Don't say, I would like to order.

You can say, I'll do.

I'll do the chicken masala.

So yes, you can say this.

This is correct.

There are native speakers who say, I'll do blah, blah, blah.

I'll just have blah, blah, blah.

But I personally recommend turning it into a question.

If you ask a question in English, it sounds more polite, more respectful.

I always say, can I have or could I have?

Can I get?

Could I get?

There are variations, but the point is we're asking a question.

It sounds much better than just saying what you want, what you'll have.

Even people in the South will say like, may I have?

That's like next level.

I don't really do that.

I'm from the North.

But the point is they're asking a question.

It sounds more polite.

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。
