English, French and a little German. In general I find Americans to be far more obsessive aabout their manners -sending notes to thank people for thank you notes sent for gifts that were given inperson and thanks said at the time..... but yes, ordering is different. I always thought I'd never say "can I get....", or "I'll take a...." but I do. I aleways say thank you, though. "May I have...." tends to throw waitstaff off balance and then you have to go through 10 painful minutes of how they love your accent and where are you from and how they're saving to go to England......
