Free Spanish Food
Free Spanish Food – meals of the day and the verb Gustar are all on the menu!
WELCOME to MyTeacherDave.com
In the Junior Cert. exam, the last section (Q17 or Q18) is what I like to call “Personal Paragraphs“. These are small paragraphs you write about yourself – usually about 4 sentences per paragraph.
A super-common topic in this question is FOOD – or even better, what foods you like or what you normally eat etc.
For the Leaving Cert., the topic of FOOD is also very important.
Let’s build our vocabulary of meals, types of food and how to express if we like something or not.

“Teacher Dave is great because the classes are tailored to the student and you can concentrate on what you need most. I have learnt so much in a few short weeks. Furthermore, I have gained so much confidence in speaking Spanish that I never had before. This is because we chat in Spanish in an easy and relaxed manner. Dave gives so much time to your improvement and is really invested in your progress”.

I am a Doctor (PhD) of Linguistics with Spanish and English now, but I actually started Spanish as a hobby 18 years ago with zero idea of the language! I made all the mistakes, worked really hard, became an expert (a Doctor!) and developed the best ways to learn properly and retain what I learned.
As a teacher, I dedicate everything I do to show you how to improve, love the language and know what it’s like to be successful with it.
