HOW TO ORDER FOOD IN ENGLISH

Are you learning English? Don't make this common mistake when you order food at a restaurant! This post will teach you a simple trick to sound more polite and confident.

Learn the difference between "I want..." and "Could I have..." to avoid sounding rude. This simple change will help you speak English more like a native speaker and feel more comfortable in any English-speaking restaurant.

Ever felt a little awkward ordering in English? Don't worry, here's a quick tip to sound polite. Instead of saying, "I want..." which can sound a bit demanding, try something more polite like, "Could I have..." or "Can I get..." For example:

• Instead of: "I want the chicken." • Say: "Could I have the chicken, please?" 

• Or even better, "I'll have the chicken, please."

It's a simple change, but it makes a huge difference. 

• Saying, "I want..." is about you. 

• Saying, "Could I have..." is about the service. 

Just a small tweak to sound like a native.
