In the United States, summer means it's time for corn. Let's get acquainted with this popular vegetable.

Sigrid shows us how to prepare the corn for cooking. She also tells us how it is eaten in the United States.

Sigrid goes on a hike, sees some edible greens, and decides to go back with the right equipment. As you will see, foraging is her idea of fun.

Back home, Sigrid works out on her terrace preparing the greens she has picked. She will cook the lambsquarters, but she'll eat the purslane raw, as a salad. She also has some regrets about one missed opportunity.

Sigrid finishes preparing her simple lunch using the wild greens she had gathered that morning.

Sigrid talks about the uncountable noun "the asparagus." We mostly talk about asparagus in the singular, even when we have a fistful of stalks or spears.

We're out and about with Sigrid on a winter day in Tuscany. It's warm enough that she just might find some wild asparagus. You'll hear her use some conditional constructions with "if."

Gaby Moreno sings plaintively, asking how long she might wait for her beloved’s return... it’s as if she knows that this relationship has already slipped through her hands.

Gaby Moreno's plaintive voice laments the loneliness and regret of lost love in this soulful live version of “O, Me” from her album Illusion. "O" is an old-fashioned spelling of "Oh," and is often found in poems and songs.
