American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.

Stairway to English: Short easy to understand episodes to improve your English grammar and fluency

Part 1: Conversation Edition: Language Learning, Families, and Immigration with Marisa Vallbona

As humans, we are social beings however we must also establish personal boundaries within our relationships. For someone who worked in the people industry for 15 years, I have many lessons to share and I have also learned to establish some walls that cannot be climbed. Especially, for people building their businesses, setting boundaries with acquaintances and relationships is extremely important to keep ones reputation and even integrity.

PERSONAL BOUNDARIES and its importance in relationships and Business

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今回は、日本のカフェやレストランで聞く言葉について話します。
これは、先日レッスンをしていた時に出てきたトピックです。
おもしろいですし、とっさに聞くと困ると思うので、いくつか紹介しますね！


店内けっこう混み合ってるんですけど、大丈夫ですか？
こんな言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
意味は、店の席がほとんどあいていませんが、良いですか？
店内で飲みますか？食べますか？席はありますか？
というような意味ですね。

これは、たとえばカフェに行きます。
席がほとんどうまっています。
そんな時に、店員さんから聞かれると思います。

この時には、席はとったので大丈夫です。とか、
持ち帰りにします、とか
店員さんに言ってください。

僕は以前、コーヒーショップで20年働いていたので、このようなことをお客さんによく聞いていました。

満席に近いですが、お席取られていますか？とか、
席がほとんど埋まっていますので、先に席取ってくださいね、とか
今は席がいっぱいなので、持ち帰りでもよろしいでしょうか、などと
いうことが多かったです。

コーヒーショップは平日の朝や夜遅くは空いていますが、平日の昼から夕方、土日は1日中、席がいっぱい、満席なことが多いですね。

もし旅行で日本に来た時は、午前中にカフェに行く方がいいですよ！
席もあいているし、ゆっくりできます。


カフェやレストランでの会話や、コーヒーのことなど話したい方は、ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話ししましょう！

ということで、今回は、カフェなどで聞く言葉、について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
