Stop Freezing When You Order Food in English | Shadowing Practice (A2–B1)

Do you freeze when the barista asks four questions at once? Day 4 of No-Freeze Week: Emma and Ryan say 60 sentences for cafés, shops and restaurants, and you say them out loud with us: ordering coffee, sizes and returns, the menu, and what to say when your food is wrong. 👉 Listen, answer out loud when we pass you the mic, and tell us in the comments: "What do you usually order at a café? Write your full order in English."
