    You're right, Americans would ask for the manager when something isn't right with their order. When I visited the States and asked for the manager, my German friends got really embarrassed. It is a cultural thing.
    Slang is a challenge. Nobody teaches you to talk that way in school. Also an expression like "you're good?" can have so many different meanings. Understanding the context is very important.
    Thanks for teaching patiently and explaining your culture.

    1. Native English speakers smile a lot. 2. Code switching, using slang and different vocabulary when speaking to friends. 3. We speak up and we are direct. 4. Don’t worry about mistakes. 5. Self-confidence, we’re more like my to try things out of out comfort zone. 6. Inside jokes. 7. We ask for managers!

One remark is, I make a lot of mistakes, but I don't want to do this. It doesn't depend on the culture, I tend to get perfection. (I know how I am far from ...)Thanks a lot for the lesson!

Some people prefer not to be so direct in order not to offend others. However, there are others who are direct , those who are extrovert, especially those living on the Atlantic Coast . Anyway , I like your video and I learned a lot from it. Thank you so much,

    Terrific Lesson 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 , That's what I was talking about , I mean , this lesson is perfect for my goals in English 👍 you were straight to the point , as always !
    1 - SMILE 😃
    We're similar in this point 🎯 , We always smile for people every time , wether they're unknown people or close friends
    2 - CODE SWITCHING
    I particularly appreciate it , that depending on the atmosphere you are , you need to exchange all the process of the communication into refined to slangs and so on ...
    I love the diversity and how creative we can be by the situations presented for us
    3 - SPEAK UP
    TO BE DIRECT
    I'll pass the ball ⚽ 🏀🏈
    Gabby , I got the idea that you explained but , it sounds creepy to Me , I'm not saying that it's a cultural thing , because there are people around the whole World and they're direct
    I personally don't like of this kinda behavior , it doesn't mean that I'm fake or that I think that people who like of this Attitude are rude ...
    I agree that YES and NO when they're said in a right way are so much helpful but , depending on the situation they can hurt or offend somebody .
    The point always were , are , and will be in DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION ...
    Sometimes I prefer to use of the subterfuges or joking on something to say hard truth but , it's just Me ...
    In another hand , if somebody ask Me something specially important , I say it right like it is but , slightly , soft , delicately

    I don't know, as I see this confidence in life, come from that you learn English many years I mean of course in my native language I speak very differently and I don't think a lot about what I say because If I don't pay attention or misunderstand something then nobody will care about at least, not me because I am comfortable with it. So the most difference between a native speaker and a learner that the learners want to achieve, reach something they afraid of failing and make mistakes while the native speakers just feel it and do it.

    We do speak up also when we face problems. We aren't that direct... for instance, if a friend invites you for dinner and you don't want to go, I'll mostly make something up, I won't just say "No. I don't want to".
    We also do think the customer is always right, and I would've just done the same thing your friend did on the plane...lol.

    Hi Gabby. I'm Brazilian and here in Brazil, we don't really smile for everybody. Thinking about it, it'll be kind of weird or even creepy if someone that I don't know just smile for me. By the way, some people could see it in the wrong way. But the truth is: it's cute, sweet. It should be more common in the whole world to smile for another person, even you don't know them and said the common greetings (good morning, afternoon, evening).
    About to be direct, it's a wonderful thing in my opinion. No circles. Straight to the point. Of course, nobody needs to be rude and some subjects are sensitive, but........ Sometimes I keep walking in circles to say something that has to be said and a lot of people really do that here and, by the way, sometimes we don't even say what we need or think.
    When I traveled to Paris in 2014, for example, and I hadn't even started to study English I couldn't speak very well, so I usually started saying "Sorry, I can't speak English very well..." I don't do it anymore. I'm learning and it's ok to make mistakes and I probably made mistakes in this comment. It's part of learning.
    I enjoy/love so much your videos!!!!

    I suppose compared to some more indirect cultures (as opposed to perhaps more dynamic/passionate cultures), Americans are more direct, speak up more, and ask to speak to the manager more, but it seems to me that in general, the majority of us don't usually do these things. Even if you look at television, where people are unrealistically candid to the point of having screaming fights with co-workers, we see lots of references to people being uncomfortable sending their food back, asking for the manager, and giving frank replies if someone might be upset, and in those situations we see other characters often being embarrassed by these behaviors. It may depend on what part of the U.S. too, and I know there are plenty of people who don't care what people think about them, but I think most of us do care. I wouldn't tell someone if I didn't like their shirt, unless they hadn't bought it yet. I probably wouldn't ask to speak to the manager unless it was a really big deal. But I do sometimes send my food back, but I'm polite about it. (I think the best way to tell if people are decent is how they treat service people and animals.)

    I think it is funny that you say english speakers are direct. Because as a german I have got this feedback so often form native english speakers that we germans seem to be so offensive because we are so direct.
