VoiceTube Global Dining Etiquette: How Different Countries Eat

Description:

VoiceTube Global Dining Etiquette: How Different Countries Eat presents a commentary video on table customs with the full script and a word list beside it. VoiceTube, a platform that teaches English through video, shows the script line by line as it is spoken, lets you click any word for a definition, and lists the expressions used, among them pecking order, at the end of the day, revolve around and fair point.

Limits of the Free Tier Plan: Watching this video, following the script line by line and reading the word list are open on the page. A paid Pro plan at eight dollars a month removes the advertising, lifts the cap on viewing and on the learning tools, raises video importing from twenty minutes to three hundred minutes a month, and adds a chat tutor.

Access: Free Tier Level: Intermediate (B1-B2) & Advanced (C1-C2) Format: Interactive Tool / Video Written for: General English (ESL) English Variant: US

How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The speaker compares how long a meal lasts in Italy and the United States, what slurping noodles means in Japan, what an empty plate says in America and in China, and how tipping differs between the United States, Europe and Japan. The whole script sits under the player line by line, and a vocabulary panel lists the idioms and phrasal verbs used, each with a short definition.

How to use this resource:

Watch once for the argument, then run it again with the script and stop at the lines you could not catch. The word list is where the work is: pecking order, revolve around, mess with and at the end of the day come up constantly in spoken business English. Say the lines back at the speaker's pace to get the rhythm, and click a word you do not know rather than guessing it from the subtitle.
