British Culture and Stereotypes: Facts or Caps

What do you know about British people? Do you believe that they carry their umbrellas ☂️ and drink tea 🫖 all the time?

On the last English Practice we explored British Culture and looked through some stereotypes that lots of people have. It was really interesting to find out that Brits love queuing for anything and everything. They also have a certain code of conduct when it comes to queuing and you can never jump the line.


Another stereotype which was new for me is that the British have a “stiff upper lip” and they traditionally do not express their emotions or talk about how they feel openly.
We also could compare those facts to our culture and shared our thoughts in English. Thanks to @peacecorpsukraine we have a native speaker from the USA 🇺🇸 who helps improve our English.
If you’re interested in exploring Great Britain 🇬🇧 or just want to boost the language we invite you to join our online meetings on Thursdays at 4pm 🇺🇦.

We’re happy to celebrate its Independence Day having our English practice

Ukraine is not only an independent country, but it’s our home with beautiful nature, great people and rich culture. We’re happy to celebrate its Independence Day having our English practice.



We talked a lot about our country, looked through some stereotypes that foreigners might have about Ukrainians and learned some Ukrainian proverbs and sayings, comparing them with English idioms and made sentences to consolidate them. Overall it was a nice practice with friendly people
