Phrases to speak in English in a bar

English is the universal language and if you are traveling in the United States or in another country that speaks another language, you must learn some typical phrases to be able to relate.

Bars can be a great place to meet women, but if you don't speak English this can be a big barrier.

If you're ready to go on a trip, then take note of the following 10 phrases in English that will allow you to have a chat with people who do not speak your language.

1. Once you settle in at the bar or at a table, ask for the list of drinks and prices. "Hi how are things? Can I see the menu?" (Hello, how are you? Can I have the menu? = Jelóu, jáu ar iu? Kan ai jáv da méniu?).
2. When you have decided what to drink, ask the waiter or bartender, "May I order a daikiri?" (Can I ask you for a daikiri? = Kan ai áskiu for a daikiri?). Or if you dare: «I would like to take the specialty of the house» (I'd like to order the drink of the house = Aid laik tu Orden da drínk ov da Jaus).
3. If you stay at the bar, sooner or later, you will start talking to more people. If you feel confident, offer or ask, "Do you want to try?" (Would you like to try it? = Wud iu láik tu trai it?), "What are you drinking?" (What are you drinking? = Wót ar iu drinking?).
4. When you're in a bar abroad, a basic question that paves the way for conversation is, "Where are you from?" (Where are you from? = Wéar ar iu fróm?).
5. If they ask you what you do in that city, you can answer: «I came for business / to visit some friends / I'm on vacation» (I'm on a business trip / I came to visit some friends / I'm on holiday = Aim on a bíznis trip / Ai kéim tu vísit sam frénds / Aim on jólidei).
6. If you tell your itinerary in the city where you are, ask the people you are talking to: "Do you have a place to recommend me?" (Do you have some place / s to recommend? = Du iu jáv sam pléis-is tu recoménd?).
7. If you spent much of the night in the bar and plan to stay awake, it won't hurt to ask, "How late is it open?" (What time do you close? = Wót táim du iu klóus?).
8. If you are talking to someone you would like to continue meeting, you can ask, "Do you know where we can go from here?" (Do you have some place to go afterwards? = Du iu jáv sam pleis tu gou afterwards?).
9. If you continue your night alone and you have a piece of information, you can ask a local: "They told me about X place, do you know if it's okay to go?" (I've heard about X place. Do you know if it's alright? = Aiv jloss abáut X pléis. Du iu nóu if it is orráit?).
10. Whether or not you plan to return to the bar, say goodbye to those with whom you have spoken and say thank you. "See you later, thank you very much. See you next" (Good bye, thank you very much. See you soon = Gud bái, zénkiu veri mách. Sí iu sún).

Put aside your shyness and speak English however you like ... after all, they don't know Spanish either and they would speak it the same way you do.
