I love the dynamic of the two of you. I also believe that native speakers can’t teach Spanish to English speakers. There are just too many concepts that they do intuitively without even being aware they do it. It takes an English speaker to say, yeah it makes no sense, but this is how it’s done. Or to be fluent in English enough to know that rarely used equivalent in English. Thanks for what you do! It’s great!

In Canada the waiter/waitress will usually ask you if you are finished eating and then ask if you’d like your plate removed before taking your plate from the table.

He estado viendo ustedes videos por unas semanas. Ustedes videos son divertidos y efectivos. Merecen más visitas :)

Love the sense of humor you two bring to the lessons!

Ustedes dos son totalmente simpáticos. Voistros explicaciones, diálogos y escenas representadas son geniales, útiles y divertidas. Me encanta. 🥰 Soy de Alemania. 😃

Este video es oro puro, muy bien hecho y detallado! Aprendí un par de cosas nuevas. Bueno, eso siempre es el caso cuando veo tus videos.

Una otra vez, gracias por todos sus videos. Su contenido es muy útil y me trayó mucha información en una estilo simple. Aprecio toda el trabajo de vosotros

Yes, plates are cleared quickly in the US, I think because they want to increase table turnover to increase profits. Likewise, a server will often leave the bill on the table while you're still eating with a cheery, "No rush, I'll just leave this here." While this helps the restaurant increase turnover, it also saves the customer time not having to flag down a sever to request the bill later.

hey! I like how your videos include both english and spanish speaking, it makes it easier to ease into listening!

Gracias por sus videos tan útiles!

Such fun and good videos! I’m learning so much Spanish in each episode🙂! Thank you!

Guau, que bueno video! Aprendí muchos frases nuevos y no es fácil encontrar esta información en línea de traducción o sitios de blog así que me encanta este video muchísimo

I literally have you guys? on non stop watching I love. you guys. You guys are awesome. Nobody does it better than you guys.

Very good -- very very good. Muchas gracias otra vez. Muy buen hecho.

in Colombia we have to ask for everything.. to order, for another drink, for the check..literally everything haha. nothing moves fast here, and no one is in a rush to either take your order, or get you out the door when you're done. it's kinda nice actually, when you just learn to go with it.

Thank you muchisima Gracias.

Excelente video. Lo he visto dos veces. Ustedes explicaron muy bien y aprendí algo nuevo. Estoy deseando ver más vídeos.

You guys are so cute 😂👍🏻 thanks for helping me learn more

Very helpful!

Me gustó el video Gracias

Great

Wow you are both awesome, your videos are so helpful!

muchas gracias por sus videos y pagina de web. Han sido realmente útiles

Creo también sería interesante comentar, por qué en algunos países de Latinoamérica dicen "restorán" en vez de restaurante.

Great video, thanks! In Argentina I've learnt 'te pido [noun]'. It's simple and I like it, but I've heard it sounds a little odd in some other countries.

Lo que me gusta de Argentina es que nunca encontrás un restaurante donde sentís presionado por el mozo. Creciendo en en NY siempre existe esa presión. Además en NYC se puede encontrar restaurantes donde literalmente they will yank your plate away, but I've only ever encountered that in chinatown.

Here in the United States, it's rude for a server to ask if we're finished with a SPECIFIC plate (because it makes us feel rushed to eat). Instead, servers who have proper etiquette, will ask if there are ANY plates that they can get out of our way. This applies to ANY restaurant. Also, vacuuming the floors while customers are eating is a big no for me. Even when they're using the quiet ones. Who wants dust from dirty foot traffic flying around your food? That's just McNasty! Servers who take your glass and a glass from another table for refill are inconsiderate. It leaves the customer feeling insure if the glasses have been swapped by accident. So most finer restaurants will usually bring you a fresh glass instead of a refill. Servers commonly bus dirty tables themselves because busboys are usually doing other tables... so its common to see a server touch dirty plates and fresh plates simultaneously. When that happens, I'm done. And the server should not expect a tip. That's disgusting...🤢🤮 There is usually a sign that says "please wait to be seated". However, if no sign is present, we assume its ok to sit where you please... such as a waffle house, a roadside diner or a fast food restaurant.

Love the content! I hope the English guy improves his accent soon, that is pretty grating.

Thank you for your very helpful videos. Just one thing (and it may apply to only me!) - I'm colourblind and I find red text on a grey background difficult to read.

In the U.S. we usually like the server to take our plates away quickly if they notice we are done eating. We don't want it "yanked" away. Usually the server will ask, "shall I take your plates?" or "Do you want me to get those plates?" If not, we will ask, "can you take these plates?"

Me gustaría (sorry. Misspelled that word in my last comment).

Lo siento, pero aprendí que no debo realizar pedidos usando "Quiero...". Para mí no es apropiado. Mejor “me gustaría un café”…., por ejemplo.

Vivo en EEUU y puedo decir que no es tan importante para el mesero retirar el plato de la mesa.

🤩🙏🏽

or: solo para mi (?), solamente yo (?)

"mas nice" 😂

Conoces el peine?

Parece que los retaurantes de México están muy desordenados todo el día ordenando

Speak as you like & don't pay attention to these "grammarians" 🙂

I like the idea of this video however the young lady speaks far too fast for a teaching/learning video
