Let's learn the names of various kitchen utensils with Luana! We'll start with the utensils used to prepare and cook food, such as tongs, sifters, graters, knives, cutting boards, pots and pans...

In the second part of this lesson, Luana goes through the kitchen items we use to serve and eat our food, and explains how and when they are used.

Rachel's English: For some people, "s" and "sh" sound the same. As Rachel explains, the positions for these two sounds are quite different. Learn the difference in tongue and lip position, and practice with minimal pairs.

Here are some verbs that are handy when plans change. This segment features "to postpone," "to delay," "to procrastinate," and "to put off."

It's time to think fast again! This time it's a little harder, but focus on the words you know or recognize, and you might be able to guess the answer, even if you don't know the exact word in English. If you don't get all the answers, just watch the video again!

In this game, following the description is just as important, if not more important, than guessing the answer in English. Try visualizing what Sigrid is describing. You can also give yourself more time by hitting "pause" while the clock is ticking.

Sigrid describes her day using verbs in the simple past tense. Each verb will flash on the screen in the past tense with the infinitive in parentheses, just in case you need a little help. There is even a vegetarian pasta recipe included!

Sigrid muses about how much she loves this time of year and time of day where she lives in Italy. If she had one complaint, it would be: too much green!
