387. Why Are Some People Always Late? The Cultural Meaning of Time (English Vocabulary Lesson)
Om avsnittet
You are invited to a party. The invitation says the party starts at 20:00. What time will you arrive?
Your answer to this question has a lot to do with your culture. Some of you will have said 20:00 exactly, because that is when the part stats. Others will have said 19:45, because it is polite to be early. Others will have said 20:30… or 21:00… or later because it is awkward to arrive too early.
Your answer to my question is connected to how your culture understands time: the direction of time; the use time; punctuality; and more.
So today I want to look at the cultural meanings of time, highlight some common cultural misunderstandings that will be relevant for any of you living/studying/or working internationally, and do all of this while introducing new English vocabulary and practicing your English listening comprehension.
