Chapter 7

I thought that chapter 7 was very interesting.  I hadn't really considered the cultural aspect as laid out in the chapter.    We have come a long way with political correctness.  I was surprised to read how the French magazine described dealing with Americans, though was it really that far off?  As I was reading I wondered if other countries, in teaching their native language, took into account the cultures present in their classes.  In Spain do the teachers get trained much like we are?    I wonder if they have a more variety of cultures present.
