Ordering Food Portions Conversation Practice

Ordering food in English can be tricky, especially when you want to ask about portion sizes politely. In this short video lesson, you’ll hear a natural conversation between a restaurant customer and a waitress about ordering pasta. The customer isn’t very hungry and wants to know if the portion is large. The waitress explains that the restaurant offers both full and half portions, giving the customer the option to choose the right amount of food.

This video helps learners understand useful restaurant vocabulary such as portion, half portion, side dish, and extras. You’ll also learn how to ask questions clearly, like “Is the portion large?” or “Does it come with a side dish?” These expressions are perfect for travelers or anyone dining in English-speaking countries.

Practice listening for tone, intonation, and polite phrases like “I’d like to try” or “No problem!” After watching, try role-playing the dialogue with a friend or recording yourself to build confidence.

This video makes restaurant English simple and practical — helping you feel comfortable and confident every time you order food.
