Hello.
This course of culture is so interesting, and I am interested to learn many things.Studying language means learn not only pronunciation and grammar, but also customs and traditions so is important to investigate the country and people who speak the language. Our country is visited for people who like our customs they say " I like costarican because they are kind and friendly people" thas one of the most important thing that characterize costarican.But also we have difficult things for foreigners like not to be puntual.
American culture has interesting aspects that we do not have like I wrote before puntuality, but i thing that costarican are kinder than american people and this is for me a really important aspect in a person, but is important to respect every person with his or her customs and beliefs.
If i could change something about costarican culture i would change the the personality of people who cares how people look because I thing we should to respect each other.
Hi Andrea!
ResponderEliminarThanks for your thoughts. Can you think of any examples of Costa Ricans being especially kind, or especially concerned about how people look? I'm just curious, since you mentioned those being two things that are strong aspects of the culture here.
Thanks, and see you tomorrow!

Hi teacher.
ResponderEliminarWhat i mean is that costarican are kind people, for example. we used to greet and talk to people without them, for example in the bus, in taxes, walking in the streets etc.
But sometimes costarican take much care about how people look what i mean is the fisical appearance, and we are indiscreet so if could change something i would change that.
OK, I think I understand now. It also makes me think... when I lived in Germany, people there always said that Americans were shallow and superficial... do you think that they would say the same about Costa Ricans?
ResponderEliminarNo I do not think so because we are different we like to help people althout we do not know the person, we talk to people althout we dont know them so that make the difference
