Best Ways to Immerse Yourself in American Culture!!!!

To get a better idea of local American cultures you need to:
  • You need to be able to speak, read, and write English in order to communicate.
  • Attend festivals, cultural shows, and other local events. These events help you expand your knowledge and see local cultures firsthand. In addition, it is a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
  • Partake in local cuisine. Eat outside your normal “comfort” zone and try new foods that are available locally.
  • Dress the part. Dress like you are a local and not a tourist. People will tend to be more open and engaging.
  • Read about local customs, holidays, and other information about a particular area before leaving home
  • Talk to Others. Talk with any family or friends that have been or will be in the town or city you are going to. They will be able to easily help you out because they were once in your shoes. 
  • Have an Open Mind. This is important in many circumstances, but especially when traveling. Not everything is going to be how you expected it to be, or even less so, how it is back home. That’s kind of the point of going to new places. You have to take the good with the bad. But remember, different definitely doesn’t mean bad.
  • Explore: Once you’ve arrived, get out and explore! Check out the different neighborhoods and learn to take public transportation.

American Food

  This is a   list of American foods   and dishes. There are a few foods that predate colonization, and the   European colonization of the Americas   brought about the introduction of many new ingredients and cooking styles. This variety continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th proportional to the influx migrants from additional foreign nations. There is a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the United States. This list is not exhaustive, nor does it cover every item consumed in the U.S., but it does include foods and dishes that are  common  in the U.S. (highly available and regularly consumed),  or  which originated there. The list is representative only. For more foods in a given category, see the main article for that category.  This is a  dynamic list  and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by  adding missing items  with  reliable sources . Ameri...
