Therefore it's time to synergize your staff's language learning with cultural awareness!

Culture and language are undeniably intertwined. Language is the verbal expression of culture. Culture is the idea, custom and beliefs of a community. Understanding the nature of the relationship between language and culture is the key to learning another language. The difficulty of language learning lies not in the language itself, but in the culture of which the language is used. Without cultural awareness, one can never expect to be an effective language learner.
