Two peopleSuccessful Encounters has two purposes: to give you basic knowledge of how Americans think and act, and show you what to do and say in social situations.

Many people study English for years, only to feel like an "outsider" when they finally interact with Americans. Perhaps this comes from a lack of understanding about the culture, or maybe it is because studying grammar, vocabulary and literature do not help you survive an invitation to a dinner party!

Language and literature are wonderful pursuits, but speaking practically, it is also important to feel relaxed in a foreign country, not constantly afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing. It is even more important to develop friendships which can last long after you have returned home.

Successful Encounters is designed to make your social interactions easier. Here are some of the things you will learn:
Successful Encounters
  • How to meet and greet people.
  • How to make conversation at social gatherings.
  • What to say on the telephone.
  • How to give compliments.
  • How to interact with the opposite sex.
  • All about American politics and religion.
  • How to use polite language when you disagree.
  • Where to meet people.
  • Where to find help when you need it.
