1
Hi there!
2
I'm here to take my order.
3
Sure!
4
Oh, what's this?
5
You can take your order.
6
No, no, no, no, no!
7
I mean I already ordered.
8
I just need to take it if it's ready.
9
Oh, then say I'm here to pick up my order.
10
Pick up, not take.
11
Yes.
12
Yes.
13
In English, there is a fixed expression, take an order, which means to write down or type what the customer wants to order.
14
Usually, it's the employee or the attendant who takes your order.
15
That's why when you come to grab the food you already ordered, we say pick up, not take.
16
Hi, everyone, and welcome to my YouTube channel.
17
Today I came to a fast food restaurant here in Texas just to teach you English in a creative way.
18
These are some of the phrases you learn in this video.
19
Hi, can I have a glass of Coke?
20
Sorry, we don't have that.
21
What?
22
How can you not have it?
23
This is classic.
24
No, it's not.
25
We don't use glasses in fast food restaurants.
26
Huh?
27
So how will I drink?
28
Wait, we only have cups.
29
In fast food restaurants, they typically serve drinks in cups.
30
So you just say, can I have a small Coke?
31
Can I have a medium Coke?
32
Can I have a large Coke instead?
33
Glasses are usually made of glass, while cups are usually made of plastic, paper or foam.
34
At a sit-down restaurant, like a normal restaurant, it's totally okay to order a glass of coke, a glass of water.
35
But at a fast food restaurant, they're commonly served in a disposable cup.
36
Hi, can I have a sandwich?
37
A sandwich?
38
Huh?
39
Um, like this?
40
No, no, no, no, no. I mean, um, a sandwich with meat.
41
Oh, a burger?
42
A burger.
43
Yes, technically a burger is a type of sandwich, but in general, if you order a sandwich,
44
this is what most people will think of a sandwich is made by putting ingredients between any kind of bread
45
but if you order a burger this is what people will give you a burger is specifically made with buns
46
and a patty it always has a patty this is a patty.
47
Oh, sorry, can I get a package of salt?
48
This is not a supermarket.
49
Huh?
50
Oh, do you mean a packet of salt?
51
A package of salt is usually those big containers they sell in supermarkets.
52
So basically we can say that this container is called a packet.
53
Oh, a salt packet, okay.
54
We can say a mayo packet, a pepper packet, or a ketchup packet.
55
These are called salt packets because they're smaller and for single use.
56
Sorry to bother you again.
57
My burger is falling.
58
Are you lying?
59
I can't see anything on the floor.
60
But look, it's falling here.
61
Oh, it's falling apart.
62
If you say just falling, it means that something is falling to the floor.
63
For example, the pen fell on the floor.
64
Thank you so much.
65
No worries, let me bring you another one.
66
And let me get you some napkins so you can wipe your hands.
67
Excuse me again, this ketchup doesn't open.
68
Yes, it does.
69
Hey, no, it doesn't open.
70
Look.
71
Oh, it won't open.
72
Oh, there's no way I'll remember all these things.
73
There are many things I still get confused.
74
I understand you.
75
I used to have trouble memorizing words, grammar rules, natural phrases in English and in other areas too.
76
I used to write things on a piece of paper
77
and put it in my pocket to remember every once in a while.
78
But that's too much work.
79
Exactly, it didn't really work.
80
That's why I started researching easier ways to do that, like slides for memorization.
81
As an English teacher, I always need to make slides for students.
82
Kimmy helps me solve that problem.
83
In English, if you say that something doesn't open, it means that it generally doesn't open.
84
Like if it was made not to open.
85
For example, this window doesn't open.
86
it was built not to open.
87
You can say this store doesn't open on Sundays, meaning that it usually doesn't open.
88
Like it's not meant to open on Sundays.
89
However, when you want to say that you tried opening something, but it didn't budge, you'd say something won't open.
90
For example, I tried opening this ketchup, but it just won't open.
91
So when the issue is temporary, we say something won't do something.
92
Another useful example is my phone won't turn on.
93
Oh, so this ketchup won't open.
94
The slides are very well created and organized.
95
Did you make them yourself?
96
No, actually I don't have much time so I ended up using Kimi AI.
97
Just click the slide then choose visual mode.
98
I typed create slides teaching the difference between it doesn't open and it won't open.
99
After that you describe the visual style you want or upload a reference photo.
100
It's even editable and can be exported in various forms.
101
PDF, HTML, all the information generated by Kimmy, dropped on data from Google Scholar.
102
You can create any slide you think of in Kimmy.
103
I have attached the link in the description.
104
Wow.
105
Yeah, and I read every night before going to bed to improve my vocabulary.
106
Oh, but when I read, I have problems to understand every word.
107
I used to have the same problem.
108
Now I upload the book to Agent Swarm and Kimmy creates everything I need to learn the vocabulary.
109
It generates a vocabulary list, a word frequency visualization, and even vocabulary quizzes to help me remember the new words.
110
Look at this vocabulary list Kimmy created for me.
111
It's C-E-F-R graded, which means every word is labeled according to its English level,
112
like A1, B1, B2.
113
That's so useful.
114
Yeah, the vocabulary frequency visualization is a chart that shows which words appear most often in a book.
115
And when I finish reading, Kimmy generates a quiz to test what I've learned.
116
Click the link in the description and start using Kimmy today.
117
Have you finished?
118
Yes, I have.
119
You can clean the table.
120
Clean?
121
Okay.
122
No, no, no, not clean.
123
I mean, clean the trash from the table.
124
No, not clean.
125
Remove the things.
126
Remove the trash.
127
You mean clear the table?
128
Huh?
129
Clear or clean?
130
Isn't that the same thing?
131
Oh my gosh.
132
No, they're different.
133
Clear means to remove items from a place.
134
While clean means to remove dirt.
135
Oh, interesting.
136
Here you are.
137
Have a good one.
138
One?
139
Have a good one?
140
Yes, to have a good one means to have a good day or more generally, I hope things go well for you.
141
It's a very common and casual way to say goodbye in American English.
142
Oh, so how can I reply when someone says have a good one?
143
You can say thanks, you too, or simply you too.
144
Hi, can I have a double meat whataburger and a large coke and one fry?
145
Do you want the meal?
146

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.
