Description
The purpose of this activity is to compare different habits and ways of preparing coffee in various cultures, to research the words ‘milk’ and ‘coffee’ in different languages and thereby to learn how to use an electronic translation device.

The pre-activity requires internet access, as the learners are asked to research different methods of preparing coffee in various cultures.
Afterwards, the pupils discuss habits concerning coffee in different cultures, focusing on different opinions about teenagers and children drinking coffee.

With Worksheet 3 and 4, the pupils familiarise with the language tools of the Internet and how to handle online dictionaries such as the google translator.
