And I'm Michael from "Popping Bottles English"! And the topic of today's video is

I think Taiwanese convenience stores are really convenient.

Yeah! You can do anything there. You can pay your phone bills,

The only think you can't do there is sleep.

So today, aside from teaching some English,

- we're also going to play some games, right? - Right!

The games will be split up into three rounds. In the first round,

we're going to do some convenience store trivia!

In the second round, we'll have a convenience store shopping spree lightning round!

And in the third round, we have our popular item

we still have to teach some English, so I'll try to speak quickly so that we can start eating!

We're teaching 4 English terms you can use at a convenience store.

The first one is: "check out" or "ring up."

"check out" and "ring up?" They both refer to buying stuff.

To "check out" is usually what you would say as a customer.

Oh, so when you're buying stuff, you'd say "Let's go check out."

- Yeah, let's go check out. - And if you're getting ready, and the customer is ready to check out

- I'll ring you up over there. - Right. That's what the cashier would say.

- The second one is "receipt." - So many people mispronounce this

- It has a "p"! - It has a "p"! Do you pronounce the "p"?

- No. - Don't pronounce it! How do you say it?

Also, make sure you be careful, because I've heard

- some people call it an "invoice." - When you're online shopping

they email you an invoice. But if you're at a convenience store,

So the cashier will say "Here's your change."

- and you want to give a tip, you can just say... - Oh, you can say

- "Keep the change." - Keep the change. Right, "keep the change."

- The fourth one is "on sale." - "On sale" just means

it has a "special price," and some common types of sales are

"buy one get one free." This just means when you buy you one,

In addition to "buy one get one free", there's also

"buy one get one half off," how do you say that?

- "Buy one get one half off." - That one is so long!

This one doesn't, but the first one does.

So in the future, let's just stick to "buy one get one free."

Now let's do some convenience store trivia!

- I'm just awesome. - You looked it up, didn't you?

- Oh jeez, I have no idea. The US? - Yup, the US.

and then it went to Japan, and a lot of people think

it was original Japanese because we bought the distribution rights from them or something.

- Then where is it? - Number one is Korea

- I didn't even think of Korea. - I didn't either.

- Told ya! And you were so confident. - No no no

In fact, the most purchased product category

- is drinks... - But money-wise it's alcohol.

- Logic. - I'm not so good when it comes to logic.

- I think it's A. - Me too. - You are both correct!

- Yeah, cause I have no idea what the third one is. - I know the English name!

I only watch... other... Japanese videos. Wait, no, not those ones.
