How To Order Coffee Like a Local In English | Coffee Shop English | A to Z Restaurant Conversation

Описание: ⭐️ Coffee Shop English - Order Like a Local | Complete Guide from Simple to Complex | Leap English Podcast

Walk into Starbucks. Barista asks "What can I get started for you?" Your mind goes blank. You know "coffee" but don't know how to say "medium iced latte with oat milk, extra hot, half the pumps of vanilla, extra foam." You point at the menu awkwardly. You say "this one" and hope it's right. You leave with the wrong drink because you couldn't explain what you wanted. This happens because nobody taught you actual coffee shop vocabulary and conversations.
This complete guide solves that. Learn every phrase from basic "Can I get a coffee?" to complex customizations like a regular customer.
