Breakfast in a British home is full of quick offers and questions: "Who wants toast?", "How do you take it?", "There's no milk left!" Learners often understand the food words but not the questions around them. Learners who translate directly from their own language may say "Give me the jam" or "I want to drink tea", which can sound abrupt, or answer "How do you take it?" with "With my hand".
