Would you correct my English? (Oct.7)

Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you check them?

No. 1

M: Do you believe in ghosts?

F: Of course. I've seen them many times.

M: Really? Aren't you afraid of them?

F: Never. I'm used to seeing them.

No. 2

F: Hi, welcome home. Dinner's almost ready.

M: Wow, that's really sweet of you. It smells good.

What's ( on the menu ) for dinner?

F: Nothing special, but humberger steak and French fries.

( Q. Should we say "steaks"? )

Thank you! kenta

I'd say "hamburger steaks," although I'm not sure what they are. "Welcome home" would not be normal in this case, unless a friend or relative is speaking, and has prepared the meal. Generally, it would only be appropriate for a member of the household to welcome someone to a home.
