5 ways to tell if he or she is an American

American

Imagine that you are on a flight, wondering what nationality the person sitting next to you is. Well they speak English, so what? You don’t get the accent. Here are 5 ways you can tell if they are American:

1. Friendly. Americans would strike up a conversation with a stranger without thinking twice. Chances are, you won’t get monosyllabic “Yes” “No” responses to your questions … even from the shy ones.

2. Compassionate. Generally the first to lend a helping hand to  strangers in any kind of crisis – whether it’s the lady hoisting an over sized bag unto the overhead compartment of that plane or the African mother who falls after attempting to get off the much dreaded unfamiliar elevator that leaves these nervous parents bruised and embarrassed at international airports.

3. Confident. Often mistaken for arrogance, American voices tend to be quite loud and clear, emphatically making their ‘wants’, feelings and thoughts known.

4. Clean. While Italians take the top spot for ‘the most fashionable’, Americans are right up there when it comes to style, although you often see them spotting the signature jeans.

5. Polite. Good at hiding their feelings, it is not uncommon to get a forced smile from an American when they obviously don’t like you or don’t want to be bothered as confirmed by their body language.

Americans are generally breezy and fun. Hope this helps the next time you find yourself wondering, “hmmm, could they be American?”
