I am brazilian and I like practicing my english here.
But, I have been realising that my questions are not welcomed.
I know the cultural differences between the english and latin people, but I really do not understand why I always get ironic answers, and swear at me.
Is it so difficult just to answer, without feel that I am atacking you?
When I went to england/london last year, I saw the kind and polite people. It was very nice. But when I ask some more personal things, I get only agressive answers, as I was saying absurd things (see my question about drink - Should I specify amount?)
What is the bether way to talk with the english? Never talking about personal things? Taking care with words that seems to generalize people?
Maybe you do not realize this because you are inside your culture. But for me, a person from other country... it is not pleasant.
What I feel is that the polite and the ironic and agression are very close.... Strange.
Maybe I should never appear here again
