Restaurant Skit
Now that your menus are complete we will put them to the test. Your classmates will play time travelers from ancient Rome, who only know Latin (not English!). Luckily you are prepared to provide them with a bilingual menu and to take their order.

Restaurant owners (waiters) Checklist: Greet everyone! Give them a menu! Take their order! Ask how the food is! Useful phrases: Salvte! Hello (to multiple people)! Quid agis hodi? How are you doing today? Exspectatissim estis in caupn me! You are very welcome at my restaurant! Er minister/ministra hodi. I will be your waiter/waitress today. Ecce! Hc est index cibrum! Look! Here is a menu! Quid t cenabitur? What will you eat? Placetne tibi? Do you like it? quaes / grtis please / thank you

Restaurant patrons (diners) Checklist: Greet your waiter! Order 1-2 items from the menu! Compliment the restaurant! Everyone must speak! Useful phrases: Salv! Hello (to one person)! Optim/Ben/Mediocriter/Mal/Pessim (Tells how you are doing today.) Quam iucuda caupna est! What a nice restaurant this is Quid est dlicisum? What is tasty? m cenabitur... I will eat... Placet mihi.
