responses but of course if you have another response please send your response in the chat I will try to check live and of course you can share ideas with the other people joining today's lesson live so I'm going to share today's lesson and then I'm going to begin today we're going to begin with questions about like making a decision like what you want to eat talking about the type of food you want to eat so first let's look at this one this is probably the most basic question that you can use here it's very straightforward and easy to understand what do you want to eat what do you want to eat at native speed this question sounds like what do you want to eat what do you want to eat so these connect right here these sounds what do you want to eat so not what do you want to eat but what do you want to eat so to respond to this question we can use very simple patterns we can say something like let's go - lets go - and then you follow with a restaurant like a restaurant name that's fine let's go to ABC restaurant or let's go to Taco Bell let's go to Burger King you can use a restaurant name here you can also change your preposition instead of let's go to plus a place you can change this to let's go for and then a cuisine so cuisine this word is pronounced cuisine cuisine so cuisine means like a specific regions food food from a specific region so like Italian are like Chinese so a type of food a category of food food from a country or food from a specific place a specific region so let's go for Italian let's go for Japanese so you can use go for both of these patterns but we change the preposition let's go to a place we're talking about movement or let's go for Italian so we don't say let's go to Italian we could say let's go to an Italian a place or an Italian restaurant that is okay but if you want to describe the cuisine use for let's go for this thing okay I don't see any question so let's continue to the next one so this is the basic the first most basic question what do you want to eat what do you want to eat second one what sounds good what sounds good this question is multi-purpose like that means you can use this question for situations outside food and dining for today we're using it for food so this means what food sounds good to you right now so in other words it means what do you want to eat what sounds good points this s sound many people forget to pronounce the S sound what sounds good what sounds good so at native speed this question sounds like what sounds good or what sounds good to you what sounds good to you so you can use this let's go pattern again or just use good in here what sounds good to you Italian what sounds good to you Chinese what sounds good to you Thai what sounds good to you you can also use a dish name here so you can use a cuisine or a dish a dish so dish here it's hard to see sorry dish D is H so to use a dish means to name a food so tacos or ramen or sushi or pasta for example what sounds good to you pasta what sounds good to you soup whatever sounds good to you you can use just the dish name here as well you don't need to make a full sentence just name the food you want to eat in response to this question you can also use this dish in response to what do you want to eat totally fine no problem there okay good some examples are coming in very nice Mexican food sounds good yeah you don't need to uh no way thanks for your example sentence it says the Mexican food sounds good you don't need to include the before the type of cuisine like Mexican food sounds good or Italian food sounds good so no article there okay other examples Abdallah on Facebook says how do I politely ask what do you want to eat sure so these are kind of casual everyday use questions to make this a little bit more polite you can say what would I'm sorry what would what would you like to eat what would you like to eat sorry hard to see what would you like to eat is a little more polite than what do you want to eat what would you like to eat at native speed it sounds like what would you like to eat okay let's go to the next question what do you feel like and I have eating here in parentheses what do you feel like because often we drop this eating so what do you feel like means like what sounds good the same meaning but it's focusing on your feeling so what do you feel like this isn't a question about your health or like your body condition it's asking about food in this case in this situation so sometimes people include eating like what do you feel like eating the reason I include this here is because sometimes we change the verb for example if we're not talking about food if we're talking about movies we might say what do you feel like watching something like that so we can change the verb here to like suit the situation for today's lesson what do you feel like eating not to eat what do you feel like to eat is incorrect what do you feel like eating what do you feel like eating so again we can use the same responses here let's go to or let's go for a cuisine or a dish ok ah then let's finish this part with one more question what are you in the mood for what are you in the mood for so again we're using this casual expression and yes you hear this ending with a preposition that's ok this is a very common expression what are you in the mood for again in this context in this situation we understand it's about food what are you in the mood for Italian what are you in the mood for someone says Moroccan food yeah nice example so these are a few ways to ask someone about their preferences and quick ways to respond so let's go to let's go for your cuisine name or a dish name it's a quick introduction part there all right I don't see any other questions yet masa hey masa on facebook says food or foods should this be singular or plural in this case which we're probably going to use food or probably going to use the singular food foods has some applications we use foods some in some specific situations like when we're talking about like foods from another country like specific types of dishes but for these questions you're probably going to use the singular form okay how do we answer the third question what do you feel like eating you can use all of these all of these can be used to answer all of these questions actually so what do you feel like eating oh let's go to that restaurant or let's go for I feel like I'm using Chinese a lot let's go for Chinese or like let's go for steak you can use all of these patterns to answer all of these questions yeah yeah okay that looks pretty good so let's take one quick break and then we'll go to part two for today all right let's take a look I chose the food related the food related PDF to show you if you have not checked the PDFs in the links below the video on YouTube or above the video on Facebook if you're watching on YouTube please check YouTube or Facebook there's new there are new PDFs I will show you this one first for food-related vocabulary there are three I chose this one is new this is the supermarket one this has vocabulary words for shopping at the supermarket so lots of nouns to practice here and then on the back you'll also find more vocabulary words but this part I think is interesting labels how to read like this label on food like the key words here this is a group of words you can study and this is for shopping so like discounts and making payment this is good for shopping in the supermarket but today today I'm focusing on like this topic though dining dining means eating out so champ is short for champion but these are expressions you can use at a rest Durrant these are vocabulary words you can use to finish the questions we talked about in part 1 so I'll show you more details of this a little bit later but if you want to get these and more please check the link below the video on youtube or above the video on Facebook you can download them for free with an account you need to make an account the account is free and then you can download these for free as well okay so let's continue to part two of today's lesson then if you're just joining today we're talking about quick responses to questions about food and eating at restaurants so let's continue if you have nots also please make sure to like and share the video so other people can find it let's go to part two part two is choosing a restaurant choosing a restaurant so now I want to talk about restaurant specific questions and answers so yes we talked a bit about restaurants and cuisine a little bit here I want for this part to focus on choosing restaurants so you're going out to eat somewhere in these questions you could use these at home like what do you want to eat you could be talking about food at home these questions are specifically about going to a restaurant so hints here where where do you want to go so meaning not here or where should we go for dinner where should we go for lunch so let's talk about how to answer a few ways to answer these one we can use this pattern we talked about in part 1 let's go to restaurant name or let's go for cuisine that is also okay if however you want to be a little more specific about like a feature or a characteristic of a restaurant you can use a pattern like this let's go someplace I'm sorry let's go someplace someplace or somewhere is also okay I'll include that here let's go someplace or let's go somewhere plus an adjective plus an adjective so this should be an adjective you can use to describe the restaurant so for example some very common ones let's go someplace cheap or let's go someplace fast or let's go someplace fancy hmm so if there's a specific like feeling you're looking for let's go someplace fun or let's go someplace casual you can use this pattern to reply so both of these questions where do you want to go and where should we go for meal can be answered with this pattern okay so this is one way to include like characteristics about a restaurant you want to go do okay another way to describe like the features like something you want inside the restaurant or some feeling about the restaurant is again starting with let's go let's go you can include two if you like let's go to a place that has let's go to a place that has so before we talked about an adjective yeah in this we're going to use a noun phrase let's go to a place that has noun phrase for example let's go to a place that has a nice view let's go to a place that has a nice view let's go to a place that has a special cocktail menu for example something special or something unique you want to describe about the restaurant you can use a noun phrase and you can introduce it with that has so let's go to a place you can also use let's go someplace or it let's go somewhere also perfectly fine they're all ok so some examples are coming in then some other good ideas at Gertrude is on youtube says let's go someplace romantic good ok and princess let's go someplace fancy no I'm broke good ok Wren says let's go to Italy restaurant clothes let's go to an Italian restaurant so Italy is the country name we need to use the form that describes the food Italian restaurant Italian restaurant you sander says let's go to a place that has Japanese food perfect Edgard says let's go to a place that has live music yes exactly nice examples that's great live music ok cool what else ah easy and fun English hello uh says shall we eat to a restaurant can we say that nope we cannot say shall we eat to a restaurant you could say shall we eat at a restaurant shall we eat at a restaurant but this sounds very formal instead we would probably say do you want to go to a restaurant do you want to go to a restaurant alright on Facebook bori says let's go to a place that has a special dessert menu dessert menu and make sure dessert has two S's two S's let's go to a place that has a special or a good for example a good dessert menu spelling point there dessert has two S's desert desert has one s small difference but other things don't see other example Lizette on facebook says let's go to a place that has a terrace nice perfect perfect perfect exactly very nice job okay resize that our research ok let's go to a place let's go to a place that has vegan food that has vegan food great good point vegan food or vegetarian food if you have special preferences for food ok nice Wow really good examples let's go to a place that has kabobs that's good I ate kebabs yesterday great very nice example is everybody ok um let's see we got about 10 minutes left so I will take one more break and then we'll go to the last part of today's lesson keep sending your examples I will try to check them a little after the break it takes a little time to get to us so while you send your examples I will share the other PDFs I showed you earlier I started to show you this one this dining one so this is today's focus is going out to a restaurant eating at a restaurant I wanted to show you yeah this guy on the back so this is again this is the dining one on the back right here on the back is there are three groups there kind of three categories and this is the one I was looking at table requests in the restaurant we're going to talk about ordering at the restaurant at the table in just a minute and we're also going to talk a little bit maybemaybe a little bit about commenting on food but if you want more expressions to practice going to a restaurant and to use when you're at the restaurant you can check out this one the dining like a champion PDF cheat sheet so you can check this out find this from the link below the video on youtube or above the video on Facebook okay some questions are coming in now I saw someone what does fancy mean gute says what does fancy mean fancy means some place where the the feeling of the restaurant is kind of expensive you should wear nice clothes and there's nice music and nice drinks and nice food it costs a lot of money see some place that is fancy in American English that's how we use fancy okay let's go to a place that has free parking and this one's that good really nice okay let's continue to part three of today's lesson than Judah says let's go to a place that has okay all right anyway let's go to the third part of today's lesson if you're just joining today we're doing quick response practice for questions about food and specifically going to restaurants how to respond quickly to those so the last part of today's lesson is ordering at a restaurant so these are very common questions when you get to the restaurant with your friend or whoever your family member your date and these are very common questions you can practice some responses to first what are you gonna get what are you gonna get gonna is the reduced form of going to so what are you going to get get so get means receive or what are you going to choose so we don't say what are you going to choose we say what are you gonna get what are you gonna get so that means you're looking at the menu and your friend asks you this question meaning what in other words what sounds good to you what are you gonna get what are you gonna get so to respond to this question specifically this question specifically I'm gonna get I'm sorry I'm gonna get plus the dish name I'm gonna get plus the dish name okay couple points a couple of points here one don't forget this mmm sound I hear many learners say I gonna it's not correct I am gonna reduces to I'm gonna I'm gonna so not I gonna I'm gonna get dish don't forget this get either we need that verb I'm going to get steak I'm going to get a salad I'm going to get shrimp whatever your dish is I'm gonna get this so this is a very easy way to express that this is a situation where you can use will like yeah I'll get this thing but because we've used going to in the question it sounds a little more natural to respond with going to so kind of matching the feel of the question what are you gonna get I'm gonna get no pizza okay blackout says can we use have instead of get like what are you gonna have make sure that's fine what are you gonna have that sounds fine what are you gonna have what are you gonna get also fine okay no problem uh other questions I'm gonna get lasagna says Lisette that sounds good actually I would I would like to get lasagna okay uh I'm gonna get ceviche yeah I had really good ceviche earlier this summer it was awesome all right let's continue to the next group of questions or rather the next pair of questions do you wanna get an appetizer here's a good maybe new word for some people appetizer appetizer a PP et ize aren't appetizer an appetizer is the small thing the small food that comes before your main dish in some restaurants so maybe it's like cheese and crackers or like tapas that kind of thing so do you wanna wanna is the reduced form of want to do you want to get an appetizer and we must include this article here and we use and because appetizer begins with a vowel sound do you want to get an appetizer so would you like to get an appetizer is what this question means so the answer to this is just yes or no yes or no that's it the short answer the short answer so respond with yes or sure usually yeah or sure or yes is great of course if not you can change this to man so I've written n 8h that's how we express man it's not as direct as no like no is quite direct so we might say nah instead so do you want to get an appetizer yeah sure that's great and then choose it let's get so after you agree let's get plus your dish let's get trip let's get uh what else is a good appetizer let's get a salad let's get cheese so small food small foods nice one control desk okay I don't know why oh okay TG Mac says no I don't want to get nothing okay a very casual response using the double negative they're good examples though so yes I want to get salad some people zing uh in French and appetizer is called entree or aperitif as well really yeah okay I don't know French sorry okay why does get have so many meanings because get is it it was a very exciting verb I guess there are so many different meanings so many different meanings it does have a lot of different meanings okay let's ah I wondered I don't think I have a verb video about get because get has many many meanings so it's hard to make one video about the verb get but yes it does have quite a lot I have made some whiteboard videos about it maybe they're not out yet okay let's go to the last point here the last one are you gonna get a drink are you gonna get a drink so we see here again this gonna gonna just as we saw here gonna this short form of going to are you gonna get a drink that's what a native person a native speaker its are you going to get a drink sounds very stiff so we connect this are you gonna get a drink are you gonna get it gonna get a drink so very quick very quick so again we can answer with yes or no like yeah but with this one with this response are you gonna get a drink we cannot use sure we cannot use sure because sure is an agreement phrase in these to the speaker is asking a question like do you want to do this thing like suggesting I want to do this thing do you want to do this thing with me so you can answer with sure that sounds good here this is a yes-or-no question it's not asking for like agreement so we cannot use sure to respond to this are you gonna get a drink you can use yeah or no or yeah so just a simple yes or no response is good so you cannot use sure to respond to this but these very quick yes or no very quick yes or no this one expressing what you want to eat at the restaurant with I'm gonna get plus your dish name okay let's check the comments why don't you make a series of videos about the verb get a whole series about getting I'll put it I'll put it in my head I don't know that's an idea that's an idea thanks for that uh are you gonna get a drink yes exactly very nice very nice ah why use are not do in the last question oh I see why use here do you gonna get a drink is grammatically incorrect so do you want to do you going to is grammatically incorrect so do you we're using do you for a present tense like situation do you want to right now do you going to do you is for present-tense going to is future tense so there's a mismatch there we cannot use do you gonna okay uh other ones my writing isn't clear I'm very sorry I'm writing quickly live I could say I'm gonna get a drink I'm gonna get a drink yes I'm gonna get a drink we don't use some for one some is used for plural forms I'm gonna get some drinks for my friends is great perfect I'm gonna get some drinks for the party great I'm gonna get a drink for myself for myself so singular we cannot use some okay good good good how do i replay all the live videos please check the video if you're watching on facebook the video portion
