![]() ![]() You need real world English, that's why I do this podcast. And no matter how good the menu is, even if the description's amazing, it will never really give you the experience of eating the actual food. The menu is an abstraction, the meal is the real thing. You would get no taste or smell or nutrition from eating the menu. You can try, but you'd only be eating paper. It's all in your head, it's all an abstraction. But that's not real, you're just imagining. When you read the menu, you'll get some ideas in your mind about what the dish will be, how it might taste, how it might smell. When you go to a restaurant, you look at the menu, it's a piece of paper. Learning English can sometimes be an abstraction. An abstraction is an idea but not the actual thing. Have you ever heard of an abstraction? This is probably a new word to you but the meaning is not new to you at all.
