Learning Through Hunger

In French class, we are on the much-anticipated food chapter. Tonight, at 7:30pm, the cooking class across the hall filled our room with savory smells like garlic and meat. My light virtuous lunch of salad and yogurt became a source of profound regret as my stomach searched for something to digest. After struggling through a reading comprehension exercise about la cuisine grecque – des traditionels souvalakis, Tiropitta, Melitzanosalata – we practiced saying Je prefere la glace and J’aime beaucoup le frommage. So true. So very, very true. J’ai faim. J’ai faim. Hunger drove everything else from my brain, but I will certainly never forget those words.
