And I'm Sian. Hello, everybody.

What can I get you?
Can I have a green tea and a cheese sandwich, please?
Take away or have here?
Take away, please.
Anything else?
That's all, thanks.
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα
α°ααα©α’αΆ? ‘Green tea’ ‘ααͺα α²' αα£α ααα αα½α α»α α¨αα‘’αα αα αααα ααα ‘a cheese sandwich’ α£ααα’ So, Sian shall we look at the language we can use to order in a café?
Sian
Yes, let's do it!
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα
αα΄αΉα αα΅ α£αΈαα€ α₯α² α£α³α³αͺ ααΊα‘ α₯αα³α α¨α α₯α΅α°αα© ααα°α©α α₯α©α’
Sian
Yes! Can you remember what they said? Let's listen again to find out.
What can I get you?
Sian
Yes, you'll probably hear 'What can I get you?’ or they may say 'Who's next?'
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα
α₯αα€ 'Who's next?’ αα₯α αα΅α°αα α₯αα¨ααΉα αα’α© α°α¨α α£α³α³α© ααα΅’α©α’
Sian
Now, it's time to order. You can say 'Can I have…?' and then give your order.
Let's practise the pronunciation of that! Repeat after me:
'Can I have…?'
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα
α₯α² αα£ααααα ααα αα½α α₯αα°αΎαα ‘a’ - ααα€α₯αα αα α α₯αα°αΎαα α¨α ‘an’ α°α ααα’
Sian
That's right. Careful with pronunciation – so we say 'uh' and 'un'. So, 'Can I have a green tea?','Can I have an orange juice?' And remember to be polite, so what word do we need to add? That's right – it's ‘please’.
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα

α΅ααα‘ α²αΉα? α£α₯α α²αΉα αα΅α ααα ααα΅ αα΅αα΅α΅α?
Sian Yes, and you can just say 'Have here, please' if you want to stay, or 'Take away, please' if you want to take it out of the café. Don't forget 'please'!
α£αα«α’ ααα α΅ααα
ααα³α₯α³ α£α³α³α αααΆ ‘Anything else?’ α©α’
Sian
That's right – this is short for 'Do you want to buy anything else?’

If you don't want anything, just say 'That's all, thanks'. Let's practise. Repeat after me: ‘That's all, thanks.’
