  • LMAO..love the future American business leader doing a keg stand

  • Nice set of videos. Of course it's a good introduction and like how it's so hands-on!! Of course everyone in America has a different way of doing things. Those handshakes were not so common where I have lived, minus the first one! :)

  • then we have the jumping-on-the-other-guys-back kind of greeting. I see a lot of that in high school. Skip the ones in this videos. lol

  • so great.

  • So very true-he nailed it!

  • The one edit I would make is with the last one. It is okay to actual throw your arm around pat the other guy on the back, often with a bit of a chest bump thrown in for good measure.

  • Those handshakes apply mostly to men. Women are abit different, but so far he was fairly accurate.

  • I've seen and participated in every handshake preformed in this video. It's dead on. Though sometimes I skip the first three and move directly to the forth

  • Yeah, as an American in the north I've only seen the first one, but damn that was funny.

  • Thanks for this video. Really funny and actually informative as well! I remember I had a great friend in grad school who was Dutch, and when he was moving back home we went to say goodbye...he made an effort to do it the American way, I made an effort to do it the Dutch way. We ended up with an awkward combination of hug, kiss and handshake :)

    I shared this video on VOA's Student Union blog for international students.

  • bottom up approach :)

  • Very funny stuff hahaha who dislikes this?
