1
Hello and welcome to the World in English.
2
I'm Jake.
3
And I'm Sophia.
4
And today we have a topic that I personally love very much.
5
Food.
6
Food!
7
And more specifically, what happens when you sit down at a restaurant and everything is in English?
8
The menu, the waiter, the other people at the table – all in English.
9
And you need to order, ask questions, and have a conversation.
10
If that situation makes you a little nervous, this video is exactly what you need.
11
And if this is your first time here, welcome to the world in English.
12
We are a community of people learning English together.
13
Not a classroom, a family.
14
Subscribe and give this video a like so you never miss what we make next.
15
And tell us in the comments, what is your favorite food?
16
In English, of course.
17
We want to know everything.
18
Okay, let's set the scene.
19
Two people are going to a restaurant a real English-speaking restaurant.
20
What happens first?
21
The first thing that happens before you even sit down, the host or the waiter at the door asks you something, and it is almost always the same question.
22
What question?
23
Do you have a reservation?
24
Or how many in your party?
25
How many in your party?
26
That one confuses a lot of people.
27
Party sounds like a celebration.
28
Ha!
29
I know, but in this context, party just means group.
30
How many people are you with?
31
So, the answer is simple.
32
Just the two of us.
33
Or, a table for four, please.
34
And if you don't have a reservation?
35
Just say, we don't have a reservation.
36
Do you have a table available?
37
Most of the time, they will check and find you something.
38
And if not, they will tell you the waiting time.
39
The wait is about 20 minutes.
40
And then you decide to stay or go somewhere else.
41
Exactly.
42
Now you are seated.
43
The waiter comes to your table.
44
What do they say first?
45
Usually something like, can I get you something to drink?
46
Or are you ready to order?
47
Or do you need a few more minutes?
48
And what do you say when you need more time?
49
Because some people always need more time.
50
Ha!
51
I do.
52
I always need more time with a menu.
53
I say, could we have a few more minutes, please?
54
Or just, just a minute, please.
55
I'm still deciding.
56
Both completely natural, and the waiter will come back.
57
No pressure.
58
Now the drinks come, you look at the menu, and here is where it gets interesting because sometimes you don't understand something on the menu.
59
This happens all the time, even in your own language sometimes.
60
So what do you say?
61
You ask, simply and directly, excuse me, what is this dish?
62
Or what does this come with?
63
Or is this spicy?
64
What does this come with is such a useful question, because sometimes the menu says the main item, but doesn't tell you what is on the side.
65
Exactly.
66
You want to know if your steak comes with chips or salad. That matters.
67
Very important information.
68
Now you are ready to order.
69
What do you say?
70
The most natural way is, I'll have the followed by what you want.
71
I'll have the pasta please.
72
I'll have the grilled chicken.
73
I'll have the soup to start and the salmon for the main.
74
I'll have sounds so much more natural than I want.
75
Much more natural.
76
I want is grammatically correct, but it can sound a little blunt in a restaurant.
77
I'll have, or could I have, or I'd like, these are all more polite and more fluent.
78
And if you have a dietary requirement, something you can't eat or don't eat, how do you say that?
79
You say it clearly and simply.
80
I'm vegetarian, is there meat in this?
81
Or I'm allergic to nuts, could you check if this dish contains nuts?
82
Or could I have this without the onions, please?
83
Restaurants hear these requests all the time.
84
There's nothing embarrassing about asking.
85
Your health and your preferences matter.
86
And a good restaurant will always accommodate if they can.
87
Now let's talk about during the meal.
88
The food arrives, what do you say?
89
The waiter puts the plate in front of you and says, enjoy your meal. Or enjoy.
90
You say, thank you.
91
That's it.
92
Simple, warm, natural.
93
And if something is wrong, the food is cold, or they brought the wrong dish, what do you do?
94
You speak up, politely but clearly.
95
Excuse me, I think there might be a mistake.
96
I ordered the chicken, but this is the fish.
97
Or, I'm sorry, could you heat this up?
98
It's a little The key words are I think and I'm sorry at the beginning.
99
They soften the complaint without making it less clear.
100
And most waiters genuinely want to fix the problem.
101
They are not your enemy.
102
They want you to have a good experience.
103
Now the meal is finished.
104
You want to pay.
105
What do you say?
106
You catch the waiter's eye or raise your hand gently and say, could we have the bill, please?
107
In American English, they say, check.
108
Could we have the check, please?
109
Both are correct.
110
And if you want to pay separately, what is the phrase?
111
Could we pay separately, please?
112
Or can we split the bill?
113
The waiter will usually say yes and bring separate bills or ask how you want to divide it.
114
Now, I have a restaurant story.
115
Want to hear it?
116
Oh, please tell us.
117
So, this was a few years ago.
118
I was at a restaurant with some colleagues, all native English speakers, and I was trying very hard to sound natural and confident.
119
The waiter asked if I wanted still or sparkling water, and I panicked.
120
I forgot which one meant with bubbles and which one meant without.
121
Ha!
122
That is such a relatable moment.
123
I sat there for about five seconds, which felt like five minutes, and then I said, whichever one doesn't have bubbles, please.
124
And everyone at the table laughed.
125
But it worked.
126
It worked perfectly.
127
The waiter smiled and said, still water it is.
128
And from that day, I never forgot means no bubbles, sparkling means bubbles.
129
That is a great way to learn.
130
A little embarrassment and you never forget.
131
Never.
132
What about you?
133
Any restaurant moments?
134
One, I was in London, my first time ordering in English in a real British restaurant.
135
Everything was going well until the waiter asked, how would you like your steak cooked?
136
And you didn't know the words.
137
I had no idea.
138
Rare, medium, well done.
139
I had never heard these words in this context.
140
I looked at him completely blank.
141
What did you do?
142
I said, not too pink, please.
143
And he said, medium well, perfect.
144
And it was perfect.
145
It was exactly what I wanted.
146
Not too pink.
147
I love that.
148
Sometimes describing what you want in simple words works better than trying to remember the technical term.
149
Don't be afraid to explain rather than name.
150
That is one of the most useful things anyone can do in English.
151
If you don't know the word, describe it.
152
Always.
153
Okay, let's finish with some essential restaurant phrases altogether, the ones you absolutely need to know to get a table
154
a table for two please do you have any tables available
155
we have a reservation under the name to order drinks could
156
we see the drinks menu i'll have a sparkling water please
157
what do you recommend to order food i'll have the could
158
i have please what does this come with is this dish
159
spicy to handle problems excuse me i think there might be a mistake.
160
Could I have this without?
161
I'm allergic to. To pay.
162
Could we have the bill, please?
163
Can we split the bill?
164
Do you accept card?
165
And the one phrase that works in every situation, excuse me, could you help me, please?
166
Because a polite question always opens a door.
167
Now tell us in the comments, have you ever been to a restaurant where you had to speak English?
168
What happened?
169
Did it go well?
170
Did something funny happen?
171
We want to hear your stories, every single one.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
