The script is a little bit short. However, you can start to build up more sentences and dialogues as more group post their script in the blog. You posted a couple of great sentences as follows.

wǒ bú yǎo tài xiàn.(the correct tone is: wǒ bú yào tài xián)
=> I don't want too salty.

wǒ kěyǐ yòng xin yòngkǎ ma?
=>Can I use credit card?

wǒ yǎo diǎn cài mifan.
=>wǒ yào diǎn cài hé mǐfàn, meaning I am going to order some dishes with rice.

When I read your script, I can picture you are sitting in the restaurant and point to the dishes in the menu to the waiter or waitress.

Wǒ yào diǎn zhè ge.
=> I want to order this.

Wǒ yào diǎn là jī lo mein.
=> I want to order spicy chicken noodle soup.

Wǒ yào diǎn zhè ge tāng.
=> I want to order this soup.

Wǒ yào hē shuǐ.
=> I want to drink water.

Because you are all very hungry.
=>Wǒ men hén èr le.

BTW, a sentence pattern needs to be corrected. When using an adjectival predicate, you should omit the be verb, shì (is).
Ní men shì máng ma? (wrong sentence)
Ní men máng ma? (correct sentence)

Joe & Peter,

The greetings at the initial sentences are perfect.

1) Wǒ yáo diǎn cai. (I want to order dishes. "cai" refers to dishes here.
=> The correct tone for the second words is "yào".

:Nǐ yǒu shè yāo hè?
=〉Nǐ yǒu shénme yǐnliào hē? (Direct translation:You have what drinks to drink?)

:Duōshǎo chèngběn?
=>"chèngběn" is the cost of running the business. Here the sentence needs to be changed to : "qǐwèn duōshǎo qián?" (May I ask how much of money?)

:Xièxiè nǐ de bāngzhù.
=>great sentence.

Marc & Mike,

The script seems short. But I think you will extend it when you film your contents. You use a very hard sentence right after the greeting.

Nǐ hái zài wèi wǔcān tèbié?
=>a) Nǐ hái zài wǔcān tèjià ma? (Translate directly: You still in lunch special price?)
b) wǔcān yǒu shénme tèbié de?(In regards to lunch, you have something special?)

Wǒ yaò diǎn cài là jī hé xī lánhuā.
=>Wǒ yaò diǎn cài là chaǒ huā yé cài. (I want spicy chicken fried with broccoli.

Duōshǎo chéngběn?
=> This sentence has to be changed to "yígòng duóshǎo qián? " (In total, how much?)

Carson & Jonathan,

Reading your script brings me to your Chinese restaurant encounters.

The verb you employed in the following sentences is "yào, want". Please make change the tone mark with the second tone.

1) Nĭ yăo he shénme?
=>Nĭ yào hē shénme? (translate directly: You want to drink what?)

Wŏ yăo shuǐ.
=> Wŏ yào shuǐ. (I want water).

Wŏ ye yăo shuǐ
=>Wŏ yě yào shuǐ. (I also want water.)

Nĭ yăo dian shénme?
=>Nĭ yào diǎn shénme?(Translate directly: You want to order what?)

Wŏ yăo fan.
=>Wŏ yào fàn. (I want rice)

Wŏ ye yăo fan.
=>Wŏ yě yào fàn. (I also want rice)

It seems the script should not end here because you only order rice without ordering any dish yet.

Ibrahim & Michael,

The script is also very short. It is interesting that Ibrahim brings up a cultural issue for not eating pork for most Saudi Arabian people.

Wǒ shì xuésheng.
=> Wǒmen shì xuésheng. (using plural form for two people).

Wǒ shì Shātè ālābóguórén
=>a) Wǒ shì guórén. or,
=>b) Wǒ shì Shātè ālābórén.

Wǒ bùnéng chī zhū ròu. (great sentence)

ian yi yi xia? (????)
