  • By the way, the only " little American districts" outside English speaking countries, are either embassies or military stations.So, I do not think that suggestion works for all of us indeed.Nice try though.Very funny.lol

  • Actually, I've traveled all over the world - about 25 countries - and in pretty much every one, there are English-speaking enclaves (areas) for ex pats. You're right though, if there's a military base, the English area is much larger. Anyone else? Where are you from? Where can you go to speak English in your countries?

  • If they don't understand, I'm hoping they'll go to my website for a transcript and vocabulary explanation!

  • Also! When you decide to go and order a beverage. Please try asking for your drink at a moderate speed/tone for the employee to understand and record.. Please DO NOT rehearse your drink in your Car, then come in and quickly recite a long paragraph of a drink in 2 seconds flat!

  • MAY I have a "insert overpriced coffee name here".

  • This video was a little hard to understand , first because the background noise and secondly because you spoke so low and fast....

    Thanks a lot though....

  • I believe that I can claim my English is near native, but when in places like Starbucks, I have no idea what to say... You got to know their products to be able to order intelligently. Another example, I am a native Japanese speaker, but when I went to Kaiten Sushi (sushi on circulating belt which was invented after I left Japan, I didn't know what to do.

  • The video is very nice. But in my opinion, there's a problem with it, an advanced student would understand it, but they already know how to order a coffee. A basic level student wouldn't understand the video at al. Role-playing would be 1000 times more effective.

  • What a waste of time!!! An elementary student would not be able to understand anything with you yapping on and on. Simple is the way to go my dear. And a bit of role-play would not be a bad idea!! An america -English district?? Good one!! lol

  • Nice advice but I'd like to see some role-play so as to show to elementary students.

  • i like coffee

  • Coffee is nice
