Start by choosing a new recipe you wish to learn, and then label all the ingredients in the language you are learning. This way you will have a reason to be reading the words. Find festive dishes that are important during holidays or other celebrations and gain an understanding of the origin. Food reflects societal values and customs in many cultures.
A great way to test your skills it to follow a cooking video in a different language! This way you will have visual aids but the added challenge of listening to and understanding the directions
Have fun with it and host a dinner party. This allows for the opportunity to execute several international recipes and practice your skills at the table. Even simple terms like “thank you” or “enjoy your meal”.
Keep a cooking journal where you write the most common vocabulary terms or phrases down to reference as you come across them
To make the most of this, keep a vocabulary journal. Write down new words and phrases as you come across them, along with their meanings and any relevant context. Review these regularly to reinforce your memory.
