Food
Trying out dishes from other countries is a good way of widening your appreciation of another country but also a means of increasing your vocabulary, reinforcing use of mainstream verbs and with access to YouTube a good way of tuning into accessible listening exercises in your chosen language. You can start with well known more basic dishes where you can predict the cooking method and chosen ingredients.
