What I've found is that it's pretty difficult to remember culture and language at the same time - at least, when I just started out learning in the classroom. I was taught to be polite to my teacher, but the way my brain works, I think of dictionary form or slang first - and that's the thing that I end up telling my teacher. Later, I would have to correct myself. But it can be hard.
