Changes in the perception of American culture and English

Hello everyone all around the world,

This Summer course enhanced my American English vocabulary. Before I came here, I mostly knew British English, because it is taught at German schools. Now I came more aware of the differences in these types of English. In contrast to English classes, I learned a lot of slang by our care taking Tutors.

Some friends of mine have already been in the US. From them I heard a lot of stories and they created stereotypes in me. The majority of those stereotype have changed positively and some are still current. Biases are crucial for every country, although they are sometimes negative, you are able to explain them to people, who weren't in these countries.

Regarding culture, I have more learned than in any other trips. I think I will benefit in later business contacts with Americans. In addition I have found out that I don't have any problems in native English speaking countries. Inside there has created a feeling to come back and stay for longer in the US.
