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

62

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

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
