Food & Drink

Natural word combinations for talking about food, cooking, and dining

はじめに

食べ物の語彙は、料理名を知っているだけでは足りません。ネイティブスピーカーは、一緒に使うと自然に聞こえる特定の単語の組み合わせを使います。「strong coffee」であって「powerful coffee」じゃない、「rich flavour」であって「heavy flavour」じゃない。こうしたコロケーションは、食べ物の話をするとき流暢に聞こえるために欠かせません。

この章では、味や食感の表現からレストランでの注文、料理法の話まで、最もよく使われる食べ物・飲み物のコロケーションを学びます。
