Hospitality and service jobs abroad
English for baristas
The coffee you can make. The morning queue in English is the test: fast orders, local words and a smile in the right words.
Your working week
The conversations you have, in English.
- 01
Taking an order in a rush
What makes it hard: Catch size, milk and name the first time, and repeat it back.
- 02
A wrong order
What makes it hard: Apologise briefly and fix it without a long story.
- 03
Small talk with regulars
What makes it hard: Answer “How’s your day going?” naturally, while you work.
- 04
Shift talk with your manager
What makes it hard: Ask to swap a shift or say you are running late.
Sounds familiar?
You know English. These moments still catch you out.
“People order so fast, and with words I never learned in class.”
“I keep saying sorry, because I don’t know what else to say.”
“Small talk with customers is harder for me than the coffee machine.”
