Josielle Cutajar and Ilenia Diacono, are two of my Form 4 students of Spanish. They show keen interest in the Spanish culture and language. Since I know that they enjoy looking up information in the internet I suggested they work together to retype and find pictures of the vocabulary of the four Spanish recipes sent to us by our eTwinning partners from La Rioja. Since some of the ingredients (e.g. los pimientos del piquillo, el chorizo...) are typical Spanish produce, which we do not have, it is important for Maltese students to see a picture to understand what they look like. Some of the most common ingredients: olive oil, salt, tomatoes and garlic are also very much used in our Mediterranean diet.
