Not sure why I decided to watch this even though I’m American myself but I really enjoyed this video! Greetings from Texas ❤️

I love this video! I'm not sure if this is a stereotypical trait, but I love the way Americans are so down-to-earth and they don't really care about people's opinion.

People in my country are quite friendly, and they have warm feelings and empathy for each others

An amazing video! Thank you so much. I enjoyed it very much. A British colleague told me what he had lived at an American restaurant in NewYork. The waiter had asked him whether he wanted soup or salad. My colleague had understood it as super salad. He had thought since Americans offered food in big portions, the waiter was asking him about the size of the salad. So everytime he was answering by saying that he wanted super salad. But the waiter was continually asking him whether he wanted soup or salad. Every time he was answering by saying super salad. The conversation was going on like a yo-yo.
-Soup or salad?
-Super salad.
-Soup or salad?
-Super salad.
-Soup or salad?
-Salad.
Finally, he had realized what the waiter had meant. And he had answered by saying salad. I laugh a lot, whenever this conversation comes to my mind.

Brazilians are very optimistic as well, we don't let the bad moment consume us, we try, we fight, we smile a lot, we're also always happy, mostly see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today lesson is very interesting.I didn't know about Americans's stereotype.Because of you tell about this very well, I now know many of stereotypes of America. And this is very different from my country, in Asia.Thank you, Vanessa.☺️

OMG Vanessa... you did it again!!!
This is a very interesting way of knowing more about your country... our stereotypes in Honduras are:
1. We are pessimists 😔
2. We are hard workers
3. We love soccer (we called it futbol)
4. Unfortunately there isn't empathy 😥
5. We treat visitors as family (I'm not sure if treat is the correct word in this case)

In India there's various types of food, veg, fruit, beans and most importantly spices for that India specially known as.
So when someone wants to eat something special so they'd like to try street food which is delicious, like sunami of flavour and it's really cheap or healthy and vegetarian

No, in my country (Kazakhstan) people usually cook at home and do not eat out in fastfood restaurants on regular basis

[jessicashih]

What an inspirational, informative and interesting lesson, thanks. Really blow my mind. I remember coming across an American family at the southest tip of Taiwan, aka Kenting National Park seven years ago. They just ate some fruits for lunch instead of burgers, fries, etc. That experience really turned over my stereotype about Americans.
Best regards.

Hello Vanessa, It is absolutely true following your clip video, my English teacher is American. He is very optimistic and good technical teaching in his class, It is not boring when I study English with him. And also he can speak Thai well because he has Thai wife.

[TanyaOlivarria]

I loved this video and used it in my class. She stays neutral and gives fair perspectives. Great video!

Vanessa, I just can't explain how educative, delightful and engrossing the video was!!!Okay. This should make it clear: I was doing maths, but instead ended up watching this video to the end, procrastinating!!!!

Thank you😍🙏🏻
I'm from Iran and that was really interesting to me😍🌹🙏🏻
People around the world think we are people of war and bloodshed, but in fact we are not like that at all and there's nothing we hate more than wars and enmity between countries or people.

To be precise, the first telephone was invented by the Italian Antonio Santin Giuseppe Meucci. Yes, he moved to New York at the age of 42, but still he is an Italian and he conducted his first scientific research when he was still living in Cuba.
