That's pretty much the best way to learn a language, not just English. I'm brazilian and I understand basically everything I read and listen to, however I struggle a bit when I have to speak. with this method you guys are using, you don't just learn basic words ("sour", "bitter", "crunchy") but put them in a dialogue with other importants words such as "which I like" "you mean it ?". I'm really greatfull for you guys posting this videos, it's been helping me out a lot. Sorry for the english and greetings from Brazil!

🟢 Conversation 1 (about cuisines):
Marie: What kind of food do you like?
Oli: I like a bit of everything, really.
I grew up in the UK, and you can get food from all over the world there.
My mum’s cooking is a combination of different cuisines: a bit of French, a bit of Italian, a bit of Indian, and so on.
Marie: What’s British cuisine like? I know about fish and chips, but there must be more…
Oli: There’s, but not that much. There are a few famous dishes like shepherd’s pie or Sunday roast, but most people eat a mix of things. What about you? What food do you like?
Marie: Well! I’m half Spanish, so when I was young we ate a lot of Mediterranean food at home. Now I live in Berlin, and it’s a pretty cosmopolitan place, so you can get all kinds of food, like the UK I suppose.
Oli: I’ve never really had much Spanish food. Is it similar to Italian?
Marie: In some ways, yes. They both use a lot of fresh ingredients, and there’s a lot of seafood, salads, and so on. Pasta isn’t so common in Spanish cooking, though.
Oli: What are some typical Spanish dishes? I’d be interested to try some.
Marie: I guess paella is quite well-known. My personal favourite is a dish called albondigas, which is meatballs is a tomato sauce. It’s simple, but so tasty.
Oli: Sounds good!

[@shuailee6484]

I am from North of China and we like eating noodle and steamed bun. That's big different with western food. I shared our different food with a Scottish friend and studied many new vocabulary about food. And then I listened this video that makes me deepen the memory. It's very helpful and useful for studying English. Thanks very much!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for sharing, Shuai! That all sounds great. Here are some tips for your writing:
1) 'I am from the north of China,' not, ''I am from North of China'.
2) '...we like eating noodles and steamed buns,' not, 'noodle...bun'.
3) 'It's very different from western food,' not, 'That's big different with western food'.
Hope this is useful for you!

That's an awesome video. I can learn many things from your lesson. I'm Vietnamese, but I'm studying in Korea. In our place, there is a delicious dish that should be mentioned - Sokoki Yukechan. The beef bone broth of it is really amazing. It's quite spicy but sweet and rich. I hope you can come and enjoy it. You'll remember for the rest of your life :))))).

[@plutonio77]

I'm from Peru. I love Peruvian food so much that I couldn't live without it. Our cuisine is a result of a mix of cultures (Spanish, African, Italian, Japanese and so on). That's why is so unique and delicious. Every dish tells a story. There are so many dishes and one of them is called "Papa a la huancaina" and it's my favourite. This dish has potatoes and a cream made of milk, cheese, soda cookies and some kind of chili known as "ají amarillo". To prepare this dish. First you have to boil the potatoes. Then you have to put the milk, cheese, chili and soda cookies all together in a blender and blend the ingredients. After that, in a plate you have to put some lettuce, upon the lettuce place the potatoes and the cream. You can also put a olive and a piece of egg as decoration.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Excellent response to this video. Thanks for watching. Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'To prepare this dish: First you have to...' not, 'To prepare this dish. First you have to...'
2) '...some lettuce and upon the lettuce place the...' not, '...some lettuce, upon the lettuce place the...'
3) '...put an olive and a...' not, 'a olive.'
Hope this helps you!

Thank you very much for this interesting information. Keep up the good work. I'm Moroccan. We eat mediterenean food. A lot of fish, meat with prunes, tagline with meat balls, roast chicken, stuffed chicken. We use much spices, but we are also open to international cuisines like pasta, pizza, Paela. Cooking habits: 3 meals a day+ eating between meals (casse-croute). Moroccan cuisine is rich and diverse. The famous dishes:couscous and tagine.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing! Here are a few suggestions for your writing:
1) 'roasted chicken' not, 'roast'.
2) 'We use a lot of spices,' not, 'much'.
3) '...pizza, and Paela,' not, '...pizza, Paela'.
Hope this is useful for you!
