Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Catherine and today we have an advanced level lesson for you guys all about food.
What kind of food are we talking about today, Marco?
Today we're talking about cheese.
So there's so many different types of cheese, so many varieties.
So we're going to take a look at these varieties.
You may know them or not,
but we're also going to take a look at the pronunciation
because most of them are either Italian or French.
So how do you pronounce these in maybe in American English?
Let's listen to our dialogue for the first time and we'll be back in a moment to talk about the wonderful world of cheese.
Hello everyone, my name is Lori and I want to welcome you to this course.
We will learn all about one of the oldest yet most delicious foods on this planet, cheese.
Let's get started.
Cheese is usually categorized into four types.
Soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard.
The designation refers to the amount of moisture in the cheese, which directly affects its texture.
Making cheese is an ancient practice, dating back thousands of years,
and the home cheese maker can usually find recipes for cheese that fall into any of the four categories.
