What does "TAKE TEA" really mean? (It's probably not what you think)

Do you DRINK TEA or do you TAKE TEA? How about soup? Should you say EAT SOUP or DRINK SOUP? And what does it mean when someone asks "How do you take your tea?" or "How do you take your coffee?" Watch this video to find out!

Your explanation is very convincing Teacher, how lucky we are to be your students.

[@rhea3234]

For some reason, I don't usually drink either tea or coffee. Anyway, your method of teaching is one-of-a-kind as far as I'm concerned.

[@evelynquinonez1667]

I usually drink a mug of tea at anytime. I don't like to eat cold soup. Thank you, Mike. This video shows why you are the best teacher.

[@guermahfatiha8050]

Dear sir..thank you very much..💅

[@kacherfadila6367]

Hi T.mike!in fact in all over the world people drink tea and eat soups...anyway,thank you too much and enjoy your time!

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Yes, but the expression "take tea" is directly related to the British tradition.

[@kritoak9719]

Hello,Teacher Mike.Thank you so much for all your lessons that help me a lot learning English. Now I am confused a little bit about soup and broth that you say in this lesson. What is difference between soup and broth? Thanks .😀

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Broth is just liquid that meat/vegetables was boiled in. It's only liquid. There are no pieces of anything in it.

[@protraingprotraing7237]

Dear Mike, maybe you can change the title of this video, as in the first sentence the verb drink is repeated and may lead to confusion. Thanks for clarifying these uses.

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Haha. OMG. Thank you.

[@ranaabuhuraira7407]

What is the difference between British english and American English

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

There are many differences, but they aren't that significant.

[@laminetraore7120]

Likewise in French we say take tea.. but we drink water

[@marisabierrenbachblandy4252]

How about if I have lots of beverages on my table and I have to choose one. Maybe I'll take tea.😂

Yes. Exactly.✅

Thank you so much ☺️ Teacher Mike. I love the way you teach . Could you please make a video on how to make a KZbin channel. I need it so badly and no one is there to help me. And I’m not a technology person so I have iPhone and a lot of gifts and talents to share with world 🌎. I’ll really appreciate your help. And thanks again. May GOD bless you and your love ones.
