00:12Episode 5, Eating Out and Food
00:17Hello everyone.
00:19Take a deep breath.
00:22Before we start today, I want to share a secret with you.
00:28Many people try to learn English too fast, but the real secret to success is to listen slowly.
00:36When you listen to slow English, your brain has time to process every sound.
00:44Your ears get used to the rhythm.
00:47This is how you build real confidence.
00:52So, for this lesson, I want you to relax.
00:57Be patient with yourself.
01:00You are here, you are learning, and that is something to be proud of.
01:06Welcome to Episode 5 of English Step by Step.
01:12I am Adam.
01:14I am so happy to be here with you today.
01:18In our last episode, we explored the house.
01:23Today, we are going outside.
01:27We are going to a restaurant.
01:30Food is a universal language, but knowing how to order in English will make your experience much better.
01:39Whether you are traveling or just practicing, today's lesson is very practical.
01:46Let's start with the basics.
01:49Imagine you walk into a restaurant.
01:53The first person you see is the waiter or the waitress.
01:58Repeat after me.
02:01Waiter
02:04Table for two, please.
02:12Menu, please.
02:18Very good.
02:21Now, let's look at the different types of food.
02:25Repeat after me.
02:28Breakfast
02:32Lunch
02:35Dinner
02:39In a restaurant, the meal is usually divided into three parts.
02:46Listen and repeat.
02:49Appetizer
02:50This is the small starter.
02:58Main course
02:59This is the big plate.
03:07Dessert
03:08This is the sweet part at the end.
03:16Now, let's learn the most important sentence for ordering food.
03:22Many students say, I want
03:25But, I want, is a bit too direct.
03:29In English, it is much more polite to say, I would like
03:35Let's practice this together.
03:39Repeat after me.
03:41I would like a pizza, please.
03:49I would like a salad, please.
03:57I would like a glass of water, please.
04:05Do you hear the difference?
04:07It sounds very professional and kind.
04:12Now, let's try a simulation.
04:15I am the waiter, and you are the customer.
04:20I will ask you a question, and you answer me using, I would like.
04:26Are you ready?
04:28Hello.
04:30Welcome to our restaurant.
04:33What would you like to eat today?
04:42Excellent choice.

04:54Repeat after me.
04:57Coffee
05:00Tea
05:04Orange juice
05:09Sparkling water
05:13now what happens at the end of the meal you need to pay to ask for the price you can
05:22say
05:23the check please or the bill please repeat after me the bill please
