Questions for a first meeting ♫
It's not unusual to ask questions to find out about someone when meeting for the first time. In some countries,
there are certain questions that you shouldn't ask because they might make the person uncomfortable. In your
country, what types of questions are OK to ask on first meeting someone? What types of questions are not OK?
- In Korea, it's OK to ask someone's age so you know whether to use formal language.
- In Canada, it's not OK to ask someone's age because some people don't like to say how old they are.
- In Mexico, it's not OK to ask about someone's religion because some people think it's too personal.
