1
“I'm not sure how to order naturally in Japanese restaurants.” “The staff speak too fast…” “…or way too formally.” This lesson is for people like you.
2
From entering the restaurant to ordering food, we’ll practice how to speak naturally with the staff.
3
Hi everyone!
4
I’m Kana, your Japanese tutor.
5
In this lesson, I’ll introduce useful phrases for customers, and common expressions used by restaurant staff.
6
It’s perfect for people living in Japan or traveling here.
7
This lesson has 3 steps.
8
Step 1: Listen to a sample conversation.
9
Step 2: Review the phrases together.
10
Step 3: Practice with shadowing and role play.
11
Ready? Okay, let’s start with step 1.
12
How much can you understand in this dialogue?
13
Let’s listen.
14
Welcome! When the staff greets you with “Irasshaimase,” just like when you nod, slightly bow your head.
15
You don’t need to bow deeply.
16
Just like this.
17
How many in your party?
18
Two people.
19
“Mei” is a polite way to count people: one, two, three.
20
It’s formal Japanese.
21
Staff make it even more polite by saying “-mei sama.” Adding “sama.” But when you say it yourself, don’t add “sama.” Just say, “2(ni) mei.” “3(san) mei.” Two people.
22
Two people, got it.
23
“Oseki go-annai shimasu.” Here, “seki” means table.
24
And “annai suru” means the staff will guide you to your table.
25
When the staff says “goannai shimasu”, you just follow the staff.
26
I'll take you to your table.
27
Okay. Please take any seat you like.
28
Okay. “Osuki na oseki e doozo.” This is another common phrase.
29
It means, “Please sit anywhere you like.” Any free table is fine.
30
Another phrase you’ll hear is… “Aite iru oseki e doozo.” This means “empty” "There is no one" So, “Any empty table is okay.” That’s what it means.
31
Please take any seat you like.
32
Okay. Here’s the menu.
33
Thank you. I’ll bring you some water in a moment.
34
Ah, thank you.
35
“Ohiya” is a polite way to say cold water.
36
Staff often use this word with customers.
37
As a customer, you can say “mizu” or “ohiya.” Both are fine.
38
In restaurants in Japan, this water is usually free.
39
The staff will bring it to your table.
40
Or they might say, “Water is self-service.” In that case, go to the water station yourself, fill a glass, and bring it back to your table.
41
I’ll bring you some water in a moment.
42
Ah, thank you.
43
Here is your water.
44
Ah, thank you.
45
Please call me when you’re ready to order.
46
Okay. "Gochuumon okimarini narimashitara oyobikudasai" (Please call me when you are ready to order.) Here’s another common phrase.
47
“When you’re ready to order, please call me.” It means: “Say ‘sumimasen’ to call me.” Please call me when you’re ready to order.
48
Okay. Excuse me!
49
Yes? Can I order?
50
Yes, I’ll take your order.
51
“O-ukagai shimasu” is a polite way to say “I’ll ask.” When you’re ready to order, just say “Sumimasen,” and the staff will come.
52
Then you can say, “Chuumon ii desu ka?” meaning “Can I order?” It's nice and polite.
53
Excuse me, can I order?
54
If the staff asks, “Gochuumon okimari desu ka?” You can just say, “Yes, please.” That means, "Have you decided?" Excuse me?
55
Yes? Can I order?
56
Yes, I'll take your order.
57
One miso ramen and...
58
also one shoyu ramen.
59
Also, one order of gyoza, please.
60
one order of gyoza, please.
61
When ordering, say the food or drink name, plus the number: “one,” “two,” “three.” And finish with “onegaishimasu” to be polite.
62
If the name is too hard to say, just point at the menu.
63
This one, please.
64
Also, one order of gyoza, please.
65
Okay. Would you like something to drink?
66
“Ikaga deshou ka.” This is the same as “Ikaga desu ka?” or “Dou desu ka?”(How about~?) It’s more polite, so staff often use it.
67
Here it means, “Would you like/need something to drink?” “Would you like something to drink?” Okay, then one draft beer, please.
68
Certainly. “Okay, then one draft beer, please.” The staff asked about drinks, so "What am I gonna drink?" you think a little.
69
In Japanese, we often say “Jaa” while you are thinking.
70
If you don’t want a drink, you can say, “ya, omizude daijyoobu desu(No, just water is fine.)” Or, “omizu de ii desu.” Or, “ya, daijyoobudesu(I’m okay.)” That works too.
71
Okay. Would you like something to drink?
72
“Okay, then one draft beer, please.” Certainly.
73
Will that be all for your order?
74
Yes, that’s all.
75
“Gochoomon wa ijyoo de yoroshii desuka?" (Is that all?) That’s what it means.
76
You can just say, “Hai ijyoode”(Yes, that's all.) Will that be all for your order?
77
Yes, that's all.
78
Okay. Let me confirm your order.
79
One shoyu ramen.
80
One miso ramen.
81
One order of gyoza.
82
And one draft beer for your drink.
83
Is everything correct?
84
Yes, that’s right.
85
“Ijou de omachigai nai deshoo ka?” means "There's no mistake?" “Is this order correct?” If it’s right, just say “hai”(Yes) or “Hai, daijyoobudesu”(Yes, there's no problem.) Both are okay.
86
Is everything correct?
87
Yes, that’s right.
88
Okay. Thank you.
89
Let's review key phrases that you can use when you order.
90
Excuse me, can I order?
91
One order of gyoza, please.
92
This one, please.
93
That's all.
94
How was it?
95
How was it?
96
We practiced everything from entering a restaurant to placing an order.
97
Do you think you can go to restaurants with a little bit of more confidence?
98
Check the description for more practice.
99
Have a nice day!

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 20 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'll, you're, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, shoyu /ˈʃoʊjuː/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, greet /ɡɹiːt/, gyoza /ˈɡjɒzə/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als polite, phrase, lesson.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
