Cultural and language differences

[Yelena Bobko ACTR/ACCELS]

Dear Colleagues:
I am working on creating a video for teachers who are dealing with new comers(kids and adults)  from the Former Soviet Union Republics. We are trying to give them an overview of the cultural and language differences. I would appreciate any suggestions, link and help  to make it interesting, educational and funny. We are covering such topics as:
Tenses, articles, lenth of words,sounds, literal language, humor and funny situation,  cheating, privacy issues etc.

If you have anyhting to offer, please share with me. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Elena Bobko, russian/ ukrainian interpreter.
