Hi everyone, I'm back with another video for you to practice your English speaking skills with me,
2
you and me.
3
If you don't know me, I'm Kirsty, your British English teacher.
4
And today I have prepared a dialogue between two friends at a restaurant.
5
This is how my speaking videos work.
6
First, you'll listen to a full conversation.
7
Then I will explain the useful expressions and vocabulary from the dialogue.
8
After that, we will practice together.
9
I will say one line from the dialogue, and then you will read the next line as it appears on the screen.
10
This way you get real-life English speaking practice with me and you get to learn new everyday vocabulary at the same time.
11
Are you ready?
12
Hey, it's so good to see you!
13
You too!
14
This place looks nice.
15
Have you been here before?
16
Yeah, once.
17
The food was really good.
18
Great, let's have a look at the menu.
19
I can't decide between the pasta and the grilled chicken.
20
Both sound good but I think I'm going to try the burger.
21
Classic choice.
22
Do you want to share some starters?
23
Yeah, good idea.
24
How about the garlic bread?
25
Perfect.
26
If we both eat it.
27
How about a salad too?
28
Sounds good.
29
What about drinks?
30
I'll have a sparkling water.
31
I think I'll go for a glass of Chardonnay.
32
Alright, so garlic bread and salad to start, then pasta for me and a burger for you.
33
We'll see if we have any room left for dessert at the end.
34
Exactly.
35
I'm starving.
36
Me too.
37
Oh look, here comes the waiter.
38
Ready to order?
39
Yep, absolutely.
40
Let's break down some useful phrases from the dialogue.
41
This place looks nice.
42
Have you been here before?
43
Have you been here before?
44
is a natural way to ask if someone already knows a restaurant, a bar or a cafe.
45
Have you been here before?
46
Classic choice.
47
Do you want to share some starters?
48
Classic choice is a friendly way to say someone has chosen something popular.
49
Exactly.
50
I'm starving.
51
I'm starving is an informal way to say I'm very hungry.
52
It's an exaggeration.
53
Oh look, here comes the waiter.
54
Ready to order?
55
Ready to order?
56
Is what a waiter usually asks
57
or what you can ask the person you are eating with
58
just to make sure you are ready to get the waiter's attention.
59
These are exactly the phrases that native speakers use when eating out
60
so you can use them with confidence
61
if you really want these new words to stick in your
62
mind make sure to download the free mind map i made for you the link is below in the description
63
and in the comments now it's your turn i will play olivia
64
and you can play cameron i will say my line
65
and then i will pause so
66
that you can answer you're going to answer with the text that pops up on the screen.
67
Okay?
68
Are you ready?
69
Hey, it's so good to see you.
70
Yeah, once.
71
The food was really good.
72
I can't decide between the pasta and the grilled chicken.
73
choice.
74
Do you want to share some starters?
75
Perfect, if we both eat it.
76
How about a salad too?
77
I'll have a sparkling water.
78
Alright, so garlic bread and salad to start, then pasta for me and a burger for you.
79
see if we have any room left for dessert at the end.
80
Me too.
81
Oh look, here comes the waiter.
82
Ready to order?
83
Well done.
84
If you want extra practice, do the conversation again without reading the dialogue so
85
that you have to make up your own answers or so
86
that you have to remember the answers that come up on the screen.
87
Much more difficult.
88
Are you ready?
89
Hey it's so good to see you!

Yeah once, the food was really good.
91
I can't decide between the pasta and the grilled chicken.

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.
