How the United States immediately recognize ours and understand where the meek citizen came from
Many people dream of living in the United States. However, moving It does not guarantee that you will become a successful American and your life will change. It will take years for someone to break the habits of the past and integrate into a new society. Some people will not be able to tame their Slavic roots.
GettyImages What exactly do our people stand out for? Today, the editors will tell you on what grounds you can calculate a foreigner (Russian, for example) among Americans. If you live in America now, do you recognize yourself?
Let’s start with one of the most obvious signs: an accent. Of course, if you are fluent in English and practice constantly, over time your speech will come close to the ideal. However, most Native Americans immediately calculate what the foreigner says to them.
The interesting thing is that depending on your accent, you can become Russian, Irish and German. Without even knowing it. The United States is a multi-national state, in which there are countless different kinds of talk.
The second thing that betrays the Russian among Americans is eating habits. For example, in Slavic countries, people are used to preparing food for the future. Soup or borscht can be eaten at least 2-3 days, the same with second courses. In the United States, people often buy semi-finished products or ready-made dishes.
GettyImages also like to eat out, which they do quite often. We go to a cafe or restaurant on occasion, but not every day. In addition, Americans have a kind of gradation of dishes. They will not eat for breakfast what is customary to serve for lunch, and so on.
Despite the fact that people from all over the world live in America, the local mentality cannot be confused with anything. The courtesy and openness of Americans immediately catches the eye. They will smile and ask you how you are doing. An unsophisticated foreigner may be surprised by the excessive openness of local residents.
In turn, Russian people behave more restrained and covertly. Outwardly, they seem more sullen than cheerful. You can often see some kind of incredulity in your eyes. What do you say?
It also differs and style. For an American, the main thing is that the clothes are comfortable and comfortable. He can wear the first thing that comes to hand, and not worry about what others think of him.
GettyImages Russians, however much they deny it, want to stand out. For example, at the first opportunity, our woman will definitely wear heeled shoes and make up brightly. In America, they prefer comfortable shoes at low speed and do not soar about a ton of cosmetics on the face.
In the United States, people are not afraid to experiment. What seems ridiculous to our people will look stylish and harmonious. Of course, we can calculate ours by Slavic appearance, if we are talking about Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians.
The American sets goals and achieves them. He is not afraid of any obstacles, and he will do everything to achieve his goal. The Russian is easy to confuse. He can. blame external circumstanceswhich prevented him from getting better. This is clearly seen in the attitude of local residents and expats to work.
GettyImages In America, people know how to stand up for their point of view. This is what they have been taught since childhood. They are not afraid that someone will disagree with them. The Russian person may be embarrassed, he would rather be silent than say. To live in the United States, first of all, you need to learn to talk banally and stand your ground.
The American pace of life will simply crush those who are not ready for it. It is important to define your personal boundaries and protect them. It will be possible to join society if you sincerely want it and begin to understand the locals. Anyway, Moving to America will be a test.. But you can easily overcome it if you deliberately prepare for it.
GettyImages If you have lived in the States for a long time, share your experience with us. How difficult was it to move and settle in a new country? How quickly did you get through the adjustment phase? We look forward to your comments!

I strongly tolerate criticism of the Easter dessert "Rafaello", I will be grateful for the corrections to the recipe.
It is a shame for our women, I cite as an example wise Arab women who do not agree to heaven in a hut.
