Goal Ideas

  • Do you know how to introduce two people properly? Learn the rules for introductions in your culture and practice with friends.

  • Good manners are important even when we’re not face to face with someone. Learn the rules of online and social media etiquette, such as not reacting in anger and being respectful. Create a list you can refer to as a reminder.

  • Etiquette for formal dining can be very different than for casual dining. Learn about formal dining etiquette in your culture, then have a formal dinner with family or friends to practice what you have learned.

  • If you have the chance to visit or have visitors from another country, learn about the etiquette for that country.
