Mini English lesson
Im starting to feel that my blog is really becoming a blog that teaches English. Ah well... who cares? Nobody does.
A CONCIERGE is someone in a hotel who helps guests with restaurant reservations or concert tickets. The word comes from a French term, "comte des cierges," which means "keeper of the candles."
A MAESTRO is someone who composes or conducts classical music. It means "master" in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
A DIVA is (traditionally) a great female opera singer, usually sopranos. More recently, it has been used to describe such modern female superstar performers. The word is deorived from the Latin "divina", meaning "divine one."
A MAITRE D' often works as a restaurant or catering hall and is responsible for assigning seating and sloving customer complains.
In a restaurant, if you order ALA CARTE, it means you order the dishes in your meal seperately, rather than from a fixed menu. And if you dine ALFRESCO, it means you are eating outdoors.
