To understand Americans and communicate with them more fruitfully, you need to know how they relate to a person in their country, as well as what are the features that are unique to this nation.
Instructions
Step 1
When dealing with Americans, show those aspects of your personality by which they are used to evaluating the average person. Be sure to smile. This should become the hallmark of your behavior. A smile for an American is a symbol of success, a way of life, an obligatory habit, such as brushing your teeth or having breakfast in the morning. She carries nothing but a smile and a good mood. Please note that this is how they behave with any passer-by.
Step 2
Don't overstep the boundaries of openness. Despite the fact that in the United States people are sociable and open, friendly hugs and kisses are not accepted there when they meet, as, for example, in some regions of Russia. Do not "go too far" and do not violate either a person's personal space or his inner world by asking too intimate questions. Respect yourself and him.
Step 3
Forget your failures in life. America is one of those countries where the qualities of a leader, perseverance in achieving goals, and the skills to defend their own point of view are cultivated from childhood. Of course, this does not mean at all that they are indifferent to the problems of other people. But no American would listen to your stories of injustice and life's hardships.
Step 4
Respect the individuality of Americans and express your own. This behavior will give them the opportunity to feel at their "own plate" and will be conducive to more interesting communication. In America, it is customary to decide independently how to spend personal free time, it is very much appreciated there. If you intend to arrange, for example, a seminar, a festive evening or a walk out of town, discuss and agree on all the details of these events in advance to avoid possible misunderstandings. Show that you also value every minute and are interested in punctuality and responsibility.
Step 5
Keep in mind that even the closest American friend may refuse to communicate if he has other plans for the specified time. If you find yourself in a similar situation, do not be offended, because they just won't understand you and won't even explain what the matter is. At first, this behavior may seem too selfish to you, but it is this that has instilled in the nation a respectful attitude towards other people, respect for human rights, his personal space, etc.
