We can still communicate with people from other cultures despite linguistic and cultural differences. The important thing, as Rebecca says, is to be aware of these differences and to think about them when we meet people from different backgrounds. And when we do this, we take an important step on the road to more effective inter-cultural communication. Of course, language isn't the only tool we use to communicate with one another. In our next two programmes we'll be thinking about other ways of communicating and looking at some of the, sometimes embarrassing, intercultural problems they can create. I'll leave you with a final word on language from Rebecca Fong. And the final word is “fun". Join us next time.
I've studied a lot of languages and I've completely enjoyed myself learning them. For a start, you're accepted much better in the cultures where you've tried to learn the language. People are automatically willing to give you far more if you've spent some time learning their language.
