You are both great teachers. This lesson is so useful to me. Sometimes I go out to eat, but it is very hard to order or ask for something. Thank you so much!
Thanks Kat and Mark, great list of usefull expressions to go out. In my particular case, the restaurant set was the most difficult for me to ccommunicate in english. This class is awesome. Best regards.
We are really proud to hear that you find our videos helpful and that they have contributed to your progress in English. Your dedication and feedback mean a lot to us!
i finished today's task i set a goal for me to watch your podcast everyday .this lesson is a bit easier for me . but if i am in this situation i will forget how to speak😊.they are all very useful expressions .many thanks
Keep up the great work! These phrases classes are great for pronunciation and mimicking as well to help your fluency. Have a lovely day thanks so much for joining us!
This is a very useful one ❤❤ My favourite questions : could i swap the fries for salad ? Would you mind wiping down the table? Are there any tables free? Could i take this to go? We're waiting on two more people. Could we get an extra seat please? Could i have this dish without onions? Do you have a kids menu? Could we have a table by the window? are there any lunch specials? What's on the pizza? What's in this dish? What is in the sampler platter ? Can we get some bread to start? How spicy is it? I'm full to order anything else, thanks . ❤❤ That's too much to be learnt 💓
Both of you are such great teachers. I do like this channel and all of the episodes are useful for my learning journey. Thanks a million for incredible lessons.
I love your lessons so much. I listen them (or watch) everywhere! I have a question; what's the difference between "can I get some..." and "can I have some..."? Thanks in advance
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! :) In regards to your question, both phrases are correct and appropriate. I would use the question especially if I want some extra things, like napkins, bread, sauce, chopsticks and so on. "Can I get some more napkins?" = "Can I have some more napkins?" "Can I get some more bread?" = "Can I have some more bread?" Hope that makes sense! :)
Thanks a lot ❤❤ the contect is super useful .. i also picked up some new verbs like swap , wipe . And i have a question please (Could we get some waters for the table? ) Why put " s" for the water?
Great to hear! We're super glad the episode was helpful! Usually "water" is uncountable. For example: "There [is] lots of water on the floor, be careful." BUT, when we go to restaurants, coffee shops, or anywhere where we order food from a menu, you can use "waters" as a countable noun. - "Can I get 3 waters please." - "Can we get some waters for the table?" It also works for other usually uncountable liquids / drinks: - "Can I get 2 coffees please?" - "Can I get 3 beers please?" Hope that makes sense!
Glad you liked it! If you want to know the ingredients of the burger: what’s in the burger? If you want to know the sides (salad, fries, potatoes) what comes with the burger It’s a great way to get more info about the dish especially if you only eat certain foods ☺️
Hi Sophie! We mostly have videos around conversation but perhaps a good video on discussing the news would be helpful when talking to friends. Thanks for joining us!
With P, you’ll only feel air coming out, you can put a small piece of paper in front of your mouth and see it move. With B, you’ll feel a vibration in your throat, and you won’t move the paper. For more research you can look up voiced and voiceless sounds, hope that helps!
You're in luck! We've made videos about exactly that! ua-cam.com/video/ZSNL4Mbgew8/v-deo.html Check out this series of "Season 1 Review #1: Small Talk Dialogues and Practice"
We use "get" a lot in English, it's a very common casual word that has lots of different meanings but in this case: "could I get..." and "could I have..." mean the same thing when ordering food!
Hi, thank you for this lesson. I have a question. What is different “wait on” and “wait for”? In which situations we should use each? I thought that if some is late, I am waiting FOR them. Is it not correct? Thank you:)
Very good question! - Wait for: This phrase is used when you are staying in one place because you expect something to happen or someone to arrive. "I am waiting for the bus." (You are expecting the bus to arrive.) "If someone is late, I am waiting for them." (You are staying because you expect the person to arrive.) So in your sentence, "I am waiting for them" is correct if you are expecting someone to arrive. - Wait on: This phrase can mean to serve someone, especially in a restaurant or similar setting. "The waiter is waiting on the customers." (The waiter is serving the customers.) *AND* It can also mean to be delayed or to be waiting for something to happen before you can proceed. "I am waiting on the test results before making a decision." (You need the test results first before you can make a decision.) "We're still waiting on two people." (We need 2 more people before we can order food and start our meal) I hope this helps! 😊
Can I… ability is yes or no right now Could we often use in the future and it gives people more of a choice Could is considered more polite in English than can so it’s helpful to use it with workers and servers!
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, if you say: "We have a reservation [under the name 'Mark']." It means: "My reservation is for Mark." or "Mark made a reservation earlier." Dan arrives at the restaurant: "Hi, I have a reservation under the name 'Dan'." Maria arrives at the restaurant: "Hi, I have a reservation under the name 'Maria'." I hope that makes sense!
Thanks a lot teachers! I have a question My daughter lives in Dallas and when she orders at the restaurant she always says “ I’ll have … a salad or something else Is it right ? Can we order like that without saying “ could I have a…. Thanks for your answer
Hi good morning! Most of the time the answers come from the servers or wait staff at the restaurant, and a lot of the answers would be “yes, of course”! But hopefully we will do some practice dialogues soon.
Drinks is this case is an adjective for what kind of menu: a drink menu or a drinks menu A dessert menu or a desserts menu hope that helps! Thanks for sharing your comment!
@@highlevellistening thanks for answering. Yes , I was thinking that would be a case , though it is confusing somehow anyways :-) that's why asked. Thanks!
In the United States it’s very common to get free glasses of water or like you mentioned bottles of water for each person. Waters for the table: separate glasses or bottles Water for the table: maybe a pitcher or jar to share Thanks for asking great questions :)
Great question thanks for asking! It’s very common to get glasses of water at a restaurant and when ordering in spoken English we often say “can I get a water please, can we get two waters please” for separate glasses of water “Water for the table” would probably mean a jug or pitcher of water to share
Great question! You're right that water is usually uncountable. Like: - There [is] a lot of water on the floor, watch your step. But when we go to restaurants, especially in the USA, often all the *drinks* options on the menu are considered countable. Like: - Can I get [two waters] please? - Can I get [two coffees] please? - Can I get [some teas] please? Again, more commonly in the US, and I definitely hear native speaker Americans, including waiters, using this all the time!
You are both great teachers. This lesson is so useful to me. Sometimes I go out to eat, but it is very hard to order or ask for something. Thank you so much!
We’re really glad that you found it useful! We use these phrases every day and now you can feel more confident out at restaurants 😄

Today also I learned more useful phrases
My favorite one is
What does the burger come with?
Because I'm pollotarian😁😁
Glad you liked it!
If you want to know the ingredients of the burger: what’s in the burger?
If you want to know the sides (salad, fries, potatoes) what comes with the burger
It’s a great way to get more info about the dish especially if you only eat certain foods ☺️
Thank you🙆🏻🙆🏻🙆🏻
Очень очень нужные фразы. ☀️☀️☀️
It's true! We use them all the time in English!
我喜欢这个节目有英音美音对比，还有对话都非常日常而且实用。
Thank you so much for joining us! Yes, we both work hard to share each accent, I hope you learned a lot!
You're both beautiful(هەردوکتان جوان)🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
😌😌😌 you are so kind thank you
thanks for all the vedios ,i would like to see more topics about thecnologie and politics wich allow us to understand the news ,thanks
Hi Sophie! We mostly have videos around conversation but perhaps a good video on discussing the news would be helpful when talking to friends. Thanks for joining us!
Fantastic work. If possible, I would like to suggest pointing out the different pronunciation between P and B in words and sentences.
With P, you’ll only feel air coming out, you can put a small piece of paper in front of your mouth and see it move.
With B, you’ll feel a vibration in your throat, and you won’t move the paper.
For more research you can look up voiced and voiceless sounds, hope that helps!
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! You did good job. I could have a table in Savoy.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for your teaching style, but I need native Americans speaking about reduced words.
Enjoy your time.
You're in luck! We've made videos about exactly that! ua-cam.com/video/ZSNL4Mbgew8/v-deo.html Check out this series of "Season 1 Review #1: Small Talk Dialogues and Practice"
Thanks a lot for useful episode. I'm still wondering if there is the difference of "Could I GET~" and "Could I HAVE~"
We use "get" a lot in English, it's a very common casual word that has lots of different meanings but in this case: "could I get..." and "could I have..." mean the same thing when ordering food!
Hi, thank you for this lesson.
I have a question.
What is different “wait on” and “wait for”? In which situations we should use each?
I thought that if some is late, I am waiting FOR them. Is it not correct?
Thank you:)
Very good question!
- Wait for:
This phrase is used when you are staying in one place because you expect something to happen or someone to arrive.
"I am waiting for the bus." (You are expecting the bus to arrive.)
"If someone is late, I am waiting for them." (You are staying because you expect the person to arrive.)
So in your sentence, "I am waiting for them" is correct if you are expecting someone to arrive.
- Wait on:
This phrase can mean to serve someone, especially in a restaurant or similar setting.
"The waiter is waiting on the customers." (The waiter is serving the customers.)
*AND* It can also mean to be delayed or to be waiting for something to happen before you can proceed.
"I am waiting on the test results before making a decision." (You need the test results first before you can make a decision.)
"We're still waiting on two people." (We need 2 more people before we can order food and start our meal)
I hope this helps! 😊
@@highlevellistening Thank you! I got it!
I loved the question
what does your snack come with ?
It really helps! Thanks for watching!
❤❤
🤩🤩
Hi. Could i.....? Can i.....? What's the difference? And when to use both? Thanks a lot.
Can I… ability is yes or no right now
Could we often use in the future and it gives people more of a choice
Could is considered more polite in English than can so it’s helpful to use it with workers and servers!
1. Could I have a sauce on the side please?
2. Could we get another round drinks please?
For me, these two are new. Thank you for your wonderful job.
Thank you so much for your hard work! I'm glad you liked the new sentences!
I love that. But why is the answer under de name ? For a reservation at the table ?
So glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, if you say: "We have a reservation [under the name 'Mark']."
It means: "My reservation is for Mark." or "Mark made a reservation earlier."
Dan arrives at the restaurant: "Hi, I have a reservation under the name 'Dan'."
Maria arrives at the restaurant: "Hi, I have a reservation under the name 'Maria'."
I hope that makes sense!
Can I have the menú for your next podcast please?
😉😉😉 here you are, we’ll see you soon for a brand new video
Thanks a lot teachers! I have a question
My daughter lives in Dallas and when she orders at the restaurant she always says “ I’ll have … a salad or something else
Is it right ? Can we order like that without saying “ could I have a….
Thanks for your answer
Yes absolutely! Could I get a… and I’ll have a… I’ll take a… I’ll get a… are commonly used to order ✅✅✅
Thanks ! Have a nice day
Please tell me is there episodes about “at the airport and at the hotel?” 🎉
Not yet! But those would be some great topics! ☺️
My favorite phrases are "What does something come with?" and "I have a reservation for six under the last name, Mark."
Great! Those are very useful phrases when eating out at a restaurant. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for practicing with us today!
🎉🎉
☀️☀️☀️
Hi. " is there a wait for a table. " sounds like you drop the "t"? If it is? When should we drop the "t"? Thanks.
It’s true! It’s pretty common to drop the t at the end of words.
I can’t go.
I don’t want that. (3 words!) it’s very light
I suggest you ask & answer at the same time .And it would be better if you give more than one answer.thanks a bunch
Hi good morning! Most of the time the answers come from the servers or wait staff at the restaurant, and a lot of the answers would be “yes, of course”! But hopefully we will do some practice dialogues soon.
For me new was " sampler platter".
In the question "do you have a drinks menu" why is used " a" before plural form?
Drinks is this case is an adjective for what kind of menu: a drink menu or a drinks menu
A dessert menu or a desserts menu hope that helps! Thanks for sharing your comment!
@@highlevellistening thanks for answering. Yes , I was thinking that would be a case , though it is confusing somehow anyways :-) that's why asked. Thanks!
سلام وقتتون بخیر ممنونم خیلی عالی بودلطفاهمزمان باسوالات پاسخش هم بدیدباتشکر
Thanks! We'll do some more videos with dialogues in the future with both questions and responses :) Keep practicing!
🎉
Thanks for joining us!
Could we get some waters for the tables please?
1. Waters?
2. You mean that servers should take some bottles of water from the table?
In the United States it’s very common to get free glasses of water or like you mentioned bottles of water for each person.
Waters for the table: separate glasses or bottles
Water for the table: maybe a pitcher or jar to share
Thanks for asking great questions :)
Thank you so much but in myside i can't to speak
Keep practicing and mimicking after us, it will get easier and easier, keep up the good work!
11:07 Haha, her face 😂😂😂... Next time, I want him to say "a bottle of water."😬
Baw-uhl o’ wah’uh 😂😂😂 always practicing at High Level Listening!
good morning; why should we use the plural for WATER then it's uncountable water 's)
Great question thanks for asking!
It’s very common to get glasses of
water at a restaurant and when ordering in spoken English we often say “can I get a water please, can we get two waters please” for separate glasses of water
“Water for the table” would probably mean a jug or pitcher of water to share
Why water is used in plural forms waters? I can't understand this point. Could you please explain This to me?
Great question!
You're right that water is usually uncountable. Like:
- There [is] a lot of water on the floor, watch your step.
But when we go to restaurants, especially in the USA, often all the *drinks* options on the menu are considered countable. Like:
- Can I get [two waters] please?
- Can I get [two coffees] please?
- Can I get [some teas] please?
Again, more commonly in the US, and I definitely hear native speaker Americans, including waiters, using this all the time!
We are waiting on two more people. Could we use -We are waiting for two more people?Thanks❤
Yes! Waiting on and waiting for would be the same here ☺️
Thanks!
Hi Ken! Really happy to have you here this morning, thanks so much for your kindness and generosity ☺️ have a wonderful day!
