Creazione lezione...

Hey everybody, it's Ariadna de la Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.
2
In today's video, I'm going to teach all of you how to order pizza in English.
3
Yes, we are at the world's largest pizza chain, Domino's.
4
Let's go inside and see how to order pizza in English.
5
Today, we're going to be tackling one of the world's favorite foods, pizza.
6
So I'm going to teach all of you different words
7
and phrases and vocabulary you need to know to speak confidently when ordering pizza.
8
Like if you want to order a slice in the store, if you want to order takeout like a big pie,
9
as well as ordering something for delivery where it will be delivered to your door.
10
But before ordering pizza, let's talk about why pizza is so irresistible.
11
Pizza is this fantastic dish that is round, but sometimes it can be square.
12
Also, it's built on this flatbread base called the crust or the dough.
13
Then it's slathered with this tangy tomato sauce and on top of it is melted mozzarella cheese.
14
And then finally, the best part is the toppings.
15
Pizza places can be different.
16
So in some places, you can order a single piece called a slice
17
or you can order the whole pizza
18
which is called a pie you can even call them for delivery
19
so in this video i will break it down step by step on how to order pizza
20
so you can feel confident in ordering pizza anywhere okay
21
so since we're in domino's let's imagine we're ordering a whole pizza whether it's for delivery
22
or at the counter what do you need to decide.
23
Well, if you don't want it to get too complicated, you can just order one of their specialty pizzas on the menu.
24
So you can order the deluxe pizza, a margarita, the pepperoni, Hawaiian,
25
barbecue chicken, and the veggie pizza.
26
These pizzas are very common here in America, So you'll probably find them in every menu and every pizzeria in the U.S.
27
And to be honest with you guys, I really like the barbecue chicken pizza.
28
But if you want something different, maybe you have a topping you love, or maybe there's an ingredient that you don't want to put on your pizza,
29
or if you just want to mix everything all together, then you can build your own pizza.
30
And that's where the fun really starts.
31
First, you'll start by selecting your crust.
32
And there are many options.
33
You can get a handmade pan.
34
You can get it hand tossed, a thin crust, a New York style, and a gluten-free pizza.
35
Then you select the size.
36
So the small is 10 inches, the medium is 12 inches, the large is 14 inches,
37
and there's even an extra large which is huge and it's 16 inches.
38
Sometimes if I don't know how big
39
or how wide the pizza is I'll ask the people working
40
here is this pizza good for one to two people like the small
41
or if I want the extra large I'll be like how much will this feed?
42
Next you pick the sauce.
43
The most common sauce to order on pizza is tomato sauce or just pizza sauce.
44
But if you're a little bit weird like me, you can order a sauce like a barbecue sauce,
45
garlic parmesan sauce, you can order alfredo sauce, and even ranch.
46
Yes, a salad dressing can go on top of pizza.
47
Next is the cheese.
48
You can ask for light cheese, extra cheese, or even no cheese.
49
Yes, you can just skip the pizza without adding cheese on top, but I don't know of a single person who has eaten pizza without cheese.
50
Next up, my favorite part, toppings.
51
Toppings are all of the extra ingredients you put on top of the sauce
52
and the cheese before putting the pizza in the oven.
53
There are many toppings you can choose from.
54
Pizza toppings come in two main categories, meats and vegetables.
55
Some popular meat toppings include pepperoni,
56
Italian sausage, bacon, chicken, beef, and ham.
57
For vegetables and other toppings, you'll commonly find jalapenos, black olives,
58
onions, spinach, mushrooms, pineapple, anchovies, and green bell peppers.
59
As you can see, there are many ways to order pizza, whether it's by the slice, in the restaurant, or for delivery.
60
But sometimes with loud background noises or even fast native speakers, it can be quite tricky to order pizza in English.
61
So that's why I want to introduce you to today's video sponsor, FluentU, which will help you with real-world listening practice.
62
FluentU is this really cool app that's designed to help you learn new languages from authentic video clips from movie trailers,
63
news clips, or even YouTube videos.
64
They have a Chrome extension where you can install it and then when you're watching Netflix or YouTube videos that have subtitles,
65
FluentU turns them into interactive lessons.
66
Imagine you're watching a scene where someone orders food, maybe pizza.
67
If you hear a word you don't know like takeout, delivery, or crust, then you can just hover over the word in the subtitles.
68
FluentU instantly gives you the definition, an image to help you remember it,
69
example sentences, and even shows you other videos where that exact word is used.
70
So if you find yourself struggling with listening comprehension or if you want to learn more vocabulary from in-person situations,
71
FluentU is a great app to check out.
72
I'll put the link in the description if you want to try out FluentU or just learn more about it.
73
Thank you FluentU for sponsoring this portion of the video.

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.
