This woman called an American fat to his face!! 🇺🇸🥴 #english #learnenglish #englishlearning

I called someone fat in the US and I regretted it. If you haven't seen this video, it's about a woman who grew up in Hong Kong and she lives in the US now. She gave one of her coworkers a hug and told him he was fat to his face. She goes on to explain that in Hong Kong it's not uncommon to joke about being fat between friends. She said she regrets it and she did seem very apologetic, but I think this brings up a really great point. Language and culture are truly so intertwined with each other. So if you're learning a language, it's important to learn the culture as well. You can learn all the vocab and grammar in the world, but different cultures attach different meanings to those words. So if you don't learn about the culture, then you'll really struggle when it comes to your communication skills.
