My name is Fabrice, I&#8217;m French, and I&#8217;ve been leaving in the US for almost 4 years now in Chicago. In spite of this time of immersion, I&#8217;ve yet have to achieve my goal: being bilingual, and your podcast really helps a lot! It&#8217;s a pleasure to listen to you every day: you often make me smile and I learn so much without even noticing it!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Two years ago, I married an American, which has helped me a lot to improve my English, obviously. However, because of the language gap, we argue once in a while.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>One of the things he keeps make me noticing is that I use a lot of negative forms (for example, instead of saying &#8220;I had a great time&#8221;, I&#8217;d rather say &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t boring&#8221;, or instead of &#8220;It&#8217;s warmer today&#8221; I would say &#8220;It&#8217;s less cold&#8221;). I think it&#8217;s a French habit that it&#8217;s hard for me to get rid of, and my question is: Do Americans really avoid speaking with negative forms? Would you have tips to give to people regarding this topic, if it&#8217;s relevant?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Thanks again for taking the time to read my question and eventually to answer to it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Best regards, Fabrice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Two things are probably happening:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1- Our cultural value towards things that are positive in the US and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-126-american-optimism\/\">optimistic<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2- Exaggeration in our language. Everything is hyped up. American culture rewards extremes. This may be related to the free market. Everywhere we go we see marketing messages that emphasize success and money versus a certain modesty or self control. Our culture does not value the idea of modesty or the idea of not over emphasizing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t forget!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today we\u2019re going to focus more on the inclination towards the positive in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-616-can-say-no-nosy-person-american-culture\/\">American culture.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any time we talk about culture I want to make it clear that we are not trying to stereotype.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We <em><strong>never<\/strong><\/em> assume that \u201ceveryone\u201d acts a certain way from a certain culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially important today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we watch the news it&#8217;s easy to make cultural assumptions and this can create fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point of this show is to find out what we have in common which is a desire to connect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However we shouldn\u2019t forget that our cultures teach us to see the world differently and this knowledge can help us connect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Americans often tend to emphasize the positive. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What phrases do we use?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1- Don\u2019t be a Debbie Downer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2- Think on the bright side<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3- Well, the good news is\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4- You need to stay positive,&#8230; (when someone gets sick)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/italki\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8643\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-English-Teachers-online-300x250.png?3be7cf&amp;x75886&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;7e6c42&amp;da651c&amp;f7a083&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-English-Teachers-online-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-English-Teachers-online.png 336w\" alt=\"Native English Teachers online\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><strong>Are you looking for a professional, native English teacher online?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get a native English teacher online in seconds at <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/promos.italki.com\/allearsenglish\/\"><strong>italki<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lindsay and Michelle recommend italki as our #1 English-learning solution online.

Stanford psychology postdoctoral fellow <a href=\"http:\/\/www-psych.stanford.edu\/~tsailab\/tamara.htm\">Tamara Sims<\/a> was the lead author on the research <a href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/psycinfo\/2015-28935-001\/\">paper<\/a>, which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Sims noted that a number of studies by other researchers have shown that people from Chinese and other East Asian cultures are more likely to feel both negative and positive \u2013 or \u201cmixed emotions\u201d \u2013 during good events, such as doing well on an exam.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;On the other hand, Americans of European descent are more likely to just feel positive during good events. Tsai said this is explained by cultural differences in models of the \u201cself.\u201d Americans tend to be more individualistic and focus on standing out, whereas Chinese tend to be more collectivistic, focusing on fitting in.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cIn multicultural societies like ours, this can lead to deep misunderstandings,\u201d Tsai said.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;For instance, Americans might view Chinese who feel bad during good events as being depressed, when in fact they are feeling how their culture expects them to feel.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;In an interview, Sims said, \u201cAlthough Americans know what it\u2019s like to look for the good in the bad \u2013 the silver lining \u2013 they are less likely to see the bad in the good, compared to Chinese.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So according to this article it\u2019s the values that we hold close that come through in the way we word things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are from France do you agree with what the listener asked? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What have you observed in other cultures?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are from China what do you think about this study?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, we are not trying to stereotype and put people in boxes, but I think it\u2019s important that we look at culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps us understand how we see the world through different lenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Leave your comment or question below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does your home culture influence the way that you express yourself?
