Come Have Coffee With Us English Conversation Practice

this is my friend Anna we haven’t seen

each other in a while so we’re just

gonna have a coffee and catch up

you want to come did you hear me say the

phrasal verb catch up it means to talk

to someone you haven’t seen for a while

and find out what they’ve been doing

this place is nice you’ve one of my

favorite have you been here before

so what can you recommend you or usually

I like the nosy limit that’s delicious

and they do really good coffee and

smoothies

mmm what do you recommend

I asked Anna what she recommends because

she has been to this restaurant before

so she knows what’s good to eat okay I’m

gonna have the nasi lemak set with a

coffee what do you want do you mind if I

share that with you and sure I’ll get a

nice latte is what yeah that’s good and

what do you want

can you think of an answer the

grammatically correct way to answer that

question is I want an iced latte I want

an iced latte but in real life native

English speakers use a few different

verbs when they’re in a cafe or a

restaurant in this context they all have

the same or very similar meanings so you

might hear I want an iced latte

I’ll have an orange juice I’ll take a

peppermint tea I’ll get a pineapple
