At the Restaurant Abroad
One of the greatest pleasures of traveling is eating.
What it is
One of the greatest pleasures of traveling is eating. Long after you forget the name of a hotel, you will remember the taste of that soup in a small restaurant in Mexico, the pasta in Italy, the fresh fish in front of the sea, or the dessert that made you close your eyes and say, "This is the best thing I have ever eaten." But for many travelers, eating in a restaurant abroad also creates a little nervousness: the menu is in another language, the customs are different, the waiter asks questions quickly, and nobody wants to order the wrong thing by accident. Take a deep breath. Dining out in English is easier than you think, it is a delicious way to practice the language, and with a few key phrases and a little cultural knowledge, you will sit at any table in the world with confidence and an appetite.
Your restaurant adventure begins at the door.
Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor:
1. What is the best meal you have ever eaten while traveling?
2. Do you feel nervous ordering food in English? Why or why not?
3. What do you usually order as an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert?
4. How do you like your steak cooked: rare, medium, or well done? Why?
5. What food allergies or preferences should a traveler always explain in a restaurant?
6. Do you think tipping is a good system? How much do you usually tip?
7. What are the differences between restaurants in Puerto Rico and in other countries you know?
8. Have you ever ordered the wrong dish by accident? What happened?
9. Would you try an exotic dish you have never eaten before in another country? Give an example.
10. If a waiter asked you "What do you recommend?" about Puerto Rican food, what would you say?
