Welcome friends! I am Karim, and with me is my friend Layla.
Welcome everyone! I am Layla, and I am very happy to meet you.
Hello Layla! How was your day today?
My day was long and full of work. And how was your day?
I worked a lot too. And now, I am very hungry!
Hahaha, you are always hungry Karim! Do you want us to eat together?
Yes with pleasure! I want us to have dinner in a nice restaurant.
A great idea! Today we talk about having dinner at a restaurant.
This is an important daily topic. Everyone needs it in their life.
Today we learn together six very useful phrases.
The first phrase is: A table for two.
And the second phrase is: The food menu.
And the third is: I want to order.
And the fourth is: The food is delicious.
And the fifth is: Everything is excellent.
And the sixth is: The bill, please.
These phrases are very easy. We always use them in every restaurant.
You hear these words in every Arab country.
I am excited to try these phrases in a real restaurant.
And I am excited too! Let's go together.
Now we start our fun journey to the restaurant friends!
Come with us so we enter the restaurant now.
We have arrived now at this elegant and beautiful restaurant.
This restaurant is very wonderful. Its lights are warm and its music is calm.
I see the restaurant host standing at the entrance with a smile.
What do we say to him when we enter Karim?
We say to him politely: Good evening, a table for two please.
A polite and wonderful phrase! A table for two means a place for two only.
If you are with a friend, you ask for a table for two.
The host welcomes us and says: Welcome, please follow me.
Thank you! There are many tables in this dining room.
Where do you like us to sit Karim?
I prefer a table close to the kitchen so I smell the aromas!
Hahaha, no Karim! There is a lot of movement and noise there.
And what is your opinion Layla?
I prefer a quiet table near this large window.
From the window we see the green garden and the city lights.
Yes, this place is very comfortable for talking and dinner.
You are right, this table near the window is better.
We sat down now on soft and comfortable chairs.
And now I want to know what food is available.
Come let us ask the waiter for the food menu now.
We are seated now, but we do not know the prices and dishes.
We need the sheet that has all the foods and drinks.
How do we ask the waiter for this sheet Layla?
We say to him gently: I want the food menu please.
The food menu is the list that includes all the meals.
It means the menu in English Karim.
The waiter comes with a smile and gives us the food menu.
Thank you very much! We open the menu and read the existing options.
There is lentil soup here, grilled chicken, and delicious rice.
And there are also fresh green salads and warm bread.
I am ready! I want to order all these dishes!
Hahaha, slow down a bit! This is too much food for two.
The phrase "I want to order" we say to the waiter when choosing.
Correct, you simply say: I want to order a warm soup.
I start with hot lentil soup with lemon.
And I want a green salad with olive oil and cheese.
And what about the main dish Layla?
We order a grilled chicken dish with rice to share.
A wonderful idea, sharing food makes dinner nicer.
The waiter stands near our table and listens to us.
I say to him: I want to order these dishes please.
The waiter records our order and says: Fifteen minutes only.
We wait now with great happiness for the hot food to arrive!
Come let us see how we eat the food and ask for the bill.
The hot food has arrived now at our table!
The food smells very good, and the presentation of dishes is beautiful.
I am eating a spoonful of warm soup now.
How do you find the taste of the soup Karim?
Layla, this food is very delicious!
The phrase "the food is delicious" means the food is tasty and enjoyable.
We say the food is delicious to thank the cook and restaurant.
The grilled chicken is tender, and the hot bread is extremely tasty.
We eat and talk with great happiness and calm.
The waiter comes and asks us: Is dinner good for you?
I smile and say to him: Thank you, everything is excellent.
The phrase "everything is excellent" means we are very satisfied.
It means the service and food are in the best condition.
The waiter is very pleased and says: Bon appétit.
We ate everything, and now I am completely full!
It was truly a wonderful dinner. And now we get ready to leave.
Before we leave, we need to pay the price of dinner.
How do you ask the waiter for the bill Karim?
I raise my hand politely and say: The bill, please.
This is the main phrase in our lesson today!
We say the bill please to pay the money before leaving.
It means the bill please in the English language.
I am paying the bill for this delicious dinner today!
Thank you Karim! You are always a good and generous friend.
Hahaha, you deserve all the best Layla.
Now we finished dinner, and we start the fun quiz section.
I am ready for all the questions, let's test our knowledge!
Welcome to the quick quiz and practice section!
I am ready to answer all the situations Layla.
First question: You entered the restaurant with a friend, what do you say to the waiter?
I say to him clearly: A table for two please.
Well done Karim! A correct and excellent answer.
I am excited for the second question, what is it?
Second question: You sat at the table and want to know the dishes, what do you ask for?
I say to the waiter politely: I want the food menu please.
Very correct! This is a simple and polite request.
And how is the third question Layla?
Third question: The waiter came and you knew what you eat, what do you say?
I say to him with confidence: I am ready, I want to order now.
Extremely wonderful! An accurate and direct answer.
I love these situations, bring the fourth question!
Fourth question: You started eating and found the taste good, what do you say?
I smile and say to my friend: This food is very delicious!
Excellent Karim! A beautiful sentence that pleases everyone.
And what about the fifth question?
Fifth question: The waiter asked you about your opinion on service and food, how do you answer?
I answer him happily: Thank you, everything is excellent.
A complete answer expressing thanks and satisfaction!
And now we reach the last question in the quiz.
Sixth question: You finished eating and want to pay money, what do you say?
I say to the waiter: The bill, please.
What a champion! Six out of six, all your answers are correct!
Thank you Layla! It was a fun and easy quiz.
Come let us do a comprehensive review of all phrases now.
We reach now the quick and useful review section.
We review together the six phrases that we learned today.
The first phrase: A table for two.
We ask with it for a seating place upon entering the restaurant.
The second phrase: The food menu.
It is the sheet in which we read the names of dishes.
The third phrase: I want to order.
We say it when we are ready to choose food.

And now we move to the daily challenge for our friends!

Raise your hand politely and say with us: The bill, please!
Repeat it a second time with a clear voice: The bill, please!
Very well done! You are capable of speaking with confidence.

Goodbye my friends, in the care of God!
