Hosting a visitor from abroad

Someone is here for the first time, curious about how things work — and you are the one who knows.

What makes this one hard

Explaining your own country in English pulls every sentence toward the first person plural — "in Korea, we…" — which quietly makes you the spokesperson for a habit that might only be your family's. English hedges this constantly and expects you to: most people I know, it depends on the family, older generations more than mine. The second trap is apologising. A custom explained with sorry attached invites your guest to reassure you instead of being interested, and the plain version of the same fact is far better to listen to.
