It's true, eh? Sometimes Lerochka has a Canadian smile!!! Sometimes not! She is clearly confused.

and maybe this is a Bulgarian smile (without teeth)

Ahhh... My stomach hurts from laughing. I have never seen anyone smile like that in my entire life.

We should ask Maxim...maybe he can do it!! Albenka is too beautiful to be able to smile so crazy!!! As for Maxim

Hmm, maybe some boxer which teeth are knocked out (if that's the right word)

I'm glad I made you laugh, Alex and Lana

Erm... Marina must explain. She's the expert.

Haha... So I'm a smile expert . Sounds good !

Vania wrote:

that's the most funny thing I heard in this forum (or one of the funniest )

Erm... Lana laughed a lot too with my smiles stories... But it's true !
I love Lana when she smiles Canadian-ly, she's so cute ! I'm training to do the same smile, but it's really hard. I'm just European I guess...

And Vania, I really hope that you don't smile like that : . Or only when you will be a very very old grand'ma !

As for Lerochka, I'm sure she took this cold smiley... because the weather is always too cold in Canada ! What do you think about that Lana ?
I guess it's a bit "cliché", just like the French smiley with his beret .

Totally, Alex!!! But who should ask? Where's Lerochka when you need her?

That's a good theory.
I'm never going to think of this smiley the same way again.

Yesss!!! You are definitely the smile expert, Marina! No one else has as much insight & knowledge about the difference between Canadian (North American) & European smiles.

I did! We had that whole conversation on MSN. You must have mentioned North American smiles about five times before I actually asked you what it meant! hehe.
And you are training to do that smile? Gooo Marina!!! Are you practicing in front of a mirror?

Yes, in front of a mirror, or I take a lot of pictures, and then, I look them to see if I do the Canadian smile correctly or not. Yes, I'm crazy, I know.

Only -1 C ! You're right, that's good ! Tomorrow morning, it will be 3 C in Paris. You're right, it's not that cold...

And I've just seen your location Lana, thank you ! It made me laugh a lot (or smile Canadian-ly ).
You're the best (and the nicest ) vibes sender in the world !!!

speaking a slavic language you are most likely to smile in our peculiar eastern - european way, showing no down teeth. )) the lips work in our smile and it's not necessary to show teeth at all.
Europeans - romanian languages speaking (french, italian, romanian) show more teeth.
And Englishmen, americans and Germans are the teethshowing champions ))

Although it sounds very funny, maybe ther's some reason in it!
Aaaand...Vala, that's the proof you're right:

I have never ever in my life thought about smiles around the world. Not to mention the diferences between them.
But you're right.....I show more teeth but my smile is not as wide as a Canadian one. When I show them, it's only the upper teeth.

Haa!! and I noticed today that your theories are correct!! Jeffrey Buttle has a typical Canadian smile as well.

It's cause I'm an English teacher - I had to study phonetics professionally, to add to it I study differences in Russian and American culture ))

Heheh, it's a quite interesting aspect of the phonetics I've studied it, too, but I don't think they taught us such things
