What advice would you give a visitor about good manners in your culture?

A natural way to answer

I'd tell them to be patient and observe before acting. Respect personal space, wait your turn, and avoid talking too loudly in quiet places. People here appreciate a bit of reserve, so it's better to err on the side of being too polite than too familiar.

Key phrases to use

• take your cue from — watch how others behave and copy them to know what to do“If you're unsure at a formal dinner, take your cue from the host.”
• blend right in — fit in so well with a group that you don't stand out“After a week, she'd learned the customs and blended right in.”
