in today's video we're going to learn some English at the grocery store.

Before going inside, let's grab a shopping cart.

A shopping cart is probably better if you're going to buy a bunch of groceries.

It's easier to push the shopping cart than carry a heavy basket.

But if you are going to be in and out of the store and you're only going to buy a couple of items, then I recommend you grabbing a basket rather than pushing a shopping cart.

Right now I'm inside the grocery store and before coming to the grocery store, I like to make a list of items that I want to buy or a grocery list.

This is a grocery list and it does come in handy because I can find things in the same aisles and I can make sure I want to buy the things on my list and not forget anything.

Inside the grocery store, you can find different sections of foods.

For example, right now I'm in the produce section and in this section you can find vegetables and fruits.

They have different types of produce in the store.

Organic is grown without pesticides and it is a little bit more expensive than the conventional produce.

And conventional is grown with pesticides.

Here is the organic section where you can find organic fruits and vegetables.

For example, the price of an organic green bell pepper is $4.99 per pound and a conventional green bell pepper is $2.49 per pound.

Can you see the difference between the prices?

Many fruits and vegetables are sold by weight.

When you're ready to check out at the checkout counter, you will have to weigh, for example, a bunch of bananas to determine the final price of these bananas.

So if you wanted to know the weight of a bunch of bananas, you will just put this bunch on the scale and it's around two and a half pounds.

The unit price tells you how much you'll pay per pound, ounce or item.

Talking about bananas, how do you know the best time to eat one?

That means the bananas are mature, they are perfect to eat, and they are normally yellow.

If the bananas are hard and green, they might be under ripe.

But if the bananas are overripe, they might be brown, soft and mushy.

you need to eat them fast because they might go bad and it's the same thing with avocados.

It's soft and a little bit mushy and it's ready to eat.

It's hard, the outer shell is green and it's not ready to eat.

It's probably best to buy an underripe avocado if you're not going to eat the avocado the same day.

A lot of you might know a lot about the common types of fruits like bananas, strawberries, and

But can you guys differentiate the different types of apples?

For example, this is a Granny Smith apple.

So a lot of these apples over here have different sizes, colors and tastes.

So this one, the green apple, might be kind of sour, but

a honey crisp apple, a red apple, might be sweet.

As you can see, there are many different types and kinds of apples in the store.

It's kind of sour and I like to dip it in peanut butter.

Excuse me, where can I find some laundry detergent?

Probably down in American grocery aisle, aisle seven.

Learning English can be a little bit like navigating a grocery store.

In this section, you can order sliced meats and cheeses at the deli counter.

Let's go ahead and order at the deli counter.

At the deli counter, you can see how thin you want your meat sliced.

So you can get it shaved very thin, thin cut, sandwich or dinner cut.

When you order at the counter, you will order per Pound.

So you can get a quarter pound, a half a pound, three quarters pound or one pound.

If you want a quarter pound, it'll be probably for one or two sandwiches.

And if you want one pound, that'll be enough for four to five sandwiches.

Hi, can I get half a pound of ham please?

Here you can find bread, cakes, pastries, cookies and even more things.

Also in this section you can find some baking supplies if you do want to bake some cakes or cookies.

Yeah, what's the, like the one on the stick with chocolate?

Now I'm in another section of the grocery store, the cereal section.

But we don't really call this a section, we call this an aisle.
