5 things NOT to do in America

[@mosesalexander3219]

In my country Indonesia you can bargain only in traditional market and some of mall is allowed you to bargain but not in mini market or big mall. They have fix price.

I remember my dad pounding into my head how important it was (as an American male) to have a firm handshake & good eye contact. He made it sound like you weren't a man if you didn't do so

[@BoilingDietCoke]

We both have good dad knowledge. 👍

It’s really great to know more American cultures along with learning new phrases! They’re so different from Taiwan

[@CloudEnglish]

What’s a faux pas on Taiwan?

[@jeanhu4786]

Learn English with Cloud English 5. We don’t often shake hand 🤝 4. We also think it’s polite to make eye contact 👁 3. We usually ask others’ opinions 2. We often haggle for discounts, especially in tourist spots or night market’s stands 1. We don’t tip

[@BoilingDietCoke]

There is only 1 American culture. If you think otherwise, you have lost the message, and should never come here.

Ok

[@BoilingDietCoke]

A handshake is very important. If you happen to give a dead fish, you have all the right to say "may I shake your hand again" (stick your hand out first) provided by a real handshake. Do NOT EVER leave a dead fish handshake. Ask/demand a new handshake, like I said above.

[@hongweidu9951]

Can I ask, ‘ Is there any discount?’

[@Mc_och_vandring]

Is it okay to negotiate a price in a antique store?

[@CloudEnglish]

Yes. That’s the kind of place where bargaining still happens.

5 things you shouldn't do, but we Americas do it anyway.

[@Enriquemba1]

You mean United States. America is a continent.

[@CloudEnglish]

Actually, America is not a continent. North America is one. South American is one. 'America' is the simple proper noun given to 'The United States of America' for a number of reasons, one of which being the requirement for an adjective.

[@diane5140]

@@CloudEnglish Why not call the United States of America by its name? The USA, the States etc. It's strange and sounds arrogant to hear it called America.

[@cloudenglishlessons]

@@diane5140 Force of habit. Also, if you were to travel the planet and as people 'what is that country there on the map?' - 'America' would be the primary answer, way more than 'The USA' or 'The States'. As a teacher, I use the name I know most people will recognize, because I know that many people, believe it or not, don't recognize the other two.

[@diane5140]

@@cloudenglishlessons Really? I live amongst an expat community in Rome and have previously lived in other large cities such as in Moscow and in Montreal and I rarely hear it being called American apart from by Americans themselves. Anyway, to each their own!
