Dear friends,

Actually, whenever we learn a language we automatically learn its culture. For instance, some expressions will just be used in some situations. This is pragmatics!
For instance, when somebody takes a bus, everything need to be linked with the act in catching the bus in a different culture with (often) different attitudes.
Teachers and students must be aware in respecting the differences presented in L1 and L2 when they are teaching or learning such language.

Sincerely,

Gustavo
