How do you order food at a restaurant in English? Here are four common phrases that will build your confidence and give you the skills necessary to survive in an English speaking environment. If you’re living in an English area, or if you’re traveling, you must watch this lesson.
Thanks for the lesson!! I’m from Chile and I’ve always had problems with this topic, even if it seems to be very simple spanish speakers like me usually have problems with it. But now I think I’ll do it great when ordering food at a restaurant. Thank you.

Hi Alex, and thanks for the great lesson.
Even though I’m a native speaker of English, I still have problems quoting the words in “the air” while speaking to people. I’ve heard they call it “Air-quoting” or something, when we’re being sarcastic, so yea, uhm, I think it would be nice and helpful to many students, including native speakers like me, if you do a lesson on “Air-quoting stuff when we speak” … I appreciate that, thanks a lot.
Interesting suggestion. I will keep it in mind. Would anyone else like to see this lesson?
yes plz Mr.Alex! :)
Yes brother :)
yes,please sir
yes, please =)
Hi Alex
Actually , my question wouldn’t be about this video , but I’am eager to ask you about an easy way to memorise the use of The Perfect Tenses , I already have the rules and I learned them hundreds of times , but whenever I write something in English , or when speaking , I forget to use the perfect tenses ,especially the Present perfect , so if you like , do me a favour and make us a video about an easy way to memorise Perfect Tenses , or send me an E-mail containing the reply , And Thanks in advance Alex :)
it is good for every one how to deal with the people when he goes to restaurant.
thanks
As I told you, everytime that I in here, I always find a good grammar and for me it’s good.
One more time, thanks for all.
thnx teacher about your information

Thanks. I think I need more english lessons to score all correct.
Thanks:)
thank u alex

Thanks Alex
Thank you Alex
Hi Alex, thank you! Nice tips!
I have a doubt.
“you must protect your child, you’re responsable for them”
In this phrase is correct use “them” when we don’t know if we are talking about a male or a female?
Technically, you should say “you’re responsible for him or her” because “child” is singular, but “them” is much more practical and useful in this case. Your sentence is fine.
i love your way to teaching.
Thanks Alex!!!! very good class!!!!
Hi Alex! thanks for this class,very interesting!
thanks for, you ,thanks for all teachers
we should learn English because English is the best language all over the world and English language is my best hobby in my mind
thank you very much for the lesson!
I’m from Brazil and I’m beginner student, but I understand your lesson!
One more time, thanks for all
Thanks
Please. I´ll have a great english class with Alex.
hi alex .you teaching very good.I like to study in your class.can i study?
what is the best way to order food and take it home ?
to go
take away
or take out
If you’re in the UK, “take away”; in North America, “to go” or “take out” both work!
Very usefull
I want to know which one correct?
1)I don’t have a MAC computer.
2)I haven’t a MAC computer.
Thank you!
The first one. The second one sounds very formal, and is not used today.
“Do you accept?” is polite English or not?
I use to talking with customer?
Do you accept what? It depends on the context. If you are a customer, you can ask the cashier “do you accept credit?” or something similar.
Thanks Alex, this video is fantastic and is very clear and easy
Dear teachers, did you know that The Speed Of Light is not the fastest velocity? Scientists have discovered particles called neutrons which are faster than Light. The scientist Nikola Tesla knew it before 80 years, he said: “All of my investigations seem to point to the conclusion that they are small particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons. They move with great velocity, exceeding that of light.” I know this doesn’t have anything to do with your lesson, but I just wanted to tell you, in case you didn’t hear this. Nikola Tesla, the greatest brain ever :)

Hi, Alex. Thank you I want to know what is the difference between million and millions ? When can I say million and when can i say millions? please e-mail me to know the answer. thank U in advance.
A million is singular, and millions is plural. For example, “A vacation like that would cost a million dollars!” is much different than “A vacation like that would cost millions of dollars!” (many millions)
However, when you know the exact value, just say it…like “two million,” “three million,” “one million,” etc.
Hello Alex,
Could you please tell me the differences between asking questions with: which – what?
Thank you very much indeed and wish you good health to produce more extremely useful lessons
Thanks alot Mr. Alex.
But I have a question for you, that you wrote this item ( a coffee ) and as I know that the coffee is a liquid and we cann’t use a or an with liquids.

In the quiz question – “Hmm. I think __________ the chicken alfredo.” what is wrong in using “I’d have” here?
You’re using the past tense, or a conditional if you used “I’d have” in this case. I suppose you COULD use it if you were saying something like, “If I had the money, I think I’d have,” but it’s not a common situation.
Got it.Thanks for the reply.
Now tell me if the following sentence is correct or not?
“If you haven’t replied then I would have never understood this.”
In the above sentence I am doubtful about “haven’t”.What if I used “hadn’t/wasn’t/won’t”.I am not getting the difference here.
“If you hadn’t replied…” is the correct sentence here. You need to use the past perfect form, because you’re talking about the past in the past.
“hadn’t” is used with the past perfect, and needs a past participle after it.
“wasn’t” is used with the simple past. It’s just the verb “to be” in the past.
“won’t” is the negative of “will.” It is used with the simple future.
thank you very match teacher alex

Hi Alex, I don´t know if somebody else pointed this out by now; When it comes to food, you don´t say “take” but “have” do you? Take is used with medicine.
thanks Alex, it’s a useful topic
thank you ,i from china.
THANKS ALEX EVERY BODY CAN LEARN ENGLISH EASLY.
USING THIS VIDEOS
Thank you so much Alex , good teacher
you the best
Thank you Alex!
thank’ alex.
Thank you teacher.
Thanks so much the teacher sent by me.Do you mind asking you about a turkey sandwich,why t in turkey is small letter.Whereas it is a nationality adj.
In English, “Turkey” is the country, but “turkey” is a bird and also the meat of that bird.
u re teacher who i love more than others..ur voice really very good,and i can understand everything
yes me too!!
Air-quoting – I’d enjoy so much seeing a lesson on this subject too, for I’ve never heard about this.

Alex,

Fantastic. Thanks
thanks Alex.you teach very clearly.
tnx alex. i like your lessons.
I just wanna say thank’s ’cause I found this site..you know why, I really want to learn more about English language..and yes…I got this… and I know that this gonna be helpful for me..please correct my grammar if it is wrong.. and I’m willing to accept that..thank’s a lot..more power..
You are clearly very fluent in spoken and written English but it is important to be correct and grammatical when you are writing.
“Wanna”, “gonna” and “’cause” are not acceptable contractions in written English. You must write “want to” “going to” and “because” in full. Apostrophy s (‘s) indicates possession or elision; “thanks ” is the plural form of thank.
i like your teaching style . thanks you alex
can you explain me these phrasal verbs
ask after
ask for
break down
break in
break off
break out
thanks alex ,you’re the best teacher ever!
