- Unless you're a plant or robot, you need to eat. In this quick and easy vocabulary lesson, I introduce, explain, and pronounce some of the most common and useful English vocabulary related to eating. The words include bite, nibble, chew, swallow, drink, sip, hungry, thirsty, and more. This is an essential lesson that will help you feel more comfortable in common everyday conversations about food and eating.

TRANSCRIPT
Let's eat. Hi, guys. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "Eating Vocabulary". We all eat, every day. Unless you're a plant, you definitely eat. Today, we're going to look at some vocabulary that we use to talk about eating, the activities associated with it, the feelings associated with it. You know, not like really emotional, emotional, like angry, although you could be, but different... Different words associated with food and eating.
So, I will just go down the list, point with my knife. It's not very dangerous. Don't worry. Plus, you're watching me somewhere; I'm not going to hurt you. Let's start from the top. First, we have the verb "bite". So, "bite" is simply this action: [bites]. Okay? When you bite, you have to bite food if it's very hard, for example. Now, this actually goes towards an expression, and we have an expression called: "Grab a bite". So, if you are hungry and you want to get something to eat with your friend, family, etc., you can say: "Hey, let's grab a bite. Come. I want to grab a bite." Or: "We should grab a bite." This means: We should get something to eat. Usually something small, like if you go for lunch with someone at a fast food restaurant or something like that, if you go to fast food restaurants. So "grab a bite" means get something to eat, and "bite" is this action: [bites]. All right?
Next, we have the verb "chew". So your mom or your dad probably told you when you were a kid to chew your food. So, chewing is this action: [chews]. And don't talk when your mouth is full. Right? So, you need to chew your food. There is some rules, or maybe they're real, maybe they're not, they say: "Chew your food 24 times before swallowing." I guess it depends like what you're eating, so I don't know.
Next, before I move to this, we have the verb "nibble". Now, "to nibble" is to eat something, but just give it a small, small bite like... I'm going to look ridiculous, I'm sorry, just: [nibbles]. Like rabbits could nibble carrots, for example. You think of like Bugs Bunny or something. Okay? So "to nibble" is to just take a small, small, small bite of something. Now, this expression "have a nibble", if you're... You know, if you go for dinner with your friend and you want your friend to try your food, you can say: "Here, have a bite." You can also say: "Here, have a nibble. Just a little nibble. Try a little piece." Okay?
Here we have the word "bib". At the start of the lesson, I put on my bib. It means I'm ready to eat. If you go to a restaurant... A lot of people don't really use the bibs in this way anymore I think. Most people put them in their laps when they go to a restaurant. But this is a bib. Still very useful, especially if you eat lobster or ribs; anything messy.
"Drink". I'm sure you understand the verb "drink". Basically, if you have any liquid, water, etc., juice, you must drink it. Okay? Now, "drink" can be a noun or it can also be a verb. So you drink if you are thirsty. If you're thirsty, you need water, you need liquid. You need to drink something, like this.
I'm just going to put these down. And... Ah, this is a good word: "sip". So "a sip" is if you want to take a small drink of something. So, for example, I am a little thirsty, I need a sip of water. So you can use "sip" like a noun or a verb. You can have a sip, or you can sip, like this. Just a sip, a quick drink. Okay? We also use this verb very commonly if you're drinking something hot, like we say: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't... You know, don't just drink it. Sip it, like: [sips]." Right? Small, little sips, like this, if something is very hot. Very important.
Okay, and again, I gave you the expression: "You can take a sip", or "have a sip", similar to "have a nibble", "have a bite", if you're offering food. If you want to offer, you know, a taste of your drink to a friend, you can say: "Here, try it." or "Here, have a sip." Very common. Or: "Take a sip."
Okay, next, we have the verb "swallow". So after you eat, after you chew, after you drink, you: [swallows] ingest your food. The food goes down into your body. This is called "swallowing". So you swallow your food.
Next, we have the verb "burp". So if you eat hotdogs, drink Coca-Cola, have pizza, have some carbonated beverage, or even some water, you might burp. So, "burp" is when the gas comes up and comes out of your mouth, like: "[burps]." This is called a burp. I can't burp right now. I can't.

I am a retired EFL teacher but I have one student though - my grandson whom I have been teaching on Skype for three years now. I have visited tons of sites trying to make teaching fun for him (he is 14 now). Today I have "discovered" your site and I am really impressed! You ARE a great teacher! Will be using your videos every day from now on! Thank you! Fantastic job!
Wow. I am a general practitioner, and I am thinking seriously to travel to an English speaking country in the future, so this video is really useful to survive in a daily working day related to my professional field. Thanks a lot for sharing your classes by free

great lesson on eating. thanks mr. alex.keep going
Thanks for that lesson, I'm brazilian and sometimes I get confused about what word should I use to talk with others when the subject is "food or eating" thanks for now!
Hi Alex. I've just learned English for some months. I found out your channel accidentally 2 months ago, and subcribled it. I watched plenty of your videos and I really like them. My English is getting better. I have to say "Thank you Alex". I hope I and other people will be watched more your videos. Thank you and hearty wishes.
+Truong Nguyen Thank you very much. I appreciate your support.
Alex, I love your vids! They're very useful in everyday conversations. I remember hearing the expression "to grab a bite" for the first time from an American friend I used to chat with on messenger so much time ago. He said he needed to go grab a bite of something. Well, by the way, fish, for example, can take a lot of chewing because some types have plenty of pin bones in their meat, unless they've been deboned before. I have a 3 year old niece who just nibbles at the food when it's dinner time. She doesn't like to eat vegetables and meat. Well, when coffee is too hot I usually drink it in sips so that it cools off enough not to burn my mouth. There could be no one around for miles and I would still excuse myself out after burping. When I go visit my mother I always go for seconds at lunch because she can cook very well and her food is tasty. My husband often has dinner leftovers for lunch, because I'm not home during the day and so there's no one to cook for him. I don't eat quite much in the weekdays, because I have only one hour for lunch, and at night I don't like to eat too much before going to bed, because I don't feel ok to lie down when I'm stuffed. Well, these are some sentences I wrote in order to practice the vocabulary presented in this video.

Your lessons are very useful because those are very common vocabulary. But it will be really memorizable if you can put them all (or some most frequent) in a dialogue or a conversation for example.
