Outlines
📞 Making a Reservation
The first paragraph of the script revolves around a phone call to make a reservation at Lingoni's Kitchen for two people at 2:30 PM. The caller requests outdoor seating and provides the name 'Emily' and a phone number '555-6273'. The conversation then shifts to the restaurant where Brian, the server, greets the guests and offers them drinks. He takes their appetizer orders – a water for one and a beer for the other – and also their main course selections: a chicken Caesar salad and an eggplant parmigiana. The server checks if they need anything else and then proceeds to take their order.
🍽 Dining Experience
The second paragraph continues the dining experience at Lingoni's Kitchen. The server, Brian, checks on the guests to ensure they enjoyed their meal and offers dessert, which they decline. He presents the bill and clears the table upon request. The guests are ready to pay immediately, and the server returns to process the payment. The script then transitions to a review of vocabulary from the dialogue, explaining terms like 'reservation', 'server', 'app' (as in appetizer), 'main course', 'bill', 'card reader', 'cash', and 'change'. The paragraph concludes with a humorous note where the guests jokingly comment on the experience feeling like a date and express their satisfaction with the waiter's service.

all right and you're all set have a
great day now thanks so much you too
thanks
okay
so
let's take a break
and look at some of the words that might
be new for you from the video
the first one
reservation
this is how you save yourself a seat or
a room somewhere
you can make reservations
at a restaurant
a hotel
an airplane etc
server
this is the person who takes your order
for your food and drink
and brings you
your food and drink at a restaurant
can i start you off with
this is a way to say can i bring you
something
but
since it's start you off with
this means the first thing i will bring
you
an app
short for appetizer
is a small amount of food
you eat at a restaurant before your main
meal
like in many languages
app can also be the thing on your phone
but when we're talking about restaurants
app is short for appetizer
coming right up
this is a phrase we often say that means
i'll bring it to you as soon as possible
main course or main dish
this is the largest part of your meal
it's the big dish the primary dish
all set with everything
if you ask someone if they are
all set with everything
you're just asking them if they have
everything they need
bill
this is a receipt or a small piece of
paper usually
that shows everything you ordered
and how much you need to pay for those
things
your total comes to
this is just a way to say
you need to pay this much money
card reader
this is the machine you put your card
into
to pay for something
cash
cash is just money
in the form of paper money and coins
change
change is the money you get back
after you've paid for something
so
if something costs two dollars and you
pay with a five dollar bill
you will get
three dollars back
in change
okay
let's watch those dialogues again but
this time without subtitles
