Foriegn Languages
If you are within a group of mainly English -Speaking people and the conversation is in
English, it is not polite to speak in your own or another foreign language for more than a
few sentences.

Making Conversation
Americans become fairly intimate and personal in conversation. An accepted conversation
starter is “What do you do?” meaning, “ what do you do for a living?”. “ Do you have any
brothers or sisters ?” is also a safe question.
Some Americans can spend a great deal of time in casual social circumstances talking
about astrology.
