{Events} Cooking Up English

A few weeks ago, I was asked to participate in an event being held by Cooking Up English.  This program uses cooking as a tool to teach English. The program is intended for those learning English as a second language. Weekly classes, conversation partners, and simple challenges encourage students to practice what they learn in class. 

My husband and I love to cook and I love this idea by teaching through cooking.  Talk about a fun way to learn a second language.  

Cupcake toppers I made for the event.
