Hola, que tal?
So, you're hungry.
And you have enough money to eat at the crappy
fast food joint on the corner.
Do you know how to order food in Spanish?
So, it should be easy, right?
You just: point at the menu,
get your food,
leave, right?
Plus, you've been practicing that sentence
you learned on the Internet
for like ten minutes.
Right?
Una hamburguesa sin queso, por favor. "A hamburguer without cheese, please"
But then...
It all goes wrong...
Una hamburguesa sin queso, por favor. "A hamburguer without cheese, please"
Good morning, welcome to Crappy Patties What would you like?
One
hamburguer
without cheese
please
Would you like french fries and salad
or the combo with soda and dessert?
One
hamburguer
without cheese
please.
It's important to understand what they're asking you
If you don't understand, say: "no entiendo".
Which means:
I don't understand.
If you don't, this could happen:
Would you like a salad?
Yes.
Would you like french fries?
Yes
Would you like today's combo: buy two, get three?
Yes.
Would you like dessert?
Yes.
It's fifty dollars.
Do you pay with a card or with cash?
Yes.
OK, OK, what just happened?
Let's break everything she said down.
She said...
quiere and desea
Which means "would you like?"
She was also talking about food items
The last thing she asked was
how are you gonna pay?
Paga means To pay
or do you pay...?
Next, she said:
Tarjeta
or "efectivo"?
Tarjeta means "card".
And efectivo means cash.
If you don't know
what they're asking you can always say:
No entiendo which is I don't understand
Or you can say:
Solo quiero...
the item you want...
por favor.
So it would be:
Solo quiero
una hamburguesa sin queso
por favor.
Now that you ordered your food
They could ask you one last question:
Para aca o para llevar?
Yes.
Para aca means for here
and para llevar means to go.
means to go.
So they are asking you for here or to go?
OK, so let's take a look at what we just learned
We learned the two words...
In Spanish, those two words are a polite way to ask...
Would you like...?
When they ask you about how you are gonna pay...
They might ask you
After that...
They could ask you...
Con tarjeta
which means with card
or, with a card.
Or, they could ask you
Con efectivo
Which means with cash.
Some of the food items we learned today are
Remember, if you don't understand what they're telling you, you can always say
If you understand and you just don't want them
to give you what what they're gonna give you,
You simply say:
No quiero.
After this, you can also say...
Do you remember that final question
they could ask you?
They could ask you...
That's it for today's lesson.
