Thank you so much for signing up for the Easy English Video Course.

Now, for you to learn english

you need to know

all different kinds of things

about english.

You need to know some vocab, vocabulary,

you need to know some grammar,

you need to know about

American culture

and customs.

See those are very helpful

for you to you

understand

how to learn the language.

You also need some idioms,

some slang,

uh, maybe a little street talk.

We're gonna give you all of that,

okay.

So, this first week

I'm going to

teach you some vocabulary,

some grammar,

some american culture,

uh, we're gonna do a few stories,

we're going to read some pop culture,

just some

kinda, smutty english about some stars.

We're gonna have a few guest speakers

so, we're going to have

a lot of fun.

If you have any questions

let me know in the comments below

and I'll try to answer all of those. Okay?

So, today's lesson is about

American

Values.

Do you know what values are?

What is a value?

Well, a value is something that

a person

tries to represent

in their culture.

It's sort of, the way that they think.

So,

here are a few american

values

that you should know,

number one:

individuality,

individuality.

What does that mean?

Well, Americans

are very

individual type people.

They like to spend some time

alone,

they like to do things

without

needing

other people's help.

They don't like to depend

on other people, like

their friends

or their family.

Now, I don't always like that

because

I would like to spend more time with my friends and family

and even to, sort of

count on them more.

But, it's not the way that we do it.

Americans

are very individual type of people.

The really seek opportunities where

if they're successful

they did it by themselves.

Number two,

number two:

american values.

Another American value

is privacy.

Americans

like to be very private.

So, that means that

they may, ah

go out alone,

not in a big group.

They made

like to do things alone.

So,

they like to spend time alone.

They also consider

uh, their home

or their house

kind of a private place.

So, whereas

in other places,

maybe Mexico

or in Europe,

you may drop by

someone's house.

You may

stop in at their house

when they're not

expecting you.

Well, in America

we don't really do that.

We're more

private. K.

Number two,

is privacy.

Number three

is

we really respect time,

we've got a value around

time.

So, this means that

Americans say

"time is money".

Okay.

That means that

uh,

when you say time is money

you mean that

you don't want to waste

time.

You want to make very efficient

use

of time. Okay. So,

Americans also like to be

punctual.

Or, "on time".

So if I say I will meet a friend

at 3pm

for lunch,

if I'm late

I will apologize.

I say,

"I'm sorry

I'm late for lunch".

I apologize if I'm late,

because

I respect time

and my friends respect time

and if I'm

late or not on time,

then I apologize.

Number four:

the fourth

American value

I'll talk about

today

is equality.

Equality.

Now this is very different

and many other places

in the world.

Because we

really consider everyone to be equal

so men,

women,

people of different races,

white, black

uh, different colored people,

different age of people.

So, young

middle-age and old

are all considered

equal.

Now, part of this came from

thousands of years ago

in the Roman

tradition of,

of really looking at values

and one Ancient Roman tradition was,

people are equal.

And that

tradition came over to America

and our

founding fathers

put this into the original

founding documents

of this culture.

So, Americans consider

everyone to be

equal.

And, that is of value that I really like.

Other cultures are different

and that's ok.

But, here

we consider everyone to be equal.

Alright. So, that's today's lesson

about American Culture.
