Notes
Ordering food can be tricky, but the waiting staff are supposed to be on hand to help.
Listen to Sue and Chris and a particularly difficult waitress as they decide what to order for dinner.
One of the most difficult aspects in learning and using English in a social setting is eating and drinking in the restaurant, which is obviously vital for survival, but in a business context is a hugely important part of relationship building with clients, colleagues and suppliers.
The main difficulties arise from the vocabulary used to describe foods and drinks and the way that they are prepared, but an additional issue is the background noise that is often present in eateries and places where people go to eat and drink.
Language Focus
