Hello, hello, hello.
4
Welcome back, my friends.
5
I have a question for you.
6
A very important question.
7
Ooh, I like important questions.
8
What is it, David?
9
Okay, imagine this.
10
You walk into a beautiful restaurant.
11
The food smells amazing.
12
You sit down.
13
The waiter comes to you and says, are you ready to order?
14
Oh, that moment!
15
I remember that feeling when I was learning English.
16
My heart was going boom, boom, boom!
17
Yes!
18
Boom, boom, boom!
19
You don't know what to say.
20
You don't know the words.
21
You feel a little nervous, maybe a little embarrassed.
22
Yes, exactly!
23
That is such a common feeling for English learners.
24
But today, today we are going to fix that!
25
Yes, after this video, you will know exactly what to say at a restaurant in English, from the moment you walk in to the moment you pay and leave.
26
Everything.
27
We will teach you everything, step by step, nice and slow.
28
And David, this is actually one of my favorite topics, because food!

41
Just one little tap, it means a lot to us.
42
Okay, now let's go to the restaurant.
43
Are you ready?
44
I'm ready and I'm hungry.
45
Alice is always hungry.
46
Let's go.
47
Okay, Alice, let's imagine we are going to a restaurant together, you and me.
48
I love it.
49
What kind of restaurant?
50
A nice, simple restaurant.
51
Maybe burgers, pasta, salad, a casual place.
52
Perfect.
53
So we walk in through the door and then what?
54
The first thing that happens, someone greets you.
55
Maybe a waiter or a host.
56
They say hello, welcome, and then they ask you something very common.
57
What do they say?
58
They say, how many people?
59
Or sometimes, how many are in your party?
60
Oh, party.
61
That's a funny word here.
62
It doesn't mean a birthday party.
63
Right.
64
In a restaurant, party just means your group.
65
So if it's two people, you and me, you say, two people, please.
66
Or simply, a table for two, please.
67
Let's say it together, slowly.
68
Ready?
69
A table for two, please.
70
One more time.
71
Nice and clear.
72
A table for two, please.
73
Beautiful.
74
Now, what if you are alone?
75
Good question.
76
If you are alone, you say, a table for one, please.
77
Simple, right?
78
And if you are with four friends?
79
A table for four, please.
80
You just change the number.
81
Easy.
82
I love it when English is easy.
83
Me too.
84
Now, the host or waiter will often say, write this way or follow me, please.
85
That means, come with me.
86
I will show you your table.
87
And you just say, thank you.
88
Perfect. So simple.
89
You walk to the table, you sit down, and then what?
90
You look at the menu.
91
Yes, but wait.
92
Sometimes the waiter gives you the menu right away, and sometimes you have to ask for it.
93
So if they don't give it to you, you can say, Can we have the menu, please?
94
Say it slowly.
95
Can we have the menu, please?
96
Or even shorter, the menu, please, and you can smile and point.
97
That also works.
98
Yes, sometimes a smile is the best English.
99
Okay, so now you have the menu.
100
you are looking at it, maybe you are a little confused, there are many things, many words.
101
Yes, this happens to me.
102
Sometimes I open the menu and I see a word I don't know and I feel nervous.
103
Okay, so what do you do?
104
I ask the waiter and in English you can say, excuse me, what is this?
105
And you point to the item on the menu.
106
Yes, that is so natural.
107
Excuse me, what is this?
108
Or you can say, what is in this dish?
109
That means what ingredients are in this food?
110
What is in this dish?
111
Let's say that one again.
112
What is in this dish?
113
Exactly.
114
Now, another very useful question.
115
If you have a food allergy, for example, you cannot eat nuts or gluten or dairy, you can say, I am allergic to nuts.
116
Does this have nuts?
117
That one is so important.
118
Please remember that one, everyone.
119
It's about your health.
120
I am allergic to.. and then say the food.
121
I am allergic to nuts.
122
I am allergic to gluten.
123
I am allergic to dairy.
124
Okay, so we understand the menu.
125
Now comes the big moment.
126
The order.
127
The waiter comes to the table.
128
He has a notepad.
129
He looks at you and says, are you ready to order?
130
And this is the moment.
131
Boom, boom, boom.
132
Boom, boom, boom.
133
We are ready now.
134
OK, the most important phrase for ordering food.
135
Listen carefully.
136
I would like.
137
I would like.
138
This is polite.
139
This is natural.
140
This is perfect.
141
For example, I would like the burger, please.
142
Or I would like the pasta, please.
143
You can also say, can I have the burger, please?
144
This is also very natural and polite.
145
Let's compare.
146
I would like the burger and can I have the burger?
147
Both are correct.
148
Both are polite.
149
Both are good.
150
I personally love can I have because it sounds very casual and friendly.
151
Yes, and if you are not sure yet, if you need more time, you can say can we have a few more minutes, please?
152
Can we have a few more minutes, please?
153
The waiter will smile and say of course.
154
Nobody will be angry.
155
Don't worry.
156
Take your time.
157
Okay, so let's do a little practice.
158
David, you be the waiter, I'll be the customer.
159
Okay, good evening.
160
Are you ready to order?
161
Yes, I would like the chicken sandwich, please.
162
Excellent choice.
163
And to drink?
164
Can I have a glass of water, please?
165
And maybe an orange juice? Of course.
166
Anything else?
167
No, thank you.
168
That's all for now.
169
Perfect.
170
Did you hear that?
171
Let's break it down.
172
First, I would like the chicken sandwich.
173
Second, can I have a glass of water?
174
Third, that's all for now.
175
That's all for now.
176
This means nothing else right now.
177
Thank you.
178
It's a very useful phrase.
179
Very natural.
180
Say it with me.
181
That's all for now.
182
Beautiful.
183
And don't forget to always say please and thank you.
184
It makes a big difference in English culture.
185
Yes.
186
In English, please and thank you are very important.
187
The waiter will love you.
188
Everyone loves polite people.
189
Okay, now let's talk about something else.
190
Sometimes you want to change something in your order.
191
You want to customize it.
192
Is that okay in a restaurant?
193
Yes.
194
In many English-speaking countries, like the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, it is very normal to make small changes.
195
For example, maybe you don't want onions.
196
You can say, can I have the burger without onions, please?
197
Without onions.
198
Very simple.
199
Or maybe you want extra cheese.
200
You say, can I have extra cheese, please?
201
Extra means more.
202
So extra cheese means more cheese.
203
I always want extra cheese.
204
Of course you do, David.
205
Or maybe you want something on the side.
206
For example, can I have the salad on the side, please?
207
On the side means separate from the main dish, not mixed in, just next to it.
208
These small phrases, without, extra, on the side, are so useful.
209
Let's say them one more time.
210
Without onions, extra cheese, on the side.
211
Perfect.
212
And one more.
213
If you are a vegetarian, someone who doesn't eat meat, you can say, do you have any vegetarian options?
214
Do you have any vegetarian options?
215
This is a great question.
216
The waiter will say yes or no, and maybe explain what they have.
217
Easy.
218
So now the food is here.
219
The waiter brings your food.
220
What do they usually say?
221
They often say, here you go, or enjoy your meal.
222
And you say, thank you.
223
Simple, beautiful.
224
Always thank you!
225
Now, what if there is a problem?
226
What if your food is wrong, or maybe you ordered something and they brought the wrong dish?
227
This happens sometimes, and it's okay.
228
You can politely say, Excuse me, I think there's a mistake.
229
I ordered the chicken, not the fish.
230
I think there is a mistake.
231
This is polite.
232
You're not angry, you're just explaining.
233
The waiter will apologize and fix it.
234
No problem!
235
And what if your food is cold, or maybe not cooked the way you wanted.
236
You can say, excuse me, my food is cold.
237
Can you heat it up please?
238
Or, this is a little undercooked.
239
Can you cook it a bit more?
240
Undercooked means not cooked enough, and overcooked means cooked too much.
241
Exactly.
242
Two new words, undercooked and overcooked.
243
Let's say them slowly.
244
Under cooked, over cooked.
245
Great!
246
Now let's talk about something happy.
247
What if the food is delicious?
248
Oh, yes.
249
If the food is amazing, you can say to the waiter, this is delicious, or this is really good, or I love this.
250
And the waiter will feel so happy.
251
They work hard.
252
They love to hear that.
253
Yes, a little kindness goes a long way.
254
Okay, the main meal is finished.
255
You ate your burger, your pasta, your salad.
256
And then the waiter comes back and asks, Would you like to see the dessert menu?
257
Oh, I love this question.
258
My favorite question at any restaurant.
259
David loves dessert.
260
This is not a surprise.
261
I do!
262
Okay, so if you want dessert, you say, yes please, or sure, why not?
263
That means yes, but in a relaxed, friendly way.
264
And if you are full, if you ate too much, you can say, no thank you, I'm full.
265
I'm full means your stomach is full.
266
You don't want more food.
267
Or maybe you want something small, you can say, just a coffee please, or can I have a small dessert?
268
What do you recommend?
269
Oh, what do you recommend?
270
This This is a great question.
271
It means, what do you think is the best?
272
What is your favorite?
273
The waiter will tell you what is popular, what is good, and then you decide.
274
Let's say that phrase one more time.
275
What do you recommend?
276
What do you recommend?
277
Learn this one.
278
It's useful in restaurants and shops, everywhere.
279
Okay, my friends, the meal is finished.
280
The dessert is gone.
281
It's time to go home.
282
But first, you need to pay.
283
Yes.
284
How do you ask for the bill in English?
285
The most common phrase is, can we have the bill please?
286
In American English, people sometimes say check instead of bill.
287
So can we have the check please?
288
Both are correct.
289
The bill is more British English.
290
The check is more American English.
291
So you can say, can we have the bill please?
292
Or can we have the check please?
293
Or even shorter, the bill please.
294
And you can make a little writing gesture with your hand like you are signing something.
295
Waiters understand immediately.
296
Yes, the international sign for I want to pay.
297
It works everywhere.
298
Now, when the waiter brings the bill, you might hear, how would you like to pay?
299
This means cash or card.
300
And you say, by card, please, or in cash, please.
301
By card, that means credit card or debit card.
302
In cash, that means money, paper money.
303
And sometimes people split the bill.
304
That means each person pays for themselves.
305
Yes.
306
If you want to split, you can say, can we split the bill, please?
307
Or can we pay separately, please?
308
Separately means each person pays their own part.
309
And if one person wants to pay for everyone, maybe it's a birthday dinner.
310
You can say, I'll get this one.
311
Or it's on me.
312
It's on me.
313
This is a very natural, friendly phrase.
314
It means I will pay.
315
Don't worry.
316
Nice.
317
I want someone to
318
that to me one day david one day okay you paid
319
now you are leaving what do you say simple you say to the waiter thank you everything was wonderful
320
or thank you we really enjoyed the meal we enjoyed the
321
meal enjoyed means liked a lot past tense of enjoy
322
and the waiter might say thank you have a great evening or come back soon.
323
And you say, thank you, we will.
324
And you walk out feeling happy and full.
325
The perfect end to a perfect meal.
326
Okay, my friends, now let's review.
327
Let's go through all the important phrases from today nice and slowly.
328

Вы сможете увидеть, как главные герои общаются друг с другом, и это поможет вам представить себя на месте изучающих английский. Благодаря этому контексту, вам будет легче запомнить фразы и использовать их на практике. Кроме того, взаимодействие в реальной жизни, как посещение ресторана, создает идеальные условия для применения изученного. Так что, если вы хотите развить свои навыки разговорной речи, это видео — отличный старт!
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
- Are you ready to order? — Эта фраза используется, чтобы узнать, готов ли клиент сделать заказ. Она обобщает тему повседневного общения в ресторане.
- I remember that feeling... — Использование прошедшего времени помогает передать ощущения и эмоции, связанные с опытом изучения языка. Это важный элемент, который поможет вам создать аналогичные предложения в будущем.
- My heart was going boom, boom, boom! — Здесь мы видим использование метафоры для описания волнения, что делает речь более живой и образной. Не стесняйтесь добавлять такие детали в свои разговоры!
Распространенные трудности с произношением
При изучении английского языка важно обратить внимание на произношение. В данном видео могут возникнуть трудности с такими словами как order и restaurant. Попробуйте произносить их несколько раз: ордэр, рэстора́н. Также важно следить за интонацией: в вопросах интонация поднимается в конце, что может быть непривычно для русскоязычных. Практика разговорного английского через shadow speech поможет вам лучше запомнить правильное произношение и интонацию. Не забывайте, что учить английский с YouTube — это не только полезно, но и интересно!
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
