FAQ
Food は数えられますか？
通常、food は不可算名詞です: There is some food in the kitchen. 種類を意味するときは foods を使えます: Asian foods are popular here.
Dinner と supper の違いは何ですか？
Dinner は多くの英語で主な夕食を指します。Supper も、特に一部の地域で使われますが、より軽い夕食を指すことがあります。

丁寧な依頼のかたまりを学び、メニューを読む練習をし、お客と店員の両方を演じてみましょう。まずは自分が最も使いそうな表現に集中します。
Spicy と hot の違いは何ですか？
Spicy は強い香辛料を含む食べ物を表します。Hot も「辛い」を意味する場合がありますが、温度が高い意味にもなるため、味については spicy のほうが明確です。
