Hey guys it’s Shane from English Understood here.
One of the best ways to learn English is to learn answers to common phrases that you will hear all the time.
So let’s pretend today you go into a coffee shop and the person at the counter says to you ‘What can I getcha?’ What can I getcha?
This means ‘What can I get for you?’ What would you like to drink?
What would you say to him?
Let’s pretend you want a green tea. What could you say?
Three common ways you could ask for a green tea are ‘Could I have a green tea, please?’ Could I have a green tea, please?
I’d like a green tea, please.
Or ‘I’ll have a green tea, please.’ I’ll have a green tea, please.
These are all very polite phrases to ask for something or to order something at a restaurant or a cafe.
So the next time you go to a cafe or a restaurant, try one of these phrases. And that is the end of the lesson today. So comment down below and tell me what’s your favorite drink to order at a cafe.
