 It is constantly highlighted in the media that there is a “special relationship” between the US and Britain. The two nations have a historical link, they both speak English, and they both share common values. In spite of these similarities, you have iconic artists such as Sting singing: “I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York…” which clearly highlights that being a former colony, speaking the same language, and agreeing that freedom and democracy are essential is not enough to be classified under the same label.  From my experience American students sometimes find it a little difficult to settle in the UK. They have to cope with beans on their breakfasts, butter on their sandwiches and all or nothing final exams that count for 100% of their grades (although this is not true for all breakfasts, sandwiches and universities in the UK). Americans are indeed part of a different tribe that separated from Britain the moment the first colonies in North America started to have different experiences and mixing with other cultures. A good example of this is that during World War II American troops based in England were given manuals on how to behave to avoid upsetting the locals.  If American students find it difficult to settle in the UK, imagine a student that comes from a country that has nothing to do with Britain and whose first language is not English. As you can imagine things are a little more complicated for him or her. Leaving aside cultural differences, which affect the total population of overseas students, language can be a serious barrier to thrive for non-native speakers.  Taken from : Taken from :

 Can you imagine a foreigner coming to the Czech Republic to live here for some time?  What are the things he/she has to put up with?  What will be different and difficult for him? You can choose any nationality (someone that you have some experience with) and try to discuss with your partner all the problems this foreigner might face in the Czech Republic

 What comes to your mind when you imagine:  Italian person  Englishman  Japanese  Vietnamese  Spaniard  Colombian  Swede  Slovak  Polish  French  German Is it always true?Are these just stereotypes?
