I taught conversational Spanish for four years to homeschool high school students. I took them to a Mexican restaurant here in California and everyone had to speak Spanish order the food in Spanish, pay speaking to the waitresses in Spanish etc. I’d go through the items too and have then tell me what it was in Spanish. Excellent way for kids to learn the language.

I've been learning Spanish in Barcelona, Spain for the last six months and people here use a different vocabulary when ordering food i.e. me gustaria..., querría..., voy a tomar...., me pones..., algo más?..., ya esta? and so on. It is fascinating to see how it differs from one country to another.

La cosa que aprendí en Ecuador 🇻🇪 es "de llegar", meaning carry out. So, maybe you can put that into use by asking, "¿Tiene comida de llegar?" At least, that's what I asked to find out if I could order food to go.

I can’t get over how the direct translation of ‘te encargo’ is ‘I order you’. I found people in Mexico also say “me regalas un/una… por favor” for napkins etc. It feels better to me.

@SpanishandGo Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I hear you. Not everyone likes it in Mexico either, but it doesn’t sound rude or demanding at all to most Mexicans. As with most things in language, tone and context are important. For example, in English and in Spanish, there are contexts where saying “give me….” when ordering are perfectly acceptable, even though it sounds quite demanding at face value.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. It is very helpful the way you show actual situations and translate. I can sometimes translate when reading but I can't understand when spoken to. Even when an instructor speaks, I can piece together the information, but they usually speak slow. When native Mexicans speak, it is usually too fast for me to understand. I live in New Mexico, USA and my mom and dad are Spanish. Their first language was Spanish but when they were young, they would get in trouble at school if they didn't speak English. So they taught the kids (me) English and nothing more. I have the accent and I know some basic Spanish but I can't seem to get a grip on the language. I like how you show actual conversations with waiters, sales people, etc., then you break it down. After you slow down the speech, I usually understand. I go back and listen and it helps me to understand when they speak fast. Amazing! I hope you do more videos like this. It really helps. Thank you!
