English idioms and vocabulary from this video

I'd like

Expression

A natural, polite way to ask for something at a counter.

“I'd like a small tea, please.”

When & how to use it

Situation: Starting an order at a café.

Pattern: Use 'I'd like' for a service request; don't make 'I want' your default opening.

regular

Word

Ordinary or standard, without a special variation.

“I'll have a regular coffee, please.”

When & how to use it

Situation: Ordering plain coffee instead of a specialty drink.

Pattern: In a café, 'regular' can differ by location: clarify size, milk, or other details if asked.

That's it

Expression

The order is complete; you do not want anything else.

“That's it, thanks.”

When & how to use it

Situation: A cashier asks whether you want to add anything.

Pattern: Don't just fall silent when asked about extras; close the order with a clear short response.

roast

Word

A coffee-bean roasting style or degree, such as medium roast.

“Do you have a light roast?”

When & how to use it

Situation: Choosing the type of brewed coffee.

Pattern: Do not confuse a roast type with cup size; 'medium roast' and 'medium coffee' answer different questions.

receipt

Word

A record showing what you paid for.

“Could I get a receipt, please?”

When & how to use it

Situation: Finishing a purchase and deciding whether you need proof of payment.

Pattern: Listen for 'receipt' as a checkout question, not another menu option.

Listen. Notice. Choose.
