Talking about one's culture

anasskhalfi

Morocco

Hi everybody!

This is a gateway to know about others'cultures : one reads about another's culture then speaks about theirs. For Example:

I am Anass from Morocco. Morocco is situated in North Africa.It has borders with Algeria(East)Mautitania (South) The Atlantic OceanWEST) Th Mediterranean(North). It is far from Europe about 15 kilometres(Spain). The official language is Arabic, but Amazigh is also spoken by a wide range of people. Islam is the religion of the Moroccans but there is also a small minority of Jews. Some of the traditional dishes are: Couscous, Tajin, Pastilla… As for clothes, we have Jellaba, kaftan,Sharbil… Moroccans are renowned for their hospitality and respect for the others. Some of its international cities are: Fes, Marrakesh,Agadir, Rabat… (By THE WAY, MOROCCO IS A TOURISTIC COUNTRY ). This is by no means a thorough description of  Morocco but just a means to practise the language.

What about your country?

Viet Nam

Vietnam is a country which lie in East Asian. It's my country. My father land is famous for beautiful landscapes such as Ha Long Bay, Phong Nha cave, Da Lat, Sa Pa… Beside, Vietnam has a lot of other world Heritage Centre such as Hoi An ancient town, Hue's Court, My Son Sanctuary… Traditional costume of Vietnam is "Ao dai". This word is a vietnamese word which has not correspondent english word. Today, "Ao dai" is only used by women. Men rarely use "Ao dai". Ha Noi is capital of Vietnam. Vietnamese is friendly and hopitable. I very glad to see you in Vietnam on some day.

Hi everyone!

It seems to me that the majority of people are not interested to talk about their culture. The question is : is it a problem of language or something else?

 

Let me know if you like.
