How to be British...
English people sometimes think foreign visitors to Britain are rude. This is often for two reasons:
-Their intonation pattern is very different from English.
Some languages are more direct than English when discussing. Certain subjects, especially when they are about money.

For example, if two people is having a cup of coffee in a café and one has no money, he wouldn’t say” can you pay for the coffee?” I forgot my money” as this sounds too direct in polite English( although it could be acceptable in other languages). It would be better to say” Would it possible for you to pay for the coffee?”” or”” Do you think you could possibly pay for the coffee?” Note that the word” could” is considered more polite than “ can” in these cases.
