The manifesto promotes a cuisine based on simplicity, purity, and freshness, one that reflects the different seasons. The purpose of the manifesto was simply to boost the consumption, and…

relationship between language and culture is known to be confusing with no clear distinction on how to separate the two. Language must be learned in order to communicate with the people who speak it as their native tongue, and culture must be understood in order to act in accordance with the social norms of society.

The juicy steak, cheese, and other vegetables will be your juicy evidence. And the bottom bun will be your conclusion.” Linnéa’s English teacher explains while drawing a model of it on the board. “You must think we Americans are crazy, all that talk about hamburgers.” Linnéa’s teacher laughs, and everyone laughs along.

My mother was the one who originally taught me English, as well as my grandfather who was a U.S. Marine and would always speak English to all of my family. My mother was an English teacher so that facilitated my learning experience as well as fixing accent and grammatical errors. Coming to America I…
