but are rarely explained in simple English.
You’ll hear slow, gentle conversations about situations such as:
• the food being too cold or too salty
• receiving the wrong dish
• not understanding the menu
• asking about vegetarian or allergy-safe options
• trying to get the waiter’s attention
• needing napkins, water, or utensils
• waiting too long for your food
• asking to change tables
• wanting to cancel a dish
• splitting the bill or asking for a to-go box
Through simple, natural English,
we explore how to ask politely, respond calmly,
and handle real restaurant situations with confidence.
A warm, practical conversation
to help you feel more relaxed,
more prepared,
and more comfortable speaking English at any restaurant.
