Etiquette
Cultural etiquette dictates that when invited to someone’s home, you should bring a small gift for the hostess. Feel free to express your gratitude with a note or a telephone call. It is important to respect the British desire for privacy.
Don’t ask personal questions about family background and origin, profession, marital status, political preferences or money issues. It is considered extremely impolite to violate a queue, so never push ahead in a line.
On formal occasions, always select an outfit that fits the dress code. When attending a holiday dinner or cultural event, such as a concert or theatre performance, it isbest to dress formally.
Avoiding Conflict Altogether
Dining and Entertaining
The British enjoy entertaining at home. Guests should be punctual, though it won’t be/isn’t considered rude to be five or 10 minutes late. Guests also should sit down when they are invited to. Table manners are Continental, i.e. the fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the right while eating. When through with a meal, the British lay their fork and knife parallel across their plate.
People dining out with a group of British friends should be prepared to toast before the meal if it’s formal; at a pub, though, they are expected to pay for a round of drinks for everyone. If invited to a meal at a restaurant, the person extending the invitation usually pays. Do not argue about the check!
When meeting a Russian, male or female, for the first time, shake hands firmly while retaining eye contact. Looking away can be considered rude and indifferent. Men should wait for a woman to offer her hand first. Do not shake hands over a threshold; enter the room first, then shake hands. Russians commonly introduce each other through a third person, rather than directly introducing themselves. Russians familiar with each other greet one another with hugs and, among women, three kisses on the cheeks,as a non-native, do not assume familiarity; wait for your Russian acquaintances to take the lead.
Believe in yourself
This is the most important part of overcoming your shyness; you have to believe that who you are is worth knowing and sharing with the world. If you are convinced you are a boring and uninteresting person, you will be. If, on the other hand, you are certain that you have something to give the world and have big plans on the horizon, I have but one thing to say to you: “Hey, how’s it going?”
Tired of the same old opening lines? We’ve all heard them, and they can sometimes be a real turn-off. But since you never get a second chance to make a first impression, what’s said in those first few moments is as important as it often is tongue-tying. A great way to start a conversation in almost any situation is to ask questions. You can use the weather, your situation, or a request you may have, such as asking for directions. Break the ice by making a comment or statement, often followed by a question. This technique works especially well when you’re with a group of people sharing a similar experience. You can also make comments about your surroundings
