Wow. Everything you said explained so much about the things I've encountered with the Iranians I've helped coach in their English practice! The expression "don't be tired" has frustrated me a little, not understanding what they meant beyond their repeated "it's customary to say that," because as a chronically ill person, I'm ALWAYS tired and I can't do anything to help that. Lol I love your alternate suggestion much better. I could definitely be blessed with more strength. As for passing workers, there's absolutely nothing that says you can't thank them for what they're doing or compliment their work if you feel like you need to say something more than "Hello" or "have a great day!"
I'm so glad it helped, and yes, you are absolutely right about thanking/complimenting workers with more than a hello. I'll have to remember that next time. Thanks so much for reading!
I will share your vids to my Iranian friends, they are studying English😉. Who knows maybe they are already your students? That would be amazing. Shab bekheir Pontia 😘
Enjoyed a lot reading. thanks!
