Dramatic is a strong word but definitely different. I'm more to the point in German, softer in Czech, but partly because each of those cultures sort of demands those changes. If I acted my German-speaking way in Czech, they'd think I was up-tight, I wouldn't really fit in, and the opposite in the other direction. Who we are is 20% or more (depending on the person) the country/culture/language we're in at the time, and that's true for everyone.
