In the Internship at Ten thousand villages, there is a colleague that is trying to learn french I asked him what techniques he used to learn frech I remembered what my Explorer class taugh me I tryed to tell him a little bit about it and with that I realized that it may be easy for me because I'm taugh how to learn a foreign thong but for others it might be difficult. This anecdote made me realize that I’m am more aware of my learning strategies in general thanks to what I learn! And the constant contact I have with Anglophones really helps me learning new word and expression like ‘hawk eyes’ and so on.
My observation about culture is more about culture in general I think that culture can’t be told by language it is more about your social surrounding and background. I think culture depends really of what you like or don’t and who you are as an individual but maybe I’m mistaken with personalities. Just a little detail I don’t if it really has to do with Anglophone or culture but I think it could be personal space about personal space. A few time when I was in my internship customers and even my colleagues get to close to my personal space and I don’t like it to much but instead of saying it out loud or jumping far away from them and by doing that creating a ‘‘wall’’ between  us I do it subtly so everyone is happy.
Expressions and new words
My supervisor told me to keep my eyes open in the in the store to have; hawk eyes. Another one more funny is ‘holy cow’ but I won’t say that I don’t know if it’s a negative expression if someone could tell me it would be appreciated. Another thing I’ve learned is that cashier is the person behind the cash register which is the right word for it I kept saying cashier instead of cash register.  For now it is all !
