Ordering in English feels like you’re ordering in a whole different language cause they ask you all kind of things you’re not used to respond in your language and everything it’s on a speed mode. 😂
This is interesting as there is nothing more USA than regular brewed coffee. All the specialty coffees probably originate from places like Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Cuba, Turkey...

When you try to franchise it doesn't always end up good for prices I guess. In italy coffee (espresso, obv) was like 60 cents 30 years ago. Then was raised up to 70, 80, then 1 euro was the average price in 2021. And it was already a lot for us. Now, in 2024 it approaches 1,20 euros... That's like a lot.

Well actually it is like that thanks to the customers... it is the customers that started to customize their coffees every time that started to make more and more labels for every option, cause how else can we all know exactly what people want, if you take a few minutes of your time to learn like the most popular labels such as the ratio between coffee and milk it actually makes you realize how effective this system actually is (this coming from someone who used to think the same but happened to get a barista work)

Just ask for black or americano with three shots of espresso no cream no sugar unless you want sugar. Also, I'm not sure if black is just americano or if there's a distinction. However, neither black nor americano are espresso and if you're Italian you probably want stronger coffee. Americano is watered down espresso so asking for three small shots of espresso in your americano should give you something close to an espresso.

I’m like this and I speak English. My auditory processing is really bad, so I can tell when the person is talking it just doesn’t always translate to actual words and sentences in my head. I will say though that a big problem now in fast food is that your manager/boss usually doesn’t care as long as you get the job done and you get it done fast.
True for anyone speaking in their second language in the country of that language. I went to a grocery store to buy some items. I was expecting a greeting, or to ask if I wanted a bag or not, and the price. Instead she asked me if I had a store card, but that card had a special name and I had zero idea what she was talking about. In addition to local slang and colloquialisms, you also have people that talk softly, don´t pronounce all of the syllables, and suddenly you wonder if you´re in a completely different country. So much for being close to fluent. Foiled again.
Greatest tip ever for any language: after you take some classes and study the rules, consume all the content that you like, topics that you enjoy in that language. My hearing and my thinking improved a lot.
I loved the way she says "Juancito" in Spanish, proofing her actual wielding over the language as it's spoken in America!!! Another person less smart that just speak Spain Spanish or at minimums of level would have said "Juanito" instead. ¡You're great @carocowanzenglish
Yeah like all the people that speak Spanish that are "less smart" that pronounce English, German, or French words wrong... Yeah, they are so much better than them, right? Am I right? A**hole.
What's the difference between Juancito and Juanito? Is Juanito wrong? I had a Chilean friend and I used to call him Juanito. He never said anything about it.
@ruivam Not, but in countries as such Peru or Bolivia, parts of Argentina, Colombia, etc, it most common to using "Juancito" instead of "Juanito" but the Anglos don't know these differences and sometimes they think all Spanish American are the same and everything here we look and speak as Mexican. Thanks God Carolina is Argentinian, not British or from USA, so she knows how really speak Spanish in America.
I feel like if I realize someone is having a hard time understanding me I'd just be mindful of talking slowly and clearly. You never know their circumstances
As someone who has trouble with hearing and needs to process words longer: THANK YOU. I can guess what's someone is saying as I speak English quite well, but being in a country where everything is different - including trivial things like the process of getting food, the culture of talking to people etc - makes it so hard to guess what the person is saying, because I lack social context that I would normally have in my country
As someone with auditory processing issues tysm 😭 It’s so stressful trying to hear people sometimes and my brain takes forever to load what they were saying and so there’s a lot of awkward moments but I appreciate the people who get it and are patient
I've done the same. The last time I worked retail I had a few different instances of people with a variety of disabilities shopping/needing assistance, and I tried to make a point to match my speech to theirs. If they were using simple, straightforward language, I did as well. If they spoke slowly, I waited while they spoke and responded in a slower way (not excessively so because I didn't want them to feel mocked, but slow enough that I was sure they wouldn't likely be struggling to follow what I was saying). I had on woman who struggled for several minutes to count her change before admitting she was from another country and didn't remember what US coins were worth what! I offered to help and showed her each kind of coin, it's name, and value, and together we counted out her change. It costs so little to be kind to others, especially when it's clear they could use some extra support.
It’s very confusing because “grande” means large in Spanish and Italian and that’s supposed to be the size medium, the small is called tall and the large is called venti, come on!
Definitely there is no better videos on Internet to improve English skills easily, specially vocabulary, I can watch a lot of them and after repeating it another day to memorize. Thank you so much!!
Keep in mind some cultural differences. For example in Spain most bar got 1 or max 2 beers from barrel, and all other varieties are bottled. You can specify size but "give me a beer" normally translates as: just give me the common beer you serve in this place.
Agreed. Im a Starbucks barista and I have people come in asking if we sell coffee. Like…my guy…YES. I have patience for people when they order in the cafe, especially if they speak little to no English. I’m 1st gen American, my parents barely speak English. But through drive thru…baby we’re timed and I expect you to already know what you want
Just ask for the correct sized brewed coffee with however many creams/sugars as you want. Saying brewed will help a lot (unless you want something else). Also in real life, we won’t ask if you want brewed coffee hot or iced, since we know. And don’t worry about “tall, grande, or venti” that’s specifically at Starbucks, and they seriously don’t care if you say that or small, medium, or large. Edit: I wanted to add that baristas will definitely be patient and happy to help if you need help. I just wanted to give a template on how to order. [Size] brewed coffee with X sugars and cream (or a little bit of cream or lot of cream)
This happen obly in USA and Starbucks' when they're opened abroad, try to ask something like this in Italy where coffee is one of the most drunk things, and I assure you will find yourself on the street without realizing how you got there
It makes sense to teach beginners through an approach with a focus that gets down to basics, strips away some nuance and makes things digestible. Understanding some foundational words, phrases, grammar etc can really be the bedrock as we move on to advanced things, particularly learning how everyday people really talk. It's always key to know whether you just want to learn some things to communicate a little while traveling, whether you're studying as a hobby, or if you're committed in the long run and what context you might be using it (Ie the difference between working at a law firm versus a nightclub). As this skit shows pretty realistically, these situations may be embarrassing, and certainly not the way to minimize stress and culture shock if you're looking at taking on a high pressure job on a work visa for example, but really it's fine if you're only in the county for a week or so, as you will certainly see improvement from such immersion. If and when we learn slang and casual pronunciation should be directly tailored to our goals, interests and how we learn personally.
Comment on your skills: I loved the way you say "Juancito" proofing your wielding of Spanish from America! Any person with minimums of Spanish level or basic knowledge only would have said "Juanito" instead! Great @carokowanzenglish
intresting fact! starbucks spell our names wrong on purpose so we would post about it so people would see how theyre names would look like so that basically means were sponsoring them😅
Interesting fact! I'm a former sbux barista and this is a common myth! At least in my experience, it often just LOUD and BUSY and im dyslexic. I promise your average barista doesnt care enough to push some stupidly specific marketing scheme, let alone one intended to intentionally anger customers. No manager or shift leader has EVER told me to do that, and I worked w them for 4+ years. Just my experience tho
I think every place that sells coffee should have something on the menu as a standardized "coffee." I do enjoy customized drinks, but I feel like a large number of people I know don't want anything to do with that, and just want simplicity
As an Italian I'm so confused by the "Grande / Venti" sizes. "Grande" in Italian literally means "BIG", "Venti" can both mean "Twenty" or "Winds", depending on the accent on the E. I would be so confused in a situation like this, which one is like regular/normal size? lol

The prettiest accent: Argentinian ❤
Simply the best place to study english, I'm from Brazil and at first I swore you were too :)
Greatest tip ever for any language: after you take some classes and study the rules, consume all the content that you like, topics that you enjoy in that language. My hearing and my thinking improved a lot.
AV and anime for Japanese.
Excuse me?
True true
And don't be over 30 with memory issues, time issues or any issues 😅
I loved the way she says "Juancito" in Spanish, proofing her actual wielding over the language as it's spoken in America!!! Another person less smart that just speak Spain Spanish or at minimums of level would have said "Juanito" instead. ¡You're great @carocowanzenglish
Yeah like all the people that speak Spanish that are "less smart" that pronounce English, German, or French words wrong... Yeah, they are so much better than them, right? Am I right? A**hole.
What's the difference between Juancito and Juanito? Is Juanito wrong? I had a Chilean friend and I used to call him Juanito. He never said anything about it.
@ruivam Not, but in countries as such Peru or Bolivia, parts of Argentina, Colombia, etc, it most common to using "Juancito" instead of "Juanito" but the Anglos don't know these differences and sometimes they think all Spanish American are the same and everything here we look and speak as Mexican. Thanks God Carolina is Argentinian, not British or from USA, so she knows how really speak Spanish in America.
And this is why I only drink tea...at home. 😭
This's so me😂
I work at something similar to a café and I can say this is pretty accurate omg 😭
Nos enseñas y nos entretienes al mismo tiempo. Eres adorable!!
She’s so beautiful omg 😊
Your smile , just after the angel gives the bottle of coffee , always get me !
Aww thank you 🥰
In many parts of the US if you say something like "I'm learning English, keep it simple" we will. We know we can be mumbly and confusing sometimes.
Saint people. I miss you here, in France 😂
I'd do that but I don't want to get shot.
That's unfortunately not the current image the country is selling of itself :x
thanks, useful information
@@GYXNES the south does lol. Most Foreigners prefer the south States of the US one reason is the friendly ppl
Ну сфере обслуживания человек же должен соревноваться как общаться с покупателем. Если ты видишь что он приезжий, то можно донести все понятнее.
Ну она и доносит со 2-го раза
I love your video it's really happened with me
That uniform looks familiar...
2 broke girls. However I assume that's often dinner uniforms
@@NanaNaima1 I know, I'm commenting it jokingly
I feel like if I realize someone is having a hard time understanding me I'd just be mindful of talking slowly and clearly. You never know their circumstances
As someone who has trouble with hearing and needs to process words longer: THANK YOU. I can guess what's someone is saying as I speak English quite well, but being in a country where everything is different - including trivial things like the process of getting food, the culture of talking to people etc - makes it so hard to guess what the person is saying, because I lack social context that I would normally have in my country
As someone with auditory processing issues tysm 😭 It’s so stressful trying to hear people sometimes and my brain takes forever to load what they were saying and so there’s a lot of awkward moments but I appreciate the people who get it and are patient
I've done the same. The last time I worked retail I had a few different instances of people with a variety of disabilities shopping/needing assistance, and I tried to make a point to match my speech to theirs. If they were using simple, straightforward language, I did as well. If they spoke slowly, I waited while they spoke and responded in a slower way (not excessively so because I didn't want them to feel mocked, but slow enough that I was sure they wouldn't likely be struggling to follow what I was saying). I had on woman who struggled for several minutes to count her change before admitting she was from another country and didn't remember what US coins were worth what! I offered to help and showed her each kind of coin, it's name, and value, and together we counted out her change.
It costs so little to be kind to others, especially when it's clear they could use some extra support.
I love your videos, Caro! I'm from Argentina and I'm learning English thanks to you. 🇦🇷❤️
Caro es de Argentina ajajajajaja
Coffee Problem❌
Starbucks Problem✅
That 'Ah' remind me to Mike🤣
They are all from the caroverse 😂❤️
More biker mike please 😈
@carokowanzenglish hey great name for a series..Caroverse and her friends? Lol
She has such a wonderful and special humor, I love her videos and I think she is a really pretty woman. ❤
It’s very confusing because “grande” means large in Spanish and Italian and that’s supposed to be the size medium, the small is called tall and the large is called venti, come on!
It's like 2 BROKE GIRLS serie 😂
Definitely there is no better videos on Internet to improve English skills easily, specially vocabulary, I can watch a lot of them and after repeating it another day to memorize. Thank you so much!!
You better ask yourself if the waitress speaks proper English...
"Heres your drink Camila 😒" soo funny 😭😭
Oh my gosh I love the uniform reference to 2 Broke Girls 😊
Me encanta, Carolina!!! Aprendo un montón contigo.😂😊
Un placer ayudar ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
Moi aussi
Your voice is so soothing ❤
okay but just imagine being a bartender and the customer says "give me 1 drink"
or being a waitress and the customer says "i would like some food"
They do this often. "Give me a beer." Any beer? Dealer's choice? It's a lot faster to order specifically what you want. 😅
Well, actually, in Italy, a coffee is just an espresso. So, the costumer is not so wrong.
If someone asks for a regular coffee, it's pretty obvious what they want.
Keep in mind some cultural differences. For example in Spain most bar got 1 or max 2 beers from barrel, and all other varieties are bottled. You can specify size but "give me a beer" normally translates as: just give me the common beer you serve in this place.
Agreed. Im a Starbucks barista and I have people come in asking if we sell coffee. Like…my guy…YES. I have patience for people when they order in the cafe, especially if they speak little to no English. I’m 1st gen American, my parents barely speak English. But through drive thru…baby we’re timed and I expect you to already know what you want
Juancito 😂😂. i It is the best part of the video. Great and funny videos. Greatings from Perú 😊
THE REFERENCE TO 2 BROKE GIRLS (Caroline and the costume)
You are the best teacher ever!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😂 Why is this so funny and so true?
So relatable 😅❤️🥰
Raise the salary of the angel barista and fire the second barista immediately!
I'm so afraid to buy coffee alone.
You can do it! ❤️❤️❤️
Just ask for the correct sized brewed coffee with however many creams/sugars as you want. Saying brewed will help a lot (unless you want something else). Also in real life, we won’t ask if you want brewed coffee hot or iced, since we know. And don’t worry about “tall, grande, or venti” that’s specifically at Starbucks, and they seriously don’t care if you say that or small, medium, or large.
Edit: I wanted to add that baristas will definitely be patient and happy to help if you need help. I just wanted to give a template on how to order.
[Size] brewed coffee with X sugars and cream (or a little bit of cream or lot of cream)
@@lex5938 thank you so much❤️
Please don’t!! I used to be a barista and I had no problem being patient with new costumers❤
🥺
You can do it! ❤
The more you practice, the easier it will become.
I believe in you. ❤️
Take good care, friend. 💗
2 little broke girls 😀
Americans expecting Americano to be the “normal coffee” is just too good
Americano and brewed coffee are not the same.
I don’t think Americans expect that? Normal coffee is drip coffee. Americano is espresso over water
As a former Starbucks employee this is 100%accurate
This happen obly in USA and Starbucks' when they're opened abroad, try to ask something like this in Italy where coffee is one of the most drunk things, and I assure you will find yourself on the street without realizing how you got there
Well, when people find out that I am foreigner, they nearly always kind to me
Juancito 😅😅
Si dijo "Juancito" es porque habla español :)
Juancito is the best ❤️
Hubiese dicho Juanchito 😊
I'm so happy that I understood everything the attendant said (I'm not a native English speaker)
Hahaha, I love the slow tone she's using at the beginning. She's so cute : )
It makes sense to teach beginners through an approach with a focus that gets down to basics, strips away some nuance and makes things digestible. Understanding some foundational words, phrases, grammar etc can really be the bedrock as we move on to advanced things, particularly learning how everyday people really talk.
It's always key to know whether you just want to learn some things to communicate a little while traveling, whether you're studying as a hobby, or if you're committed in the long run and what context you might be using it (Ie the difference between working at a law firm versus a nightclub).
As this skit shows pretty realistically, these situations may be embarrassing, and certainly not the way to minimize stress and culture shock if you're looking at taking on a high pressure job on a work visa for example, but really it's fine if you're only in the county for a week or so, as you will certainly see improvement from such immersion.
If and when we learn slang and casual pronunciation should be directly tailored to our goals, interests and how we learn personally.
Comment on your skills:
I loved the way you say "Juancito" proofing your wielding of Spanish from America! Any person with minimums of Spanish level or basic knowledge only would have said "Juanito" instead!
Great @carokowanzenglish
Excuse me, what is it mean? Is it the name of that guy? I just started to learn Spanish, I do love this language
This is why I make my OWN coffee at home
intresting fact! starbucks spell our names wrong on purpose so we would post about it so people would see how theyre names would look like so that basically means were sponsoring them😅
Поэтому, даже когда санкции уберут, я никогда не пойду в этот ваш Старбакс. Хитрый маркетинг меня раздражает, особенно то что вы указали.
tbh sometimes we genuinely cant understand what u said/dont know how to spell and we dont have time to gaf about that when theres a rush going on
Interesting fact! I'm a former sbux barista and this is a common myth! At least in my experience, it often just LOUD and BUSY and im dyslexic. I promise your average barista doesnt care enough to push some stupidly specific marketing scheme, let alone one intended to intentionally anger customers. No manager or shift leader has EVER told me to do that, and I worked w them for 4+ years. Just my experience tho
A barista wrote my name as Peth
This is so funny and perfect characterisation... Can't stop watching 😂😂
She is so sweet.🫠🫰✨
I want drip 😂
Sometimes the barista gets very confused
I think every place that sells coffee should have something on the menu as a standardized "coffee." I do enjoy customized drinks, but I feel like a large number of people I know don't want anything to do with that, and just want simplicity
If the waitress were an angel, there would never be such communicational issues ... 😅😂🤣 bravo to all English learners... (including me - myself) 😅🤭
That's why introverts don't prefer such places... they'll enjoy homemade coffeeeee ☕🙂
True. Aeropress changed my life!
😂😂😂😂 amazing conversation 😂hhhhhh. initially after thankyou it was really a great sentence. 😂
Me gusta esta mujer lo que hace y como lo edita.
At least it’s free, she never said the price 🗿
She said 1usd
Hah?
VALES BURGUER SI DIJO EO PRECIO 😂
10.50 is not a price???
As an Italian I'm so confused by the "Grande / Venti" sizes.
"Grande" in Italian literally means "BIG", "Venti" can both mean "Twenty" or "Winds", depending on the accent on the E.
I would be so confused in a situation like this, which one is like regular/normal size? lol
Tall = pequeño, Grande = Mediano y Venti = Grande.
I can’t stop laughing 😆
She is so funny and the same time adorable 🥰
Стереотипная буфетчица из любой советской столовой
Да нет, ты просто не работал в сфере обслуживания и не понимаешь как порой бариста устают от работы с людьми, оттого и кажутся неприветливыми хамами!
It took her 6 attempts to figure out how to communicate with this customer. The service is top notch!
It took the customer 6 times to know how ordering works
@@sweetsunnyvibesmore like she couldnt, cuz it isnt even her native language
Do you want it authorized??
Excusez-moi quoi??? 😂
notorized please
Jargon makes people feel holier, that’s why they keep inventing and spreading them
