Cross-cultural communication

Cross-cultural communication is when people from different backgrounds and cultures talk or work together. It is a way to learn new things and build understanding between different groups of people. When people are communicating across cultures, they may have different ideas and expectations about how they should behave or talk. It is important to be sensitive to these differences and communicate with respect and openness. To do this successfully, try to learn as much as possible about the other person's culture so you can use the appropriate language, gestures and expressions when talking. Also, remember to listen carefully and be patient when people express their ideas or views.
