    As a typical Persian family we cover all over our houses surface with carpets and then we cover them with rugs and sometimes we even cover the rugs with other kind of carpet.
    We even cover our blankets by a piece of sheet so they don’t get dirty.
    Also we have an annual tradition of cleaning and washing all over the house, specially the carpets. It takes place two our three weeks before our holiday, “Nowrooz”.
    Great lessons though. I’ve learned a lot about your culture and found out we have many things in common. 👌

    Hello everyone, Hello Andrea .
    I used to go to London four times a year, like once a season before this epidemic . I am French. In the UK, it is said that you do everything in a different way. You drive on the left side of the road, you have a different counting system, you use different plugs, etc.... It is not easy for foreigners to adapt to your customs. But what took my breath away was your politeness. It's a peace of mind. I was stunned when I watched people standing quietly in the queue, I was stunned in the metro when I watched people getting on the train after everyone got off, I was stunned in the metro by the silence. It's a lot of calm and serenity. Nevertheless, what I find distressing is the high prices of the universities. In France, education is free. And this is a real advantage.

    Thank you, Andrea, for another great lesson! I’ve learnt a lot about British culture and, among other things, I’m very impressed by the English politeness.
    But, referring to what you said about the custom of giving up a seat, being so common in the UK, I’d like to share with you my personal experience. When I was in London in 1978 (!) as a young boy, some day I gave up my seat on the Tube to an elderly lady. She couldn’t believe it and many other people around seemed to be quite astonished by what I was doing. Then, I asked a friend of mine, who had lived in the UK for a few years, and he explained me that the custom of giving up a seat to somebody else was very little known in Britain, so it might be considered a little bit strange.
    But, as I said, it was 42 years ago.

    Hi Andrea, I'm fun of your videos and I loved it so much. My vocabulary knowledge is developed because of your videos. Your culture and Turkish culture include something same and different. For instance; 1, 14, 18 and 22 are same, but 25 and 27 are completely different. We are also crazy about drinking tea. Sometimes we drink more than 6 cups of tea per day. Thanks for everything that you taught me.

  • @pageandmic
    @pageandmic 3 місяці тому

    Okay, it's official: I'm British.😄
    I'm from and live in Germany (sweet greetings by the wayx), but apart from three points, I completely agree with what you said. Self-tanning isn't as common here and I would never go out without a jacket in winter, but otherwise it's pretty similar to the UK.
    Okay, but you'd probably find less Yorkshire pudding, toad in the hole (I don't think it looks like a toad at all, more like caterpillars:)) here and I don't drink alcohol either, but I do love tea. I actually drink more tea than coffee. If I do drink coffee, it's lupine coffee or malt coffee, but not so often. I still prefer hot or cold tea.🫖🍵
    Here in Germany, the weather is always like a surprise package. On the same day, it can be 35 °C (yes, 35 °C is already hot for me) and then suddenly there's a storm with heavy rain. But I love that so much. I love it when the weather is varied and it's not 35°C every day:D
    In my current apartment I also have carpet in the bedroom, but only because the floor isn't nice and secondly it can get really cold here in winter, especially the floor. The carpet insulates quite well.
    About dialects and accents, according to statistics there are around 20 different dialects in Germany. I live near Berlin, so north-east of Germany, and when a Bavarian or Thuringian starts speaking in their dialect, I don't understand anything:D
    I also use emojis very often, just to make it clear that I meant something as a joke. My sense of humor is sometimes a bit weird. We Germans are also said to be very rude and to counteract that I like to use emojis. It's also a funny way to illustrate what I'm writing.🙃😊

      Yes, if you're watching them as they're being broadcast.

So you DO NOT NEED a TV licence if you have a TV, only if you watch TV programmes while they're being broadcast. I'm afraid Andrea got that one very, very wrong!

And also most people have carpets in their home. We are famous our ancient carpets btw. And the queue situation is the same yours. If somebody try to pass front of you, the people warn to he/she. Also we buy something too when we visit as guest somewhere. And the most of things.... Anyways our culture so similar yours.
