Can you count how many times you’ve had to deal with that pang of discomposure because of an encounter with someone from a different culture?

You soon realised how the experience could have been enriched if you had understood that person’s language

And more often, these conversations involve nothing more than “Hello”, “Thank you “, “How’re you?”, “Bye”

And that’s it! You miss out on an authentic cultural experience because you couldn’t join in.

I used to have a friend from another country who I enjoy hanging out with, but we only speak to each other in English.

As time goes on, I think I could strike off a deeper friendship with him. On the other hand, he makes friends better with those that can speak his language and anytime I’m among them, I feel totally lost.

I know it is not possible to learn every language in the world and have an intimate knowledge of every single culture out there.

However, if there’s one culture that you’d like to understand better or even one person you’d like to know better, one of the best ways you can start is by learning to speak their language.
