Hey, you made it!

Come in, make yourself at home.

Hey everyone, I'm Alex, thanks for clicking,

and welcome to this lesson on inviting people to your house or going to someone's house for dinner, for example.

So, in this lesson, you will learn some practical English sentences, phrases that are used

when you invite someone somewhere to your home specifically uh how to respond to like the smell of food

and what to say at the dinner table uh what to say

when people leave your home if you invite them to your house

and we also have what to say at the door for instance I will cover that for now.

So let's start with the invitation.

So if you are inviting someone to your home, you are the host of, for example, a dinner party in this case,

you can ask someone, you can ask your friends or your family, what are you doing on plus the date, right?

So what are you doing on Saturday on Sunday afternoon, for example?

Another way to ask this a little more directly is, hey, are you free?

Are you free for dinner on Saturday?

Are you free for lunch on Saturday, for example?

And one more example, you can just ask, do you want to come over?

So come over means come to my home.

Do you want to come over for dinner on Saturday?

All right.

So repeat these after me, everyone.

Number one, what are you doing on Saturday?

Are you free for dinner on Saturday?

do you want to come over for dinner on Saturday okay

and I know I get this question in the comments sometimes

some students say Alex I love your British accent I don't have a British accent everyone

so if you want to know what accent I have I live in Canada

and the accent I have is typical of like standard Canadian English,

which is more like Southern Ontario English is what you could say.

Okay.

Next, if you are a guest and someone invites you to their home,

you can always offer to bring something, right?

If they are inviting you for dinner, it's always polite to ask if you should bring something if you can.

Bring something so here we have should I bring anything right?

Do you want me to bring dessert or do you want me to bring something to drink?

how about Should I pick up some wine on the way right like on the road to your house?

Should I pick up some drinks some wine some dessert?

usually you offer like something to drink or dessert or maybe some snacks right and uh also what can i bring

and sometimes you can also ask like do do you need

anything right are you missing anything no i have everything i need it's okay

or ah actually um could you grab some juice could you bring some juice with you, right?

All right, so let's practice.

I want you to speak.

This is language that you will use in a real social situation, so let's practice it now.

Repeat after me.

Should I bring anything?

Do you want me to bring dessert?

should I pick up some wine on the way?

What can I bring?

Very good.

All right.

Now we have the invitation.

OK, we offered to bring something because we were invited to a party.

We have offered to bring something to the party.

And now we are the host.

We open the door.

We are at the door.

We open the door.

And at the beginning of this lesson, I said, you made it.

That means you arrived successfully and i said oh thanks for coming

or come in right

so you made it it's like oh you're here you are

here that's the meaning of you made it maybe the person was stuck in traffic for a long time

and you are just happy because oh they were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago

So when you hear the knock on the door, you open the door, I'm so glad you made it.

You finally made it.

You can say, thanks for coming.

And then you can offer, you know, tell them, invite them to come into your home.

You can say, come in.

A little more casual, come on in, right?

Come on in, you can also say.

Here are some other common things that people say at the door

when they open the door to their home and they have guests.

It's good to see you.

I can take your jacket.

You can leave your shoes there.

You can take off your shoes.

And a very nice invitation, right?

When they come in, you can say, make yourself comfortable, right?

So this means come into my home.

My home is your home.

Make yourself comfortable or make yourself at home.

And finally, have a seat.

OK, so have a seat means go sit, find a place to sit, relax, chill, right?

Feel comfortable.

So instead of have a seat, you can also use the verb take, right?

Take a seat, have a seat.

A little more casual is the verb grab.

So you can also invite someone to grab a seat, right?

Grab is like this.

You grab something similar to catching, but grabbing, you're grasping like this.

All right.

So before we continue, repeat after me.

You made it.

Thanks for coming.

Come on in.

It's good to see you.

I can take your jacket.

You can leave your shoes there.

100

Make yourself comfortable.

101

Make yourself at home. Have a seat. So far so good?

102

Okay.

103

Oh, do you smell that?

104

Dinner's almost ready.

105

Okay, let's go.

106

Okay, so if you are a guest, you might react in this way when you enter someone's home,

107

and you can smell the food that is coming from the kitchen, this aroma that is in the air.

108

You can say something smells great, right?

109

You can also say, ah, it smells good in here.

110

You can also say if you see something on the table or, you know, on the counter in the kitchen or in the stove,

111

ah, that looks amazing, or that looks delicious.

112

And you can also offer to help, right?

113

You are at someone's home.

114

Maybe you want to help them set the table or, you know, get the utensils, whatever it is you can offer to help by saying,

115

do you need help with anything?

116

Or do you need any help with anything?

117

Or just do you need any help?

118

Do you need any help?

119

Also works.

120

Okay.

121

So repeat after me.

122

Remember you are in the home.

123

It smells really good.

124

So repeat after me.

125

Something smells great.

126

It smells good in here. That looks amazing.

127

Do you need help with anything?

128

Perfect.

129

Now, a little later, we are sitting at the table.

130

We are ready to eat.

131

These are things that you might hear from the guest or the host at the party.

132

So help yourself.

133

This would be the host.

134

Help yourself means don't wait for me to serve you.

135

Just take what you need from the table.

136

So usually in this case, you know, the food is prepared in pots and pans and on plates,

137

and you are supposed to serve yourself.

138

Right.

139

So help yourself.

140

Right.

141

You can also say, be my guest.

142

Be my guest as well.

143

All right.

144

I think that's a famous Disney song.

145

Another thing, help yourself dig in, right?

146

Dig in.

147

To dig is to do this with a shovel in English.

148

When we say, all right, dig in means like start eating, right?

149

Start eating, dig in.

150

You might hear this question from your host, or maybe you will ask this,

151

you know, to your child if you come to a dinner party with your child.

152

How is it?

153

Do you like it?

154

Right?

155

So how is it?

156

Do you like it?

157

Yeah, it's perfect.

158

Oh, it's delicious.

159

Or it's good.

160

Right?

161

Just if you want to be polite, and it's not great, that's not terrible.

162

It's good.

163

Or it's a little salty, but it's good.

164

You can criticize food more if it was ordered, like from a restaurant or a place.

165

If the person at the house made the food, it's usually not a good idea to criticize it unless you're like super close friends with this person

166

or it's a family member.

167

I have told, you know, my mother-in-law before, like, mom, you put too much salt, right?

168

Or it's too salty.

169

So yes, How is it?

170

Do you like it?

171

Very common request at the dinner table.

172

Could you pass me the potatoes, the salt?

173

Could you pass me the steak or the chicken, for example?

174

Do you want another one?

175

Right.

176

Do you want another potato or another piece of meat or another helping of vegetables or something like that?

177

Would you like some more?

178

Right.

179

Would you like some more?

180

So this one actually is more for plurals and for non-countables, right?

181

Would you like some more vegetables?

182

Would you like some more meat, for example?

183

And you can also react in this way if you like something a lot and you say, ah, I want to make this at home by myself.

184

You have to give me the recipe.

185

So this word here, R-E-C, that's an I, I think you can see.

186

P-E is recipe.

187

So repeat after me.

188

Recipe.

189

Recipe.

190

Good.

191

So these are the ingredients to make a specific dish.

192

So repeat after me, everyone.

193

Help yourself.

194

Dig in.

195

How is it?

196

Do you like it?

197

Could you pass me the salt?

198

Do you want another one?

199

Would you like some more?

200

You have to give me the recipe.

201

Okay.

202

And now we have eaten dinner.

203

We have relaxed.

204

We are at the end of the evening.

205

I touched the mic.

206

I don't know if you heard that.

207

And we have to thank the host.

208

If we are the guest, it is always polite to thank the host.

209

You are going to say goodbye.

210

You're at the door again.

211

You can say, ah, thanks for having us, right?

212

So this means thanks for hosting.

213

Thanks for inviting us and for creating a nice ambiance, a nice dinner, a nice experience experience for us.

214

And if you have thanked them before, you can say, ah, thanks again.

215

216

217

Thanks for hosting.

218

Right.

219

Thanks for being the hosts, for being, for giving us the place, for giving us a table, for inviting us.

220

You can also just say, ah, this was great.

221

Or this was a lot of fun.

222

And you can also just go for the classic.

223

Well, thanks for inviting us.

224

You can also say me if you come solo.

225

Most people come in groups, I feel.

226

So thanks for inviting us.

227

And if you are, well, actually repeat after me before we continue.

228

Don't look.

229

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
