- "lo siento mucho mijo"

this happen, and how can I correct this?
- English is not their language and it is hard for them to speak it. Some ways I can correct this is by continuous work with language and telling them to try again when they have made a mistake.

Cultural values are are the core principles and ideals upon which an entire community exists. This is made up of several parts: customs, which are traditions and rituals; values which are beliefs; and culture, which is all of a group's guiding values.

While members of a culture may share the larger norms of their society, the importance and intensity these norms are held may vary within culture itself. These variations are based off of socioeconomics, generational, gender, and/or ethnic differences. 

Culture norms so pervade thought and action that the few individuals recognize the assumptions governing their behavior, and because so much cultural knowledge is subconsious, people rarely notice that thru interept and talk about events differently than do people in other cultures until they are confronted with a culture different of their own.
