Today on Tu Ingles Sesin 19, we are going to a restaurant! Vamos a un restaurante!
We are going to eat Indian food vamos a comer comida india!
Its another episode of What Do You Say??
[music]
In America, Canada, and England, there are many Indian restaurants . In fact,
according to Wikipedia segn la Wikipedia there are now 8,000 Indian restaurants
in England!
I love Indian food, but there is another reason why I want to visit an Indian restaurant
with you today. Me encanta la comida india, pero hay otra razn por la que quiero visitar
un restaurante indio contigo hoy.
Today in America, Canada, and England, there are many immigrants. Hay muchos
inmigrantes. And if you visit these countries, many times you will hear English spoken
with a foreign accent. Si visitas estados unidos, por ejemplo, muchas veces vas a oir
ingles hablado con acento extranjero.
Today, I want to give you some practice listening to English with an Indian accent.
Fortunately, we have our friend Cecilia in Mexico, to help us again to day.

Hello Cecilia, how are you today?

Hi! I am fine thanks.
Cecilia, cul es tu comida favorita?
Mexican food, of course!
Ah, muy bien. Y sabes como se hace esa pregunta en ingls?
Yes, you would say, What is your favorite food?
Correct. What is your favorite food.
Notice that, in English, normally you put the adjective before the noun. Normalmente en
ingls se pone el adjetivo antes del sustantivo.
OK, that is why you say Favorite food. Not food favorite.
Right.

Or you would say the White House. Not the house white. La casa Blanca.
And you would say Darwin the black dog. Not Darwin the dog black. Darwin el
perro negro.

Exactly. Hey, Cecilia, do you remember how to say tengo hambre?

Sure. You say, I am hungry.
Correct. Cecilia, are you hungry?
Actually, yes I am.
OK! Are you ready to go to the restaurant Indian?
Yes, but dont you mean the Indian restaurant?
Yes! Thats right! The adjective goes before the noun! The Indian restaurant.
OK, well today, we are going to a restaurant called the Tandoori Sizzle. Vamos a un
restaurante se llama Tandoori Sizzle.
Cecilia, do you know what a Tandoor is?
Isnt it a special oven?

Sii, es un horno especial. Est hecho de cermica.

OK, are you ready? Lets go!!

[restaurant noise]
OK, we are entering the restaurant. Entramos en el restaurante. A woman greets us. Una
mujer nos saluda supongo que ella es la maitra. In English, we use the French
expresin. The Maitre D.
Hello, welcome to the Tandoori Sizzle.
Hello!
Hi!

Cecilia, ella dijo dinner. Sabes la palabra dinner?
Sii, significa cena.
Right. So, what do you say?
Yes, two for dinner please.
Very good. Would you like to sit by the window? Or would you prefer a table in
the back?
Cecilia, la entendiste? Sabes la palabra window?
Si, Window significa ventana.

Si. Table significa mesa.

She wants to know if we want to sit by the window or in the back.

Correcto. Tienes una preferencia? Dile a ella.

Very good. Please be seated.
OK, we sit down at the table by the window and the maitre d gives us some menus.

significa intentar. Pero en este caso, to try significa probar.
Ok, I think I want to try a vegetarian dish.
Ah, muy bien, quieres probar un plato vegetariano. Do you see any vegetarian dishes on
the menu?
Actually, no. But there are many meat dishes.
OK, here comes our waitress. Viene nuesta camarera.

Yes, waitress is for a woman. And waiter is for a man.
Here are your drinks. Are you ready to order?
Cecilia, What did she say? Entiendes are you ready to order?
Si, significa, estas lista para pedir?
Right. Do you want to ask her about the vegetarian dishes?
Yes. Excuse me, could you tell me if you have any vegetarian dishes?
