It is hard to make friends with foreigners ? How to get along with foreigners?sometimes I think it is difficulty.Because we have different culture and education background . I am sad because I lost a thought very important friend in my heart. One small thing, cause we are no longer friends, because of a bad word, I said, don't like it, then he is closer to the blacklist. Don't make friends must be identical, match words with deeds? We used to be a very good friend, today I'm sad for a day, I do not know how to make friends with foreigners

Just be yourself and try to choose friends that are accepting and understanding of other cultures. It is just human nature for people to be ethnocentric which is looking at things based on their own culture. Sometimes they may not realize they are doing this. But a good friend will always be accepting and understanding of your culture.

In my experience - I work with colleagues from various countries, have lived in numerous areas of the world, and practice with speakers of many languages - problems arise due to inflexibility i.e., one party insists on imposing their expectations (cultural or otherwise) on the other party. I find this narrow minded attitude rather odd as surely one of the pleasures of language exchange with others is experiencing/learning about different ways of living, thinking etc. In my view, both parties should expect such differences, anticipate culture clashes and be prepared to take into account different modes of communication etc. Rarely happens - I often come across rude people on this site who tell me that, for instance, calling me repeatedly when I have made it clear I am busy, is 'normal' behaviour in their view. While I doubt such rudeness is considered normal anywhere, we really must respect different opinions and standards in practice and not only pay lip service to tolerance.
