? about Cordon Bleu
I got a PDF from the school. They describe several day courses which have "English translation". I am not sure what this means. Is the class done in English?..or what?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good question. After reading the brochure on line at http://www.cordonbleu.edu/Pictures/3...etbrochure.pdf, I would have the same. Even though I think the answer is "yes" I suggest an email to them.

I had a look as well,and I'd be inclined to think that where it says "the course is translated into English", that the chef/tutor is going to be speaking in French, but a translator then translates it to English for the Anglophones present.

Having a translator is only distracting if you speak both languages. I find if I go to a movie in French and have eng subtitles I have to avoid looking at them or look only at the ST and block my ears. Otherwise I miss both. I only once had a situation as described. Again very distractiong as I kept picking up bits of both..But I have been in social settings (admittedly tired and a bit "mellow" where the company was French and English but we were speaking English that evening. One of my friends (who is Francophone but speaks excellent English) asked me a question in English and I replied in French and was unaware of the switch. I guess I just was in autopilot and as I usually spoke French with him..maybe was a bit drunk.

hdm... we took the petit fours class. It wasn't my choice, my dear daughter has a major sweet tooth! LOL
I would choose the Market course where you go to the market in the morning, find what's good and come back and cook it.
I think the bread course sounds interesting as well.
Think about what you want to bring home as left overs... there are lots!
