Hello! Welcome
to the popular ESL HELP! Desk, for fun help with English grammar and
communication.
You're at a bakery and you see some baked goods that look
tasty and maybe interesting. You want to get some information about
them but you don't know what they're called. Now you get
stuck and maybe embarrassed: You can point
to what you are interested in, but how do express yourself
verbally? Or you are in a restaurant and you see a dish on
somebody else's table that looks like something you'd like to try.
You can
point, but that might be rude. What do you say to
find out what that dish is called?
What's this? I'll have some of this, please!
What's this dish called?
Is there meat in it?
What are those? I'll
try some of those!
What kind of
pie is this? Could I please have a slice?
What do you call this? What are these? What's
in them?
Here's one I like! What is this
dish called? I'll have some of that!
If you know what each of
these dishes is, and what country it is from, send us a note and
tell us! We'll tell you what each dish is in our next podcast, and
what country it is from.
Mmm...Now that was good!
