‘When you enter a new culture, you don’t just learn a new language—you learn a new way of being.’
Watch the video below to see a humorous example of how cultural misunderstandings can happen in everyday situations.
The video shows how small differences in behaviour, expectations, or communication styles can easily lead to confusion, and why real-life experience matters.
