We have been in London for a few days and we have really enjoyed the experience: music, color, freedom, order, diversity, tolerance... it is a cosmopolitan city!

And how have the English communicated with us?
In general, everyone has been kind and has answered our questions... As long as we meet two requirements:
- Communicate with them with great humility and maximum education. If you are direct and ask: “Where is the British Museum?” They stare at you and seem offended. The correct phrase would be: Could you please tell me where the British
Museum? or Can I ask you a question?… - Speak English well: It is difficult to find an English person who speaks Spanish, therefore we are the ones who have to make an effort to learn their language.
In restaurants, we have also seen the importance of being very respectful: We will never say “A beer!” Nooooo! The correct thing will be: “I would like to (have) a beer please.”
And if we need a pen, we will never, never ask like this: “Can I have your pen?” We should say: Could I borrow your pen please? Or Can I borrow your pen please?
Using these Magic words"The English are friendly and helpful. I invite you to try it![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
