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.

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.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
