I'm usually just happy to hear English publicly spoken. There are only a handful of nations were English is the first language so I can't understate how much of a relief it can be to feel you are amongst your own native tongue. It's language difficulties that start to wear me out. As well as not being able to say anything subtle.
That said, my reverse culture shock is encountering crass, outspoken American women. Women in America can really lack a certain "softness" and gentle nature that is easily found abroad.
