Ordering オーダーをする

Q.
May I take your order?
ご注文は 何に なさいますか?
GOCHUUMON WA NANI NI NASAIMASUKA?
日本語 
take=取る
order = 注文。日本でもオーダーと言います。
オーダーを取る時に言い方は色々とあります。たとえば:What would you like to order? , Are you ready to order sir/mam?
are you ready= 準備はいい?
English
CHUUMON= order.  GO is a prefix added when you are asking for a certain piece of information from someone such as, order or address etc. 
NASAIMASUKA=to do.  This is only used by a one who serves such as a waiter , waitress, maid or servant etc.

 A.
 I will have the Blue Cheese B.L.T. Burger set please.  
ブルーチーズB.L.T. バーガーをお願いします。
BURU-CHI-ZU BI- ERU TI- WO ONEGAISHIMASU. 
日本語 
will have=にします
English
When you see a dash which is normally only used in a foreign words it extends the vowel sound.  
The ,"I",  is pronounced like the long e vowel sound in English.
Since the Japanese alphabet does not consist of the letters L or R like in the English language, here is a hint on how to pronounce it: It is similar to rolling your tongue in the Spanish language only you do not roll it more than once.  It is like the sound you can make when you copy a cat purring but only let your tongue bounce off of the roof of your mouth once and quickly, without making it sound awkward.  With a little bit of practice you should have it in no time!  Good Luck!
