Spanish

Bien, en el tema del trabajo existe la relación profesional y la relación personal, a pesar de que realmente las relaciones de negocios siempre existe también un trato social. El trato social, la experiencia que yo tengo es distinto, cuando se produce con personas europeas y cuando se produce con personas americanas. La vida social con europeos es una vida social, con la familia, en visitas, fiestas, cenas. Esto no sucede con las personas americanas. Las personas americanas anteponen su vida profesional a la vida social. Esto es la experiencia que yo tengo con respecto al trato en distintas culturas, americanos y europeos.

Well, in work related topics there exists a professional relationship and a personal relationship, despite the fact that in business relationships there always exists the social side. As to the social dealings, the experience I have is distinct, depending on when dealing with European people and when you are dealing with American people. A social life with Europeans is a social life, with the family, with visits, parties, dinners. This doesn’t happen with the American people. The Americans put their professional life before their social life. This is the experience that I have with respect to dealing with different American and European cultures.
