European stereotypes was a really interesting series of articles from The Guardian where six countries were asked to stereotype each other.
Theresa Dold also showed us the way Google can help us build up a stereotype of a nationality through its autocomplete algorhythm.
We also have a beginner's guide to the British and Benny Lewis's view of US, not to mention the stereotypical roles of men and women within a family.
This new addition to the topic of stereotypes will be of great interest for the Spanish students reading this blog: Five things I have about living in Spain depicts Barry O'Leary's experience of living in Spain. After six or seven years settled down in Seville, this is the way he views his life in Spain:
1 Always a guiri, a foreigner
2 Absolute rubbish
3 Frogger
4 Deadly summer heat waves
5 The word "crisis"
Drop by Barry's Teaching English in a Foreign Land blog and find out what he really means by all those five hateful things of living in Spain.
The blog is well worth a visit on a regular basis as Barry seems to be the guy who always has something interesting to say, and knows how to say it.
