Let’s start with some simple questions to get the conversation going:
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: Tell me more about your country’s food - what is the most famous dish? What types of food would you eat normally? What about for special holidays?
- 🌍 Student asks: What about Canadian food - what is it? What do you usually cook at home? What about for Canadian holidays?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: What restaurants have you visited in your new Canadian city? Do you have a favourite yet?
- 🌍 Student asks: What about you, what are your favourite restaurants? (If you both live in the same city, let’s get specific with recommendations!)
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: How do restaurants in your area compare to restaurants back home?
- 🌍 Student asks: How often do you eat out? In Canada, how much are you supposed to tip at a restaurant?
- 🇨🇦 Canadian asks: When you go to a restaurant or coffee shop, are you confident when ordering and speaking with the employees?
Exercises: Fun and interactive lessons you can go through together!
