How many of you have ever been stuck for a word while food shopping in France? Or struggled with a comprehension passage based on recipes and ingredients?

A fun way to improve your vocabulary for food and shopping is to browse through a French supermarket on line! You can even do your full week’s shopping, learning the vocabulary for the things you buy most. Just remember not to hit the ‘Payez’ button or you may end up paying a fortune in delivery charges!

Here is a link to a large French supermarket, Carrefour. http://www.ooshop.com/ Happy shopping and learning.
