Having Fun At The Supermarket With English Vocabulary

Together we have explored dining in a restaurant, traveling, communicating in the workplace.  Now it is time to have fun while shopping at a supermarket.

Years ago I didn’t like going to the supermarket, but it turns out I love it now.  I enjoy picking fresh fruits, reading nutrition labels and stocking up with fantastic food for the week.  

That’s when I realized that it is a great start to incorporate vocabulary words that are common while shopping at your local supermarket.  Are you ready?  

I will repeat the process.  This week we will learn the new words and next week we will use them in a sentence. Have fun and always reach out to me if you have any questions.  Here we go.
