- What are common questions to ask in India, and if they are acceptable with Americans
- How to translate Indian English questions into American English (if needed)
- Different variations (or synonyms) for these questions
- How to hear these questions more clearly if Americans are speaking fast (accent reduction and listening comprehension)
- How to answer these questions
- How to add these questions into various types of conversations
- Which questions are acceptable, avoidable and cautionary
