How did you enjoy the tasting lesson? We practiced how to describe the taste and texture of food while eating different foods. More advanced students also used this opportunity to learn which adjectives have comparative and superlative forms. They practiced using other adjectives that must take the form “more or most” when comparing the taste or texture of one food to one or more similar foods. Followings are examples of adjectives we studied:
sweet mushy salty fresh
sour crunchy burnt rotten
bitter crispy raw stale
hot delicate tangy delicious
spicy smooth hard tasty
sticky lumpy soft tasteless
dry chewy fishy bland
juicy bubbly pungent creamy
CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ADJECTIVES NEED MORE OR MOST?
Any students liked this lesson. One intermediate student who often entertains foreigners when they visit his company said, “Now, I can be more talkative when I have dinner in restaurants with foreigners. This kind of lesson was very helpful for me”. We plan to have other lessons like the tasting lesson in the future. We have been requested to do an encore of this lesson again in March. We will add an additional program to coincide with the tasting party that will focus on dinner conversation with foreigners and how to start a conversation with someone you have never met at a party.
