I am not a british and english is even not my first language (i know engl little bit). I have a coursemate from england. Our courses is in korea, and i've never met any british people before. It was the first day of our lessons, and i started converstaion with him like this: — Psss... Hey, where are you from? — England — Wow. Cool.... ... ... mmm.... ...do u like tea??😁 — Oh, no. Actually, i dont really drink tea that much. And i also dont watch football. — Oh, haha. Got it... .... ... hmm.... ....but, do you like The Beatles? How do u think was it rude? Or impolite? Dont know how british people react to a funny questions about tea and Beatles. Maybe it's getting on a nerve, maybe not. I dont know so i am here. We didnt talk anymore after this... And yeah, he likes Beatles.
