Today we are going to practice together common expressions and phrases and
sentences that you are likely to use when you are in a restaurant.
The reason why I'm making this video is because, I don't know
if you know this, but I recently moved to Spain and I'm working on
practicing and learning Spanish.
"Hola amigos, quiero hablar de hoy sobre como estoy aprendido Español."
And I noticed that one of the biggest challenges I have or the biggest friction
that I have is in restaurants, where I don't know exactly how to say what
I want and how to ask for something.
And I like going to restaurants and I like making connections
with the people that work there.
Because having worked in restaurants, I know how important it is
And I can't when I don't have the right phrases and expressions.
So I thought that maybe you are also struggling with finding the exact
phrase to say and how to say it and how to say it in a way that is clear.
And also we can turn it into a pronunciation practice.
So today we're going to practice common phrases and
expressions used in restaurants.
We're going to focus on pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.
Now, to make this practice more effective, I created a PDF practice for you with
all the phrases and audio, so you can click to download it for free and you can
practice it after watching this video.
So it doesn't have to be just the learning part, which is what we're going
to do now in this video, it can also be the repetition and the practice part.
And you can do it on your own with my free PDF and audio.

intonation, it sounds more open.

And the thing about repeating these phrases, it's not like
It's not like you don't understand them, but sometimes they're just not available.
And then we kind of like invent it.
Like, we create new sentences, which is amazing.
But sometimes there are ways to ask for things that are, you know, they
have a certain structure, certain pronunciations, certain intonation.
And when we practice them as if we were practicing words, you know, or even
music, then we just get used to it, and then it's a lot more available.
And then we don't need to recreate something every single
