Creazione lezione...
1
Hello, how did you find your meal?
2
Find?
3
It was right here on the table.
4
I mean, how did you like your meal?
5
Was it good?
6
Oh, it was great.
7
Great.
8
Hi everyone!
9
Welcome to my YouTube channel.
10
In this video, I'm going to show you how to avoid "common mistakes when speaking English at the restaurant." Excuse me,
11
can I see the plates?
12
The plates?
13
Yeah, you can see them.
14
No, I mean the plates, the food.
15
Oh, the dishes.
16
A plate is a specific dish you eat from, while a dish can refer to the object, the plate, or to the food itself.
17
Oh, thanks!
18
Can I see the dishes?
19
Of course, they're on the menu!
20
Ah.
21
"Hmmm.. bring me some salad." You're being rude!
22
In English, it's not polite to use a verb in its imperative form, such as "give me" or "bring me" when ordering food.
23
Is that polite in your language?
24
In English, it's not.
25
Instead, you should say, "Could you bring me some pasta?" or "I'd like some pasta" or "I'll have some pasta,
26
please." Oh, sorry, sorry.
27
I'll have some salad and give me.. no, no, I mean...
28
I'll also have a glass of orange juice, please.
29
Just a glass or a pitcher?
30
Pitcher?
31
This is a glass and this is a pitcher.
32
A glass is a container made of glass.
33
A cup is any container made to hold liquid, often made of ceramic or plastic.
34
However, a pitcher is a tall container with a handle and spout used to four liquids.
35
Oh, just a glass, please.
36
And can I have pasta as the principal?
37
Are you talking about school or something?
38
No, I'd like pasta as the principal meal.
39
The principal is the director of a school.
40
If you're talking about the most important part of a meal, you need to say main dish.
41
And before the main dish, there is the starter or appetizer.
42
And after the main dish, we serve dessert.
43
So the order is starter, main dish and dessert.
44
starter, main dish and dessert.
45
Okay, I really need to improve my English for these real situations.
46
Real life situations, like English at the restaurant, fast food chain, work, clothing stores.
47
Yeah, real life situations, real English.
48
Not English from books.
49

69
Here's your salad and your juice.
70
Thank you.
71
Could you bring me a sauce for the salad?
72
Sauce?
73
Tomato sauce?
74
No, I mean the oil and vinegar.
75
Oh, salad dressing.
76
Sauces are typically added during cooking and are usually used for pasta, meats, and dishes.
77
Condiments such as ketchup, mustard,
78
mayonnaise, and relish are usually added to the food when it's already at the table.
79
Wild dressings are mainly used on salads, and is made with ingredients such as oil,
80
vinegar, fruit juice, herbs, cream, and yogurt.
81
So if I order a salad, I can ask for dressing.
82
If I order pasta, I can ask for sauce.
83
And if I order a burger, I can ask for condiments.
84
That's perfect.
85
Now I'm drizzling some oil onto the salad.
86
And now I'm sprinkling some salt on it.
87
Bye.
88
- Yeah.
89
Thank you.
90
Here's your pasta.
91
Now she's serving herself some pasta using tongs.
92
Tongues.
93
Sorry, could you change this pasta to another thing?
94
Do you mean send it back to exchange the pasta for another dish?
95
Exchange?
96
Why not change?
97
Exchange is used when you give something and get something else in return.
98
group of fork, knife and spoon.
99
A set of cutlery.
100
A set of cutlery, please.
101
When talking about cutlery, you can say silverware if it's made of metal
102
or use cutlery or flatware for both metal and plastic utensils.
103
Oh nice, now I think you should go because there are other clients waiting to be served.
104
- Yeah.
105
We don't say clients when talking about restaurants, we say customers for people who are buying something.
106
There are other customers waiting to be served.
107
Only say clients when talking about a person or a business that receives professional services or advice.
108
For example, if you use the services of a lawyer, tutor, healthcare provider or designer, you would be a client of those professionals.
109
Customers!
110
And you're right, I gotta go.

Contesto e Background
Nel video intitolato "Errori in inglese al ristorante," l'oratore discute situazioni comuni che si possono incontrare mentre si mangia fuori. Attraverso dialoghi realistici, si evidenziano errori comuni che i non madrelingua possono fare, non solo nella pronuncia ma anche nelle espressioni utilizzate per comunicare. L’obiettivo è fornire consigli pratici per evitare malintesi e migliorare la propria competenza linguistica nel contesto di un ristorante.
Le 5 Frasi Chiave per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- Could you bring me some pasta? - Una richiesta cortese, suggerita per ordinare il cibo.
- I’d like some salad, please. - Un modo educato per esprimere il proprio desiderio per un antipasto.
- Can I see the menu? - Utilizzata per chiedere di vedere le opzioni disponibili.
- What are today’s specials? - Chiedere riguardo ai piatti del giorno per esplorare le scelte disponibili.
- I’ll have a glass of orange juice, please. - Un modo per ordinare una bevanda in modo educato.
Guida Passo-Passo allo Shadowing
Per affrontare le difficoltà presentate in questo video, seguirai la tecnica del shadowspeak per migliorare la tua pronuncia e fluidità. Ecco una guida passo-passo:
- Guarda il video attentamente: Prima di tutto, guarda il video ascoltando attentamente le frasi pronunciate.
- Ripeti dopo l'oratore: Utilizza il shadow speech per ripetere frasi chiave immediatamente dopo che l'oratore le pronuncia. Questa tecnica ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua pronuncia e velocità.
- Pratica le frasi isolate: Concentrati su ciascuna delle cinque frasi chiave. Ripetile ad alta voce più volte, cercando di imitare l’intonazione e il ritmo dell'oratore.
- Integra in conversazioni reali: Prova a utilizzare queste frasi in situazioni di vita reale, come quando mangi al ristorante o fai la spesa.
- Rivedi e migliora: Registra le tue pratiche di shadowspeaks e confrontale con l'originale, per identificare aree di miglioramento.
Praticare con queste tecniche ti permetterà di affrontare situazioni al ristorante con sicurezza e competenza, migliorando la tua abilità nel comunicare in inglese in modo efficace.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are usually added · is made · be served |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should say · should go |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | You're being · you're talking · am taking |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | I'll have · I'll also have · you'll be |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
