While living and learning in our language villages, our goal is that participants experience their contact culture of choice with all their senses.  Thus we offer meals specifically catered to the chosen language and culture.  

Our senses of smell and taste bear a unique burden on memory.  Knowledge learned in association with these senses persists long after visual memories have faded.  Each meal at the language village is served with a lively presentation by the instructors including interesting information about the regional cuisine.

If we are what we eat, then culture-specific cuisine helps bring us one step closer to total immersion.
