331
and then the dish name.
332
Can I have the grilled fish, please?
333
Very good.
334
Very polite.
335
And if you want to ask about the food first,
336
you say, what do you recommend?
337
Or what is this dish like?
338
What is this dish like?
339
I like that.
340
I'm asking about the taste and texture.
341
Exactly.
342
And the waiter or your friend will describe it for you,
343
using all the words we learned today.
344
So I can ask and understand the answer now.
345
That is the goal.
346
You can ask, describe, recommend, and respond.
347
A full food conversation.
348
Okay, everyone, let's practice putting everything together.
349
Lisa, I will ask you about a food.
350
You describe it using our new words.
351
Ready?
352
Ready.
353
Tell me about your favorite food.
354
Okay.
355
My favorite food is pho.
356
It is a traditional Vietnamese dish.
357
The broth is rich and comforting.
358
The noodles are soft, and you can add fresh herbs on top,
359
so it has a light, fresh flavor too.
360
I really love it on cold days.
361
It reminds me of home.
362
That was excellent.
363
Did everyone hear that?
364
Rich broth.
365
Comforting.
366
Soft noodles.
367
Light and fresh.
368
Reminds me of home.
369
She used five describing words and two phrases.
370
In four sentences.
371
Did I do well?
372
You did wonderfully.
373
Now everyone, your turn.
374
Think of your favorite food.
375
Describe it in three or four sentences.
376

383
I love, I really like,
384
I enjoy, and for something we don't love,
385
I'm not a big fan of.
386
Good.
387

389
and also rich, light, and...

402
Can I have the...
403
Perfect.
404
You remembered everything.
405

That is the best way to learn.
407
Connect the language to something you love.

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?
इस वीडियो का उपयोग करके बोलने का अभ्यास करने से आप अपनी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमता को न केवल सुधार सकते हैं, बल्कि खाना खाने से जुड़े विभिन्न वार्तालापों में भी तेजी से समझ बढ़ा सकते हैं। इस एपिसोड में, अलेक्स और लीसा अपने पसंदीदा खाने के बारे में बात करते हैं, जिसमें कई तरह के शब्दावली और वाक्य संरचनाएँ शामिल हैं। यह न केवल बातचीत को आकर्षक बनाता है, बल्कि आपकी शब्दावली में भी वृद्धि करता है। यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें, और इस प्रकार की बातचीत से अपने संवाद कौशल को बेहतर बनाएं।
व्याकरण और संदर्भ में अभिव्यक्तियाँ
- “What did you eat?” - इस प्रश्न का इस्तेमाल किसी द्वारा खाए गए खाने के बारे में पूछने के लिए किया जाता है। इसे बोलते समय सही उच्चारण पर ध्यान देना महत्वपूर्ण है।
- “I made a big bowl of pasta” - यहां 'made' का प्रयोग अतीत में क्रिया को दर्शाने के लिए किया गया है। यह स्पष्टीकरण देता है कि आपने खाना खुद बनाया है।
- “That is all” - यह एक संक्षिप्त उत्तर है जो यह बताता है कि आपके पास और कुछ नहीं है। यह बातचीत को सरल बनाता है।
इन वाक्य संरचनाओं का अभ्यास करके, आप अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास कर सकते हैं और अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार कर सकते हैं।
सामान्य उच्चारण जाल
इस वार्तालाप में कुछ शब्दों का उच्चारण चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकता है, जैसे कि “pasta” और “basil”। सही उच्चारण के साथ बोलना सीखना, एक अंग्रेजी बोलने वाले के लिए आवश्यक है। यह सुनिश्चित करें कि आप 'pasta' को 'पास्टा' के रूप में उच्चारित करें, और 'basil' को 'बेज़िल' कहें। ऐसे शब्द अक्सर विद्यार्थियों के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण होते हैं, लेकिन अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने से आप इनमें सुधार कर सकते हैं।
इस वीडियो को देखकर सीखें और इसे अपने दोस्तों के साथ साझा करें, ताकि वे भी अपनी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमताओं को बढ़ा सकें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
