| INTRODUCTION |
| In South Africa, there are many delicious dishes! We have already covered how to order them, but not how to eat them! However, that is not always so straightforward. In this lesson, we will learn to ask, "How do you eat this?" |
| BODY |
| In Afrikaans, "How do you eat this?" is Hoe eet jy dit? |

| Now, we will talk about something that may come in handy for those who don’t like spicy dishes. South African cuisine is not known for being particularly spicy, but from time to time, you might find dishes that are actually very hot. If you want to make sure, ask "Is this hot?” In Afrikaans, this is, Is dit warm? |

| Next, we have warm, which means "hot, spicy." |

| All together, we have Is dit warm? ”Is this hot?" |
