Eating in a restaurant can be a fun thing to do with friends, but if you are just learning English all the new words can be confusing. Watch and learn what an appetizer is and how to change your order, and before you know it you will be fine dining with the best of them.
I’m believed the first one or early bird to comment .TIPs is required by law even the service is very poor?
cuongchung1
I got 7 correct out of 10. I also think No.8 question’s answer is incorrect. Your worm waiter is cute :)
Thank you, James.
Happy04
I solved 10 Question correct .give me 8 only correct !!
mohamed. osama
#8 the answer is wrong, isn´t food to homeless, is like a pack
dante74
I got 8. Not bad for a beginner.
Axsujo
come on !
joeliu
That was a great class, James! Your classes are always fun. I had so much trouble with tips in the U.S! I never knew the proper way of paying them… leaving them on the table? Paying them to the cashier? I was giggling here when you talked about leaving coins. A friend of mine told me that it was rude. I didn’t know.
marcelacandrade
Would you like have some appetizer, Mr.James? That draw of waiter looks so funny, XD
ゞ(≧▽≦*)o
Prix Fixe : a free meal for homeless people????!!!
Fix that please, teacher James!!! Your lesson is so helpful!! I really enjoyed learning about useful vocabulary for restaurants!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!
Libertad
Very good lesson thank dear sir JAMES!
WISH YOU A VERY GOOD DAY AHEAD!

Basic Vocabulary for Shopping for example, I have spent 2 weeks to watch it since its released day. Hopefully James teacher will submit more videos like these.

Abdul Majeed
really funny teacher,,and you drew the waiter looks like a snake LOL
Risma08
Thank you for lesson , really useful words and sentences. Can I say ‘idioms’ in this context ? Have a good day !
vlelena
Yeah, it must be a programming error with prix fixe.
Now, I know that as a sophisticated english man that you are, you would not end your meal with dessert and coffee, but with a table of cheeses and some brandy instead. I’ve been a waiter in central London time ago and I also know about tipping habits. Brits are not the worst, germans spanish, italians ……. not tipping culture.
Nice lesson mate, well done.
carlos
what??? i dont know what kind of spanish you are talking about but in Andalucia everybody gives tips!!!well maybe not 20% but anyways we tip!!!!
arantxa
Thanks Jame for teaching.I got 8 correct out of 10.I think you made mistake about No.8 questaion’s answer.prix fixe is appetizer(starter),main course,dessert all together for one price.
zeinali.mehdi
The question №8 is incorrect…
Thank you,the lesson is really interesting and useful!
lunatali2
Hello James, thanks for your time to teach us English. For me, you talk a little bit fast. thanks again
SIAVOSH
Hi cuong ta! I agree about 8th question . However it’s a great lesson! James is always so much fun! :)
dorycam
Hi James, I am an American ELS teacher currently working in China. Loved this lesson (and several others!As teachers we sometimes struggle with fresh and creative ways to present material or breath life into tired lessons. Thanks for waking up my inner artist and providing a fresh perspective!
kristent
hi,where at you staying ?
joeliu
What does is mean to “substitute” something in a meal?
*** Hello Engvid there’s a typo mistake in this question. It’s not “is”, should be “it”.
lisa28
Thanks! Fixed.
engVid
Hi guys,
*
I got 9 out of 10, but I’m sure that the answer for the question below is wrong. The answer should be ” A special where you get your appetizer, main course, and dessert all included for one price.”, and not ” A free meal given to homeless people.”
*
*
*
What is “prix fixe”?
* French food with special prix sauce.
* A special where you get your appetizer, main course, and dessert all included for one price.
* A free meal given to homeless people.
lisa28
Hi lisa28,
I also got 9 out of 10,becouse of this Question.
so,it is becouse of mistake in their database.
Gagan1
Sorry, fixed now.
engVid
You’re cute, James and I love Mr.E.
lisa28
Good lesson.What makes Engvid is, they teach uptodate english.I am done with eating out now and so is everyone else.Appetizer or stater is new to make so is party of.Catch of the day is not exceptional.Thanks James.We should eat out while you have time,James and the bills is on me
Waligaa wax baro
correction.(stater is new to me) and also(what makes Engvid special is)
Waligaa wax baro
thank you so much :)

If you go to Mac Donald,and order a combo#3 and you tell the sale person,you want to order #3 prix fixe and I think they understand what you are talking about.

Hi, James. I got 100 points!, after that I read the comments of my classmates about the eight question, then I write a 100 on my record!. Hahahaha A funny class with a fun teacher!.
polo1954
Dear James. Thanks a lot for this video.
I went with my wife to a Chinese restaurant in Jakarta. After we asked for the bill, we checked the bill. I saw all the food we ate and to my surprise I saw one of the food described as ‘kitchen food’. (I made a photo of it).
So could you maybe tell me what is kitchen food? Otherwise, I am very curious where the other food we ate had been prepared…
JakobN
I’m not sure, but maybe it’s a kind of normal, but good, food, made with everyday products which are used on the everyday cook.
claudio77
good lesson..thank you
audie38
it is very nice keep it
Abatu
Question 8 is mistake, but this lesson was excelent.
Maart
Hi James. Very useful lesson. It would be interesting that “prix fixe” be “a free meal for homeless people”! LOL.
You’re a great teacher, and maybe you already know what I’m gonna write, I guess it’ll help you remind: phonetically, “prix fixe” in French sounds “/pRi/ /fiks/. When “fixe” is an adjective, it sounds “/fiks/”, and when it is the past participle of the verb “fixer”, it sounds “/fikse/”. Thank you et bonne continuation :)

Hi James,
thank you for your lesson.
How many percent of the bill must be added if tax is not included?
Appropriate tip should be 10-20 % of the bill before tax of after?
British people don´t give tips only in North America of also in Britain? :-)

kevinfeng
hey James:
first of — your style is amazing!! just love it.
Even after few years in Canada now, I still find this site very, very useful — kudos to the whole team!
Now, to my question — it’s rather about site design, but I’d appreciate if you can answer — is there a way to track the lessons which one took? I find it rather inconvenient to scan through the whole list of video, and filter out the titles that I’ve already seen.
Search feature is great, but it doesn’t tell you whether you reviewed this video before or not.
Appreciate your comments.
Thanks so much for all you guys do!!!
engvidion
It’s one of the features we’d love to have when it’s time for a new site redesign!
engVid Moderator
Hi engvidion!. I was thinking the same thing…. I’m watching all the videos in order to learn as much as possible. But as you said, it’s a bit difficult to scan the lessons every time. So I give myself a “rule”, I chose the first teacher (Adam) on the list and I started watching all his beginners videos, then I continued with the following teacher and so on. Now I’m watching James’s beginners videos. The next is Jon. By the way , I hope to finish all beginners videos by the end of January…. I took my FCE last 2nd December. If I had started earlier by watching Engvid , I guess I could have a better mark. However I’ll get my mark in a few days. Right now I’m preparing my CAE wich I hope to take in a year….

An entree is a main dish! Entrees have more food and are more expensive than starters.

#8 the answer is wrong, isn´t food to homeless, is like a pack

really funny teacher,,and you drew the waiter looks like a snake LOL
Thank you for lesson , really useful words and sentences. Can I say ‘idioms’ in this context ? Have a good day !
Yeah, it must be a programming error with prix fixe.
Now, I know that as a sophisticated english man that you are, you would not end your meal with dessert and coffee, but with a table of cheeses and some brandy instead. I’ve been a waiter in central London time ago and I also know about tipping habits. Brits are not the worst, germans spanish, italians ……. not tipping culture.
Nice lesson mate, well done.
what??? i dont know what kind of spanish you are talking about but in Andalucia everybody gives tips!!!well maybe not 20% but anyways we tip!!!!
Thanks Jame for teaching.I got 8 correct out of 10.I think you made mistake about No.8 questaion’s answer.prix fixe is appetizer(starter),main course,dessert all together for one price.
The question №8 is incorrect…
Thank you,the lesson is really interesting and useful!
Hello James, thanks for your time to teach us English. For me, you talk a little bit fast. thanks again
Hi cuong ta! I agree about 8th question . However it’s a great lesson! James is always so much fun! :)
Hi James, I am an American ELS teacher currently working in China. Loved this lesson (and several others!As teachers we sometimes struggle with fresh and creative ways to present material or breath life into tired lessons. Thanks for waking up my inner artist and providing a fresh perspective!
hi,where at you staying ?
What does is mean to “substitute” something in a meal?
*** Hello Engvid there’s a typo mistake in this question. It’s not “is”, should be “it”.
Thanks! Fixed.
Hi guys,
*
I got 9 out of 10, but I’m sure that the answer for the question below is wrong. The answer should be ” A special where you get your appetizer, main course, and dessert all included for one price.”, and not ” A free meal given to homeless people.”
*
*
*
What is “prix fixe”?
* French food with special prix sauce.
* A special where you get your appetizer, main course, and dessert all included for one price.
* A free meal given to homeless people.
Hi lisa28,
I also got 9 out of 10,becouse of this Question.
so,it is becouse of mistake in their database.
Sorry, fixed now.
You’re cute, James and I love Mr.E.
Good lesson.What makes Engvid is, they teach uptodate english.I am done with eating out now and so is everyone else.Appetizer or stater is new to make so is party of.Catch of the day is not exceptional.Thanks James.We should eat out while you have time,James and the bills is on me
correction.(stater is new to me) and also(what makes Engvid special is)
thank you so much :)
Hi, Mr. James, I like your way of teaching and thanks alot for these valuable information, by the way I’m from Saudi Arabia and we would like you to visit us one day to have our special dessert in the middle of the desert. :)
cool, Thanks James
Thanks James
Thanks!!!!!
If you go to Mac Donald,and order a combo#3 and you tell the sale person,you want to order #3 prix fixe and I think they understand what you are talking about.
Hi, James. I got 100 points!, after that I read the comments of my classmates about the eight question, then I write a 100 on my record!. Hahahaha A funny class with a fun teacher!.
Dear James. Thanks a lot for this video.
I went with my wife to a Chinese restaurant in Jakarta. After we asked for the bill, we checked the bill. I saw all the food we ate and to my surprise I saw one of the food described as ‘kitchen food’. (I made a photo of it).
So could you maybe tell me what is kitchen food? Otherwise, I am very curious where the other food we ate had been prepared…
I’m not sure, but maybe it’s a kind of normal, but good, food, made with everyday products which are used on the everyday cook.
good lesson..thank you
it is very nice keep it
Question 8 is mistake, but this lesson was excelent.
Hi James. Very useful lesson. It would be interesting that “prix fixe” be “a free meal for homeless people”! LOL.
You’re a great teacher, and maybe you already know what I’m gonna write, I guess it’ll help you remind: phonetically, “prix fixe” in French sounds “/pRi/ /fiks/. When “fixe” is an adjective, it sounds “/fiks/”, and when it is the past participle of the verb “fixer”, it sounds “/fikse/”. Thank you et bonne continuation :)
James,
great points about an useful knowledge!
Thank you
Hey it was great lesson. thank you
i like your way in teaching. keep it up man.
Nice James! You’re wonderful.
Thanks James.but I think NO.8 is wrong.
That class was wonderful.
Thank you James, I got 8/10!!!
Yes, I think there is an error in the #8 answer, but I agree, it is a a great lesson.
thanks alot

How many percent of the bill must be added if tax is not included?
Appropriate tip should be 10-20 % of the bill before tax of after?
British people don´t give tips only in North America of also in Britain? :-)

Hello James, I’m new in the engvid and I liked very much your class
I went to USA one year ago and in the beggining that I was there I had some difficulties at the restaurants…
Regards
thanks so much . i got 10/10
Hi James I am learning a lot .
Hi. It’s very good that you learn a lot! Best regards.
But u never ans to my question why???????????
Infact nobody ans why is this so ????? Because I am from India I guess. U give more prefrence to other country students…………
I got 8 correct :) Not bad :), this is first time i do online course
you should speak just a little bit slower while you’re explainin some expressions or giving examples,,Thanks
All correct! pretty good.
hey James:
first of — your style is amazing!! just love it.
Even after few years in Canada now, I still find this site very, very useful — kudos to the whole team!
Now, to my question — it’s rather about site design, but I’d appreciate if you can answer — is there a way to track the lessons which one took? I find it rather inconvenient to scan through the whole list of video, and filter out the titles that I’ve already seen.
Search feature is great, but it doesn’t tell you whether you reviewed this video before or not.
Appreciate your comments.
Thanks so much for all you guys do!!!
It’s one of the features we’d love to have when it’s time for a new site redesign!
Hi engvidion!. I was thinking the same thing…. I’m watching all the videos in order to learn as much as possible. But as you said, it’s a bit difficult to scan the lessons every time. So I give myself a “rule”, I chose the first teacher (Adam) on the list and I started watching all his beginners videos, then I continued with the following teacher and so on. Now I’m watching James’s beginners videos. The next is Jon. By the way , I hope to finish all beginners videos by the end of January…. I took my FCE last 2nd December. If I had started earlier by watching Engvid , I guess I could have a better mark. However I’ll get my mark in a few days. Right now I’m preparing my CAE wich I hope to take in a year….
*I gave…
*by watching all his…
correcting myself….
thank you
i got 10 out of 10!
Thanks James! I loved your class!
Oh, I forgot to ask a question in the comment above. What is ” entree”? Is it the same of “starter” Thank you!
An entree is a main dish! Entrees have more food and are more expensive than starters.
Thanks!!
tks u very much
I solved only 6 of 10 >> so sad
I got 8 out of 10
Thank you so much.
Cool love it! 100% great teacher
great teacher.. hope to learn more from you… although he speaks fast but not too fast, maybe i’m just too slow… hehehhe Thanks!
