That meets expectations.

Tastes like raw chicken.

Like, everyone knows that'll be better.
76
If they don't, they shouldn't eat it.
77
This is really good.
78
Chick-fil-A, I recommend putting sauce on your burgers first.
79
It's just chicken and...
80
Just on the whole packet.
81
So good.
82
See, it's better with sauce, man.
83
I mean, to be fair, it's their sauce.

Mmm.

Don't even need sauce with this.

No, it definitely doesn't sauce.

Is it a Chick-fil-A or a Chick-fil-B?

C. You were so positive about the chicken being juicy.
101
It's really good, but Popeyes is better.
102
I've had better chips.
103
It's really nice.
104
I would add more pickles and just soak it.
105
It's like dripping.
106
Dripping in sauce.
107
Or like a fondue.
108
Yeah.

Maybe what you want is a bit of spice in your sandwich, huh?
133
Oooh.
134
I love spice.
135
I love spice.
136
Oh yeah.
137
You can smell the spice.
138
That's when you know it's good.
139
Oi.
140
That looks ten times better.
141
It's so much more red.
142
You can tell they're spicy,
143
but again there's no sauce.
144
The spice.
145
That is spicy.
146
Sublime.
147
Way better than the first one.
148
Because the spice, it just adds more flavor more passionate about the burger.
149
It tastes different, but there's not much spice to it.
150
I love spice, and this is like kind of a let down for me.
151
After that it starts to kick in,
152
I think this one's better.
153
Oh, you like the classic more?
154
Still so good for it.
155
Simple, but they've done the simple things good.
156
I love the simplicity, and you rely on the sauces.
157
And the chicken's like thick, isn't it?
158
It's proper chicken.
159
Chick-fil-B.
160
I'll say A if this is a meat.
161
OK.
162
Filet.
163
Anything that's not that good,
164
but you add spice to it, it's nice.
165
But it has to be like respectable,
166
so you can't just like spice to ice cream and stuff like that.
167
Yeah, you gotta be respectful.
168
Ice cream cuts out as well,
169
so there's no point in doing that.
170
It's like walking up the escalator the wrong way.
171
Indeed.
172
I think it's alright.
173
Maybe your expectations were too high.
174
Maybe.
175
There's two-hour queues and a lot of hype going on for this.
176
In fairness, we queued for like 24 hours to see the dead body of the queen.
177
Queen and Chick-fil-A is two different things.
178
True.
179
Maybe you want something to wash it down.
180
This is the most refreshing drink that you can get at a fast food chain.
181
Ice tea.
182
Oh!
183
It's like tea.
184
It tastes like tea.
185
Tea is disgusting.
186
I don't know how people drink it.
187
It's really sweet.
188
It doesn't taste anything, is it?
189
It's sweetened.
190
Not sweet enough.
191
You want it sweeter?
192
Mmm.
193
I don't like ice tea or tea.
194
It's very refreshing.
195
It kind of just tastes like water,
196
so I'd rather have water.
197
I obviously get the taste of tea,
198
but it's just strange drinking cold tea.
199
Do you want that heated up with a bit of milk added?
200
Not to want that heated up.
201
No. Nothing special.
202
We've got another drink for you.
203
Saw that you weren't a biggest fan,
204
so added a little bit of lemonade to it.
205
Oh, that's so much better.
206
This is sour.
207
It tastes like a tropical drink, but with leaves.
208
That one's 10 times better.
209
That's sweet and sour at the same time.
210
That's better.
211
There's more like flavor.
212
They call this a sun joy.
213
I'm feeling the joy.
214
Yeah.
215
I feel the joy seeping into my lungs.
216
Wherever my drink goes.
217
There's no bits not in your lungs.
218
That's actually so nice.
219
I think this enables you to keep gluten.
220
Your mouth's a bit dry,
221
you have one of those,
222
and then you're ready to go again.
223
I am ready to go, yeah.
224
Wow.
225
Maybe my favourite item at Chick-fil-A.
226
Ooh, these are so nice.
227
See, real chicken, at McDonald's you get like...
228
Get like a boot-shaped bit of...
229
Garbage.
230
It's not meat.
231
Garbage!
232
Mmm.
233
Mmm.
234
Nice standard chicken.
235
Good nuggets.
236
Oh my goodness, those nuggets.
237
It sort of just tastes like a chicken sandwich,
238
but in like a mini bowl,
239
so it's like really nice.
240
Oh yeah, this is so nice.
241
So much better.
242
Chick-fil-S.
243
Chick-fil-S tier.
244
Chick-fil-s.
245
Chick-fil-s.
246
This is a great side.
247
I'll get rid of the chips and just have burgers and nuggets.
248
These, best nuggets I've ever had.
249
Wow.
250
Man blue.
251
Is this your favourite item yet?
252
Good old Chick-fil-A nugs.
253
Why do I hate that expression?
254
I think you need a nug.
255
I think you need to calm down with some nugs.
256
That was a damn good nug.
257
What do you think of calling nuggets nugs?
258
It really offends me, actually.
259
I hate the shortening of words.
260
I think it's people trying to be caught.
261
If you went up to the counter and you said,
262
I'd have a portion of nugs, I wouldn't serve you.
263
Can you imagine?
264
He's standing at a counter and he's like,
265
I'm not going to serve you.
266
And he's like, sorry, sir, you don't work here.
267
No, no, no, no. We have a little dessert for you.
268
Ah, I just love a milkshake.
269
So it's an Oreo.
270
I heard the cherries in it.
271
Oh my.
272
This is class.
273
Oh my class.
274
Best thing here.
275
Best thing.
276
This is really good.
277
I think Duke Play might actually have my favorite milkshake.
278
It's probably healthy as well.
279
I'm losing weight.
280
So thick.
281
Can't get it.
282
Oh yeah, that is so nice.
283
It's kind of break the layer of the top of ice cream,
284
then you get to it.
285
No words, really.
286
It's ten out of ten.
287
I'm overwhelmed.
288
You both look like you've had a religious experience.
289
We've reached new honor.
290
This is arguably one of the best things you've given me.
291
If you were to give this a grade.
292
This is A star.
293
Chips pill, A star.
294
This is really, really nice.
295
I got a few A stars.
296
You got A stars?
297
Brutal.
298
I thought you were the last one.
299
He didn't even miss a beat.

Why practice speaking with this video?
If you're looking to learn English with YouTube, watching videos like "British Highschoolers try Chick-fil-A for the first time!" offers a fun and engaging context for English speaking practice. The conversational tone and relatable experiences shared by the participants make it an ideal resource for learners. The video allows you to hear natural dialogue, which can significantly enhance your listening skills and pronunciation. Additionally, practicing speaking by mimicking their intonation and phrasing can help increase your fluency and confidence in conversational settings.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
This video is packed with everyday English expressions and grammar structures that can enhance your speaking abilities. Here are three key examples:
- “I’ve never had Chick-fil-A in my life.” – This structure uses the present perfect tense, emphasizing the speaker's experience up until now. It's a useful expression to talk about experiences or lack thereof.
- “Will it be a Chick-fil-A or will it be a Chick-fil-B?” – This rhetorical question highlights a playful use of language that engages the audience, showcasing how humor can be integrated into conversation.
- “How did they cut that? It’s a device, isn’t it?” – Here, the speaker uses tag questions, which are common in spoken English and can help you sound more natural when conversing.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice your speaking skills through this video, pay special attention to certain pronunciations that may be tricky:
- “Chick-fil-A” – The name is pronounced quickly and may sound like a single word, which can be challenging for non-native speakers. Practice saying it slowly, and then speed it up.
- “Waffle fries” – The 'w' sound combined with the 'f' in "waffle fries" may be difficult if you are not accustomed to English consonant clusters.
- “Sauce” – Unlike some languages that have a softer 's' sound, in English it is pronounced more forcefully. Ensure you practice getting the sound crisp.
By shadowing the dialogue and practicing the highlighted expressions, you can improve your English speaking practice. Engaging with content like this not only helps you learn but also exposes you to cultural nuances. So grab your headphones, and let’s dive into some delicious language practice!
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
