A casual greeting can elicit vastly different reactions across cultures. Cross-cultural communication is not just a linguistic challenge but also a test of sensitivity. This lecture will explore potential pitfalls in cultural inquiries through everyday scenarios and global case studies, delving into the delicate balance between directness and subtlety. From stereotypes to the underlying logic of provocative language, we will uncover how to foster friendliness and trust within diverse cultural contexts.
Learn how to turn every conversation into an opportunity for cross-cultural connection, rather than a source of misunderstanding.
