Mind Your Manners

Conversation - A1-A2 | Beginner Level

Description

From bowing in Japan to cheek‑kissing in France, every culture has its own rules for showing respect. But do you always know what to do, or what not to do, when you visit another country?

In this conversation class, we’ll explore:
- Common etiquette rules in our countries (greetings, table manners, gifts)
- Surprising dos & don’ts from around the world
- Why etiquette exists and how it changes over time

By the end of the session, you’ll share your own customs, learn new ones, and feel more confident navigating global manners!
