5jj is not kidding you. It might be common to call each other "dear" in Algeria while practicing English with your friends (and posts here suggest that it is), but calling an English native "dear" could be taken as an insult, bad manners, or at least a strange lack of knowledge of the culture of which you are learning the language. In certain situations, it could also be construed as a homosexual overture. Please take note.dear i've found a cambridge book of speaking

That's all very well. But when you learn someone else's language, you don't get to arbitrarily choose one of their words to show respect, or to mean what you want it to. You have to learn what a certain word means to them, and use it accordingly.for me "dear" it is to respect the teacher
