Dear Teachers,

1. If I don't cook well tonight, please don't disparage.

2. I'm look forward to enjoying American foods that you cook in person next time.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

They sound a little awkward to me.

The second phrase should read "I'm looking forward to..."

I think I'd prefer " If I don't cook well tonight, please don't make disparaging remarks." but it's still something we probably wouldn't say.
