Welcome back to Polyglot Dreams! 🌏 In today's episode, join me, Tim Keeley, a professor of Cross-Cultural Management and Communication with 32 years of experience, as we unravel the secrets of effective cross-cultural communication. We've mastered the vocabulary and grammar, but have we delved into the intricate dance of cultural nuances?
In this insightful video, we explore how culture shapes communication, transcending language barriers. Cultures can be broadly classified into individualistic and collectivist, each with its unique dynamics. Individualistic cultures prize personal goals and direct expression, while collectivist cultures prioritize group harmony, leading to more indirect communication styles.
Join me on a journey through Japan 🇯🇵, China 🇨🇳, Thailand 🇹🇭, Indonesia 🇮🇩, and Colombia 🇨🇴, where we'll uncover the subtle ways disagreement is expressed. Flags will guide us through local languages, providing real-world examples to deepen our understanding.
Ever wondered about the degree of collectivism across the globe? Take a look at the map we've prepared, highlighting the highly collectivist countries we'll be exploring in this episode.
🗺️ Dive into the art of navigating indirect communication and discover how to foster effective dialogue across diverse cultures. Whether you're a language enthusiast, a traveler, or someone keen on expanding your intercultural communication skills, this video is your passport to decoding the secrets of cross-cultural communication.
