Summary
Tea or coffee? It sounds like a small question, but it comes up almost every day at work, at a friend's house, or in a café. Sarah and Mike sit down for a slow, easy English conversation about tea drinkers and coffee drinkers, and about how we offer, accept, and politely refuse a drink. This is daily English conversation practice you can use the next time someone puts the kettle on in your office kitchen.Do you ever say "no thank you" and then the other person keeps offering anyway? In this friendly English podcast chat you will practise offering a drink with "Can I get you anything?" and "whatever you're having", refusing kindly with a reason ("I'm all set, I've already had two cups"), describing taste with words like bitter, bland, and acquired taste, and disagreeing in a warm way with "I get what you mean, but" and "point taken".This episode is perfect for A2 English learners who want to talk about their daily drink habits, describe tastes, and sound polite and natural when someone offers them tea or coffee.💡 Tip: When you refuse a drink, add a reason: "No thanks, I've already had two cups.⏱️ Chapters0:00 Introduction1:15 Talk About Tea and Coffee in English2:21 Describing Taste with Bitter and Bland5:27 Disagreeing Politely and Using Either8:23 Offering and Refusing a Drink15:42 Talking About Habits with On22:24 Speaking Practice24:23 Vocabulary Review & Next Episode📚 Vocabulary in this episode• bitter: a sharp, dark taste, not sweet• hooked on: can't stop, you need it• cut down on: have less of it than before• bland: almost no taste• in moderation: in small, sensible amounts• acquired taste: you like it only after trying it many times• snob: someone who thinks their taste is better than yours• of…
