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.
Getting Started
Take a few moments to write a short paragraph in English, describing your favorite restaurant. What do you like to eat there? Who do you usually go with? Describe the atmosphere of the restaurant. Are there things about the restaurant that you do not like? If so, what are they?
