Module 5: Au restaurant

France is known internationally for its outstanding cuisine. This reputation is well-deserved, as many of the world's most popular dishes and cooking techniques originated in this region. A trip to France or any other francophone country would not be complete without sampling the wonderful variety of food and drink. In this module, you will learn the skills necessary to enjoy the culinary aspects of French-speaking cultures. You will not only learn to discuss different types of food and drink, but you will also learn to successfully order in a restaurant or café.
