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.

Coffee is nice
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!
